    Digital Desk: Team India is set to face Bangladesh for a 2-match Test series after an entertaining ODI series in which the Men in Blue lost 2-1. Despite losing the series, the performances of Indian players, particularly Virat Kohli, will give Indian fans plenty of hope for the Test series.


    In the absence of the injured Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul will lead India, but the responsibility will be on seasoned players like Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara to keep India's hopes of reaching the World Test Championship final in 2021-23.


    The Indian team must win both games against Bangladesh, and given their track record against Shakib Al Hasan's players in this format, Rahul and Co would be eager to complete a clean sweep.
