Bangladesh’s whitewash over Pakistan will make Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma think more about their approach for the upcoming Test series. Bangladesh will next come to India for a two-match Test series against India. Bangladesh will be a tricky opponent. Here, we take a look at the list of three takeaways for India after Bangladesh’s whitewash over Pakistan.
1) Have a balanced approach to the game
Having a balanced approach to the game is one of the takeaways for India after Bangladesh’s whitewash over Pakistan. Gautam Gambhir has already tried too much in his first tour as the Head Coach of Team India. He must be a bit balanced against Sri Lanka.
When it comes to both the playing XI and the tactics, India should play a bit safe while also ensuring that they win the game. India has the players who can make that possible.
2) Don’t make extreme tracks
In the past, as well, India has made the mistake of having extremes of tracks. They should avoid this against Bangladesh. If the tracks assist spinners too much, even the Indian batters could have a difficult time because there are some fine spinners in Bangladesh.
On the other hand, if the track is too flat, India will miss out on not getting the best of highly skilled bowlers such as R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah. Hence, there must be balance here.
3) Avoid too many experiments
Ideally, India would have liked to give a debut for Arshdeep Singh. However, considering the opponent is in good touch, India might have another thought about this move.
The management could even go to the extent of having Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj be a part of the playing XI. If Mohammed Shami is there, even he could be tried out by the coach and the captain.
