India is set to host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series starting September 19, 2024. This series is shaping up to be an intriguing contest, with both teams featuring a blend of seasoned veterans and emerging talents eager to make an impact. As the cricketing world watches closely, several players stand out as potential game-changers. Yashasvi Jaiswal, with his explosive batting, and Litton Das, fresh off a record-breaking performance, are sure to draw attention. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant's return adds excitement, while the all-round brilliance of Ravindra Jadeja and the spin threat of Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be pivotal. These players are poised to play key roles in what promises to be a captivating series.
1. YASHASVI JAISWAL: THE RISING STAR
Yashasvi Jaiswal has quickly become one of the most talked-about young talents in world cricket. The 21-year-old opener has already made a significant impact in his short Test career, playing nine matches and amassing 1,028 runs. With an average of 68.5, including four centuries and two half-centuries, Jaiswal has shown that he is more than capable of handling the pressures of international cricket. Jaiswal's technique is sound, and his temperament is impressive for someone so young. His ability to build innings and accelerate when needed makes him a key player for India at the top of the order. The world has taken note of his potential, and this series against Bangladesh could be another stepping stone in his burgeoning career. With pitches in India expected to be batting-friendly, Jaiswal could have another prolific series and further solidify his place in the Indian Test side.
2. LITTON DAS: THE LATE BLOOMER
