IND Vs BAN: India and Bangladesh will meet in a two-match series of the red ball format starting tomorrow at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. These two teams played the last series of the Test format in 2022 when the Blues toured Bangladesh. India hasn’t played any cricket since they toured Sri Lanka which ended in August 2024. The Men in Blue had won the three-match series of the shortest format but lost their first-ever bilateral series of the One Day International format in 27 years.

The Bangla Tigers won their maiden series in Pakistan and whitewashed the hosts of that Test series. Bangladesh will now look to repeat their heroics in India, against whom they haven’t won a single Test match. However, the Men in Blue are the favourites to win the series played at home because of their recent performances in the red ball format and the record of Rohit Sharma and his men hold in the red ball format versus the Bangla Tigers.
