IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Pitch Report & Injury Updates for Bangladesh tour of India, 1st Test

Team India's (IND) much-anticipated home season is set to kick off with two matches of the Test series against Bangladesh, (BAN) which will commence on September 19 at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. The Men in Blue boast a formidable Test record at home, having gone unbeaten for over a decade.

On the other hand, Bangladesh is coming off a historic 2-0 series win against Pakistan and will aim to shake India's home dominance. The Rawalpindi Tests were mayhem for the hosts as the Bangla Tigers handed them a shambolic loss. Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men will be running high on motivation, but Team India's dominant stature poses a big threat to them. 

Meanwhile, the side has produced big upsets against Team India in the white-ball formats but has yet to beat them in the red-ball game. Bangladesh has historically showcased against Men in Blue, losing 11 out of the 13 matches, with two games ending in draws. 

In contrast, Team India has been brute force at home, staying undefeated in their last 17 Test series. It's no rocket science that Rohit Sharma and his men will commence the series as overwhelming favorites, but Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men would be no walkovers either this time.

As the team gears up for the upcoming clash, all eyes will be on the thrilling competition set to unfold on the cricket field. Ahead of the game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy tips, the pitch report, the top player picks, and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
