In the absence of Virat Kohli, the batting will depend mainly on the experience duo of Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan to not only give the team a solid start but also make sure they carry on through the innings, as the team lacks experience in the middle-order.
The Indian batting coach said on Friday that the series will provide the team with an opportunity to try out different combinations. But, one thing which this team will like to focus the most will be to improve their batting while setting up a total – something which even Kohli wants his boys to work upon.
“This Bangladesh team is very good. They have put us under a lot of pressure in the past. So we are not treating them any differently and will look to focus on our game,” Rohit said while assuring zero complacency from the hosts.
