The visitors don't have room for complacency and will look to dominate Bangladesh in Dhaka. While India ticked most boxes, the team will hope to see valuable knocks from stand-in captain KL Rahul and batter Virat Kohli.
Bangladesh are now expecting some charisma from their star all rounder Shakib Al Hasan who’s still standing on the crease.
The majority of the team's members were selected for the T20 World Cup in October.
After a dismal run in the game's shortest format, Bangladesh will compete in the Asia Cup. Shakib has been given another chance to captain the team after Mahmudullah's three-year reign came to an end earlier this year.
Last Thursday, Shakib Al Hasan went to Kolkata via the Petrapole border to inaugurate a Kali Puja in the Beleghata area of the West Bengal capital.
Aakash Chopra picked two more cricketers in his top all-rounder's list.
Shakib Al Hasan was suspended for failing to report corrupt approaches and he pointed towards his lax attitude that saw him being out of the game.
“I don’t think they (ICC) will take a chance before they are very sure," Shakib said.
Shakib was suspended for failing to report corrupt approaches in October 2019.
