Pitch Conditions | Bangladesh vs India 1st ODI

The Sher-E-Bangla Stadium normally produces high-scoring matches. The first-inning score of around 300 is expected here with the batting both the team possess. India has the highest score by any team on this ground. Their 370 in the opening match of ICC World Cup 2011 still stands as the highest total made on this ground.

Team News | Bangladesh

The biggest news for the Bangladesh fans ahead of the ODI series was the omission of their regular ODI captain Tamim Iqbal. Bangladesh pace-head Taskin Ahmed will also miss the series due to a back injury.

However, newly appointed captain Litton Das will have the services of Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib-Al-Hasan, Mustafizur Rahaman and Mahmudllah Riyad. Although Bangladesh have already qualified for the next world cup in 2023 and this series is not included in the  World Cup Super League, the tigers will want to make a mark against a full-strength India.

Shakib-Al-Hasan might be promoted up the order to bat at 3 while Litton and Anamul will be the ones to open the innings for the Bangla tigers. Meantime, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah will be the key men in the middle overs for them. With this combination, Yasir Ali might get a place in the playing XI as the bowling all-rounder option.

Team News | India

India will be at their full strength except for Mohammed Shami who got injured at the last moment and is replaced by young sensation Umran Malik. Jasprit Bumrah is still recovering from the injury he sustained before the T20 World Cup 2022. In addition, Ravindra Jadeja is also out of the squad as well due to injury. However, this Indian team still looks great on paper with Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli at the top.

KL Rahul will be seen playing at 5 while Washinton Sundar and Axar Patel will try to recover the absence of Jadeja in the middle. Mohammed Siraj and Deepak Chahar will surely be the ones to take the new ball for India with Shardul Thakur being the third pacer all-rounder for India.

Players under spotlight

Virat Kohli is only 30 runs away from becoming the second overseas player to hit 1000 ODI runs in Bangladesh. Although Kohli did not have a good run in this format in 2022, with the t20 form he was in, he will be very confident to get back in form in this series against Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, as India prep for the coming World Cup, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant will be under scrutiny as players like Sanju Samson are waiting in line.

On the contrary, for Bangladesh, Litton Das has been an absolute star in the green and maroon this season. Litton already has plied 500 ODI runs at an average of 62.50. However, with the added responsibility of captaincy, it will be interesting to see how he copes with the pressure.

Possible XIs

Bangladesh: Litton Das (capt), Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain

India: Rohit Sharma (capt), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wk), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj

4. Vaibhav Suryavanshi's debut six and century

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who became the youngest player to debut in IPL history, announced his presence by hitting his first ball in the IPL for a flat six! It intensifies in the later stage, when Rajasthan Royals faced GT, and this young boy scored 101 runs off 38 balls.

He not only became the youngest debutant, but also the youngest centurion in IPL history, and we're sure there's more to come in the future.

5. Punjab Kings defend lowest ever IPL total (vs KKR)

IPL 2025 gave us a huge surprise when Punjab Kings pulled off an unexpected victory against KKR by successfully defending 111 runs.

The match initially seemed like an easy win for KKR after the first inning, but the bowlers of PBKS, especially Yuzvendra Chahal (4/28) and Marco Jansen (3/17) completely turned things around!

PBKS bowled them out in 15.3 overs and sealed the victory. This became the lowest total ever defended in IPL.

Abhishek Sharma won hearts with his record-breaking knock of 141 runs off just 55 balls against PBKS in IPL 2025. He pulled a small note out of his pocket after reaching his century, with the message "This one is for Orange Army."

This gesture went viral and people talked about his dedication after knowing the fact that he was carrying the note for several games!

He also became the highest scoring Indian batsman in an innings in IPL history with this knock.

7. Kohli welcoming Bumrah with a 6!

In a highly charged match between RCB and MI, where Jasprit Bumrah returned to action for MI, making his comeback after injury layoff, an extraordinary drama took place. Virat Kohli welcomed Bumrah with a massive six on the very first ball bowled to him.

This instantly ignited the intensity of the game where we saw two legendary players going against each other.

8. MS Dhoni's vintage run-out vs LSG

MS Dhoni delivered a classic no-look flick run-out against Lucknow Super Giants in a match in IPL 2025. The LSG batter, Abdul Samad, was caught short by Dhoni's brilliance, where he swiftly and almost effortlessly flicked the ball to get him out.

This display of precision and speed with direct-hit was pure vintage Dhoni.

9. Shreyas Iyer's selfless 97* (PBKS vs GT)

Shreyas Iyer scored a commendable 97* off 42 balls against GT in their first match of IPL 2025. What made his knock memorable was his decision to prioritise the team over individual milestone.

Despite being just 3 runs away from a century, Iyer consciously allowed his batting partner, Shashank Singh, to continue batting and hitting boundaries.

Eventually, Iyer remained at the non-striker's end, sacrificing his hundred and being just happy for the team.

10. The Salt-David relay catch!

A spectacular moment in IPL 2025 saw Phil Salt and Tim David execute a breathtaking relay catch against MI. Salt leaped to take the catch, flicking the ball mid-air for David before crossing the boundary line.

This catch was taken during a crucial stage at the game, which left the fans stunned by their perfect sync and teamwork.
