Rishabh Pant: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the Indian team's squad for the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh. Some young players have also been included in this team.

However, with the announcement of Team India, the picture of India's playing eleven has also become clear and some big names may be shown the way out. This includes the names of wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill.

Rishabh Pant may be out

As soon as Team India arrived, India's playing eleven was announced for the first test, Rishabh Pant out, Gill also out 1

Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant was away from cricket for almost one and a half years due to a terrible car accident but now he has made a comeback. Although he has been selected in the Test team for the first time after the injury, he may be shown the way out.

Pant may hardly get a chance to play in the first Test match and young player Dhruv Jurel may get a chance in his place. Jurel performed brilliantly against England in his last series and was also excellent behind the wicket and for this reason he may be given a chance.

Shubman Gill can also be dropped

There is a lot of talk about the talent of India's young batsman Shubman Gill, but he has not been able to do justice to his talent so far. Gill may be dropped from the playing eleven in the first match against Bangladesh.

Shubman has not done anything special in the Duleep Trophy 2024 and for this reason he can be shown the way out.

Not only this, the right-handed batsman has an average of 35 in Test cricket. In such a situation, KL Rahul can be given a chance at number 3 in place of Gill and he can be seen playing in the playing XI.

Gill has been struggling with his poor form for some time now and he has not played any big innings for Team India recently. Apart from this, his performance in IPL 2024 was not very special. In such a situation, now captain Rohit can drop him from the final eleven.

India's probable playing 11 for the first test match

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
