Here are the 5 players to watch out for in the match:

1. Rohit Sharma

As team India gears up for the game against Bangladesh, there is one Indian cricketer who would be under tremendous pressure to perform. And that cricketer is the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma. Rohit has had a terrible run of form in the recent times. He has failed to get a big score in the shortest format of the game.

His poor run of form has been continuing from the South Africa series. However, knocking the hard hitting Indian batsman, one could safely assume that a big knock is due from his willow. Every time he has struggled with poor form, Rohit has come back strong with a thumping performance.
