New Delhi: The World T20 champion Indian cricket team will take the field for a three-match T20 series against Bangladesh from Sunday. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, India defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the two-match Test series. After this, the responsibility of maintaining this momentum will now be on the team led by Suryakumar Yadav. India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be seen playing for the team for the first time after the T20 series against Sri Lanka in August.
