Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

The most anticipated pink ball Test is here. Bangladesh were humiliated at Indore thanks to the double ton from Mayank Agarwal and good support from Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara. The visitors faced a crushing innings defeat and will be low on confidence coming into this game. Their only positive was Abu Jayed who bowled really well to send back Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

On the other hand, India have been invincible at home and are on their way to complete a record 12th consecutive Test series win at home. India will play with full strength team again with this game also being the part of the World Test Championship in mind. They cruised to a comfortable total in spite of losing Kohli and Rohit cheaply.

Mohammed Shami has been deadly with the new ball and will be even more dangerous with the Pink ball in hand. Bangladesh batsmen will have to come up with some plans in order to tackle the hosts’ pacers after which only they can think of putting up a fight in the game.
