Now under the leadership of KL Rahul, the team will come down to save its pride. A defeat here would mean that they have been dropped by Bangladesh for the first time in their cricket history. Ahead of the match, pundits are already predicting possible changes, with some saying that both Rahul Tripathi and Rajat Patidar could get a game.
With three series losses and one home in 2022 World Cup ahead, the BCCI may intervene and ask the management to ditch the rotation policy, which means the likes of Tripathi and Patidar may not get a chance from this point on.
Reiterating this, former cricketer Ajay Jadeja has demanded that both of them be played in Chattogram.

“I am a big fan of Tripathi because he has come after working hard but the way I have seen Patidar play, there is a time for a youngster when he is playing well and comes in very good form It would be unfair to exclude anyone but when the carousel is going on why do you want these two players to be in the queue.

“When you’re playing everyone and just want to give one match and check, it’s probably the last chance, they might not be on the next tour.”
India is rotating players thanks to the abundance of talent available. But the former cricketer has time and again blamed the formula for mediocre white-ball results. According to him, the management should have a core of 15 players and back them all the time till the World Cup.
The rotation policy has seen captains like Rishabh Pant, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul leading the team in the last 12 months.
With the series already over, the management is expected to rope in youngsters. A win here would also mean that the team has momentum ahead of the two-match Test series.
