- Mehidy Hasan Miraz (BAN): Mehidy’s recent form has been exceptional, and the conditions at Green Park should suit his style perfectly. Against India, he has taken 17 wickets and scored 223 runs in six Tests at an average of 20.27. Fresh off being the leading wicket-taker against Pakistan with 10 wickets in two games, Mehidy continued his form in the 1st Test, picking up three crucial wickets and scoring a gritty 35 in a tough situation.
- Rohit Sharma (IND): Despite having a low average of 8.80 against Bangladesh in Tests, Rohit’s record at this venue is impressive, having scored 103 runs in just one match. Given his batting prowess, he is a strong contender for a big innings.
- Ravindra Jadeja (IND): Jadeja’s all-round abilities make him a crucial asset in any conditions. His record against Bangladesh is solid, with 234 runs and 11 wickets in four matches.
