India's Predicted Playing XI vs Bangladesh, 1st ODI: Will Rajat Patidar or Rahul Tripathi feature?

India vs Bangladesh: The likes of Rajat Patidar and Rahul Tripathi have come into the batting unit, but will any of them make the cut?

With an eye on building a quality squad for the 2023 ODI World Cup, the Indian cricket team begins a new journey in the ODI circuit.  The likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and other senior players return as the Indian team gears up for the Bangladesh challenge. Ahead of the first ODI, plenty has been said about team composition that India will opt for in the opening 50-over contest in Mirpur. The likes of Rajat Patidar and Rahul Tripathi have come into the batting unit, but will any of them make the cut?

Here's what we think should be India's playing XI for the 1st ODI against Bangladesh:

Shikhar Dhawan: With his appearances in the Indian team now only limited to the 50-over format, Shikhar Dhawan is a certain starter for Team India in the format.

Rohit Sharma: The skipper returns after the T20 World Cup heartbreak. He would be keen to put the disappointment behind and start afresh in the ODI format, with next year's World Cup being the ultimate aim.

Virat Kohli: There's not even a debate around Kohli's position in the team. Having regained form in the Asia Cup this year, the talismanic batter would be keen to translate his form into the 50-over format.
