<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> have not had a good start to the Bangladesh tour, having failed to win the first two games of the ongoing 50-over leg. However, they have a great chance to redeem themselves in the upcoming two-match Test series, which starts on December 14.

India presently stand at the fourth position in the World Test Championship 2021-23 points table with points percentage of 52.08 and would like to win the upcoming series to give themselves a chance to qualify for the Finals in June. As they bid to conquer Bangladesh in the longest format of the game, let us look at the players to watch out for:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/shubman-gill-has-to-bide-his-time-little-bit-number-3-might-be-a-spot-scott-styris/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shubman Gill</a> is one of the finest opening batters going around in the Indian circuit at the moment. He has been quite phenomenal in the ODIs and has taken top-drawer bowling line-ups apart with his marauding bat. The 23-year-old has played 15 matches in the 50-over format and scored 687 runs at an average of 57.25.

However, the ace batter has not been able to thrive in Tests. He has shown glimpses of brilliance but has failed to make it big. Gill has featured in 11 Tests and scored 579 runs at an average of 30.47. Talking about India’s last Test, which was against England, the Punjab-born could only score a total of 21 runs in both innings.

Gill has been picked for the upcoming series against Bangladesh. He was likely to warm the bench with the senior opening duo of Rohit and KL Rahul also in the team. But with the Indian skipper’s thumb injury expected to rule him out of at least the first test, Gill has a great opportunity to show his batting prowess and stamp his authority in the longest format of the game.

From the time <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/havent-performed-the-way-i-wanted-to-mohammad-siraj-aims-a-turnaround-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammed Siraj</a> made his Test debut in December 2020, his stature in the international circuit has just risen and risen and the ace pacer has become an important member of India’s Test setup. He has featured in 13 matches and bagged 40 wickets at an average of 30.77.

Siraj has replicated his success in red-ball cricket to the limited-overs format and his recent bowling exploits are a proof of the same. When India clashed against New Zealand for a three-match T20I series, he picked up six wickets in two games at a superb economy of 5.12. Also, in the ongoing ODI series against the Bangla Tigers, the 28-year has bagged five scalps in two matches played so far.

With Mohammed Shami unlikely to feature in the upcoming Test series in Bangladesh, Umesh Yadav and Siraj will need to carry the mantle of India’s pace attack. The Hyderabad-born would like to carry on the good work and put on a show with the ball.

He has played 49 T20Is and scored 1043 runs at a strike rate of 135.98. Talking about the ODIs, the ace batter has aggregated 1534 runs in 38 matches at an average of 49.48.&nbsp;

The 28-year-old made his Test debut in November last year and has shown his batting might in the longest format of the game as well. Iyer has scored 422 runs in five matches at an average of 46.88. He has been entrusted with the middle-order slot and has done his job with perfection.

The ace batter has been in pristine touch this calendar year and amassed 721 runs in 16 ODIs. Given Iyer’s rich vein of form, he can take the forthcoming Test series by storm and nail down the middle-order slot. Further, the Mumbai-born is an excellent player of spin which could prove to be quite handy in Bangladesh.
