India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: India blanked Bangladesh 2-0 in the Test series and are now looking to do the same in the three-match T20I rubber, the first of which will be played in Gwalior today. Among the many talking points is the potential international debut of the exciting young fast bowler Mayank Yadav.
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav started his time as India's T20I captain with a comprehensive series win against Sri Lanka at the latter's home. That was a team featuring a number of young India stars with many of the regulars either rested or, as was the case with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, retired. It is the same in Suryakumar's second series as skipper in the shortest format as India host Bangladesh for a three-match T20I series....Read More
Arguably the most exciting of the young guns who could feature today will be Mayank Yadav. The 22-year-old took the Indian Premier League (IPL) by storm last year but injuries cut short his number of appearances for Lucknow Super Giants to just four. In those four games, he took seven wickets at an average of 12.14 and an economy of 6.99.
Suryakumar did not face Mayank in the nets but said that he was as impressed as everyong else with the youngster. “The series is a good chance for the youngsters. Mayank has that x factor and others as well. I have not played in my nets thus far. But have seen his potential and the impact he can make,” said the skipper. "Need to manage him properly. There is a lot of cricket going on both international and domestic circuit. He is a good addition to the Indian team.”
Another factor to look forward will be how an opening combination of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma works out for the team. With Yashasvi Jaiswal pretty much cementing himself at the top of the order and Shubman Gill being arguably ahead of everyong else as well, Samson and Abhishek would be looking to make a good case of themselves now that both players have been rested for this series.
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: The Sanju Samson conundrum
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: He is probably an all-time great in the IPL now and there can be no doubting his talent. And yet, Sanju Samson hasn't had too much luck in international cricket. Samson made his debut all the way back in 2015 and in the nine years since, he has played 30 T20Is and 16 ODIs. Samson is a regular in the Ranji Trophy and yet, has never come close to making his Test debut. He is the subject of many conspiracy theories whenever he gets dropped, particularly fuelled by Malayalis, especially with a precious few cricketers from Kerala actually managing to play international cricket over the years. However, a look at Samson's numbers tells you a story of a player who has in fact been picked simply because of burgeoning talent and not because of his records. In his nine-year career in international cricket, Samson has scored 444 runs in 30 T20Is at an underwhelming average of 19.30.
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: The importance of this series
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: Just from a cricketing perspective, this series might feel like a non-event, unlike the Test series that preceded it. There is no T20 World Cup anywhere in the vicinity and this is why India have chosen to rest almost half of their T20 regulars. However, it is series like these that all those stars who shine in the IPL and domestic cricket get to show what they can do in international cricket. A number of stars have come up over the years after playing a series like this one. For the likes of Harshit Rana, Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Yadav and Nitish Kumar Reddy, this series is as important as any they have ever played or will play in their careers.
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: India's T20I run
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: India are the reigning T20 World Cup champions and they have a recent record that does justice to that tag. They have won 18 of the 19 T20Is in 2024 (including two Super Over wins) and are currently on a seven-match winning streak
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: Shivam Dube ruled out
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: The big-hitting all-rounder sustained a back injury after India's final practice session in Gwalior. This means that Nitish Kumar Reddy could make his debut today.
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: Mayank Yadav before this match
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: Reports suggest that Harshit Rana could be making his international debut as Mayank didn't train much in the lead up to this match. Suryakumar Yadav did mention the importance of managing Mayank, maybe the management still doesn't think he is ready.
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: To Mayank or not to Mayank…
India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: That Mayank Yadav could be India's next big world beating paceman is without a doubt. Whether he can be that or not is entirely dependent on whether he can put his injury problems to bed and as to how well he will be managed. There is the example of Australia captain Pat Cummins out there, with the pace superstar not playing more than a single Test match for the first six years of his career in order to deal with his brittle body. We now know just how much of a workhorse he is in the format, having hardly missed any Test match in the last seven years. Whether India would be looking to get Mayank into international cricket with this series or not remains to be seen.

India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: Hello and welcome!
