Abhishek Sharma: The Indian cricket team is soon going to be seen playing a three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. This team will play its first match on October 6 on its home soil. Suryakumar Yadav will be the captain of Team India. BCCI has already released the 15-member squad.

There is only one specialist opener in the team in the form of Abhishek Sharma. In such a situation, the problem now lies with the other partner. There were discussions that Sanju Samson would be the second opener. However, the news coming now is something else. Actually, Gautam Gambhir has decided to send another player from the team to start the innings. Let us know further in this article who that scoundrel is.

This stalwart will be Abhishek Sharma's partner.

Abhishek Sharma is once again going to be seen opening the innings for Team India during the T20 series against Bangladesh. Earlier, the 24-year-old player had also played this role during the first two matches played on the Zimbabwe tour. Apart from this, Abhishek has scored a lot of runs while opening for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL. In such a situation, this role is not new for him.

On the other hand, due to the absence of another specialist opener in the team, the question arises as to who will be Abhishek's opening partner. If the news coming from sources is to be believed then Riyan Parag can open for the Indian team. It is worth noting that if he comes to bat at number four while staying in 11, then Rinku Singh will have to come down to bat much lower. In such a situation, the team management can get Parag to open.

Players engaged in practice for the first match

Team India players are gearing up for the first T20 against Bangladesh. BCCI had released a video on its official Twitter handle. In this, under the leadership of fielding coach T Dilip, players were seen practicing first fielding and later bowling and fielding also.
