The second Test between India and Bangladesh will kickstart on December 22 (Thursday) at Dhaka. India are heading into this Test after a massive win in 1st Test at Chattogram. Bangladesh have a lot to catch up, especially in their batting lineup. The hosts were bowled out for just 150 in the first innings and even in the 2nd innings, take the scores of the openers away, they ran out of gas. The seniors in the team, the likes of Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim will need to step up and raise their game in the last Test to ensure India do not run away with the series and make a whitewash on them.
On the other hand, India despite win in the first Test could start the second match on back foot with KL Rahul not starting in the playing 11. Rahul got injured while doing the nets ahead of the match. Team India batting coach Vikram Rathour, who attended the pre-match press conference, said that Rahul looks fine and there is no big worry related to his fitness.
