IND vs Ban T20I: Captain Najmul Hossain Sends Warning To Suryakumar Yadav’s Team India

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto launched the campaign for IND vs Ban T20I by making a gutsy declaration. The Bangladeshi Tigers will assume an aggressive style of play in a bid to recover from defeat in their recent Test series. As the three-match  T20I series prepares for kick-start on Sunday at the brand-new Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior, the Bangladeshi skipper is keen to turn around his team’s fortunes in the shortest format of the game.

This series also provides the Bangladesh team with a new beginning and a perfect opportunity to take on an Indian side that is filled with young energetic talent. Both teams have opted for a new-look squad sans one or two key players and giving a platform to younger talents to shine. 

“We are looking to win the IND vs Ban T20I series, to be very honest,” an assured Shanto said during a pre-series press conference. “We aim to rubber ball about an inflamed kind of cricket. We’ve just managed to get rid of the defender’s static target filtering method, and the largely predetermined half-final game. But, it’s a new team. So, I hope all the players will play some good cricket here.”

A Fresh Start After a Tough Test Series

The recent performances of Bangladesh in Test cricket have been less than ideal. The series loss to India compounded their woes. However, Shanto made a point to indicate that his team is not dwelling on the past, especially regarding the contrasting nature of T20 cricket.

“We all know we didn’t play our best cricket, so we are not thinking about what we have done before,” Shanto explained. “Going forward, it’s a very important series for us and we all know that in T20, it’s a different ball game. That particular day, those who are playing well will win the match.”

Both teams will be stepping into alien turf at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, a new venue that gets to stage its first international match. Shanto said the Bangladesh squad does not have a fair idea about how the pitch would behave but asserted that they have had extensive practice sessions to acclimatize themselves to the conditions.

“We know this is a very different ground, new ground, and we don’t have much idea about the wickets. But, we had practice sessions the last couple of days, and we tried to find out how the wickets behave,” Shanto said.

That will add to the guessing game in surface performance since this is going to be a completely new venue. Be as it may, come the day of the contest, both teams will have no option but to get used to whatever greets their eyes.

For Shanto in particular, the trick, the course of action was typically an aggressive brand of event which in almost all cases gave authentic results in the format. Shanto likely expects his players to take command and be the protagonists in the batting and bowling departments, and anxiety aimed at the opposition will feature. 

“In T20Is, you never know. It’s all about that on a particular day whether batting, bowling, or fielding, that team will win, whoever is doing all that stuff well. But big names or new players or old players, it’s not about that. So, it’s about on that particular day, we need to play well.

That’s a far cry from the conservative approach he has exhibited in the Test series. With an assurance of fearless cricket, it will be upon the young players of Bangladesh to make that count and take the attack to India.

India’s Fresh Faces

However, India’s team, particularly the Indian National Cricket Team, will also get its first outing during the captaincy of T20 cricket specialist Suryakumar Yadav, and they will also opt for rather new and inexperienced players. With his innovative batting and calm leadership, Suryakumar will be all guns blazing to lead from the front as India continues to experiment in their T20 lineup going forward into more tournaments.

Whereas Bangladesh will come with a side retaining only five players from the Test series, this blend of youth and experience could be the deciding factor as Shanto plots to lift his side for an upset win against formidable neighbors.

The Road Ahead

Despite the golden era that the T20 format provides for Bangladesh to change its fortunes in quick time, the real test that will come to them will be how adaptable they can be while being aggressive at the same time. On the other side, such situations may demand barring the good from the best even if one were to bring their selves to endure liberal self-expression, individual talent, and teamwork to outshine India being the primary agenda for any India-Bangladesh series.
