India VS Bangladesh T20I Series: The 3-match T20 series between India and Bangladesh is scheduled to start from October 6. Suryakumar Yadav is in charge of the team and for this series, along with the selectors and head coach, he has built a team around the emerging players of IPL.
India’s squad for 3 T20 matches against Bangladesh:
Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakraborty, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav.
Varun Chakraborty returns to the team
Kolkata Knight Riders’ mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty has returned to the Indian team after a gap of almost three years. He made his international debut on the Sri Lanka tour in 2021 and was selected in the T20 World Cup squad later that year replacing Yuzvendra Chahal, where he failed to impress.
However, after consistently sensational seasons in the IPL, where he took 20 wickets in 14 matches in 2023 and 21 wickets in 15 matches in 2024, Chakravarthy has regained his place in the team.

After the T20 World Cup tournament this year, in the month of July, Team India visited Zimbabwe for the T20 series under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. Even after performing well in IPL for 2 consecutive years, Varun Chakraborty was not selected in the team, due to which he was disappointed and posted an Instagram story which is now going viral again.
Soon after BCCI announced the squad for the Zimbabwe tour, Chakraborty wrote on Instagram Story-
“I wish I had hired a paid PR agency (paid a PR team to market myself).”
What he meant to say was that if he had spent money on marketing himself, he would have been in the limelight and would have got a place in the team.
