India and Bangladesh are set to lock horns in a three-match T20 International series, beginning on Sunday in Gwalior. The hosts enter the series riding high on confidence after a commanding 2-0 victory in the Test series and will be eager to maintain their momentum in the shortest format of the game.
India has historically dominated Bangladesh in T20Is, boasting a remarkable record of 13 wins in 14 matches. The last time these two teams met was at the T20 World Cup earlier this year, where India emerged victorious by a convincing margin of 50 runs. However, a new chapter has begun for India’s T20 team as Rohit Sharma, the captain during the World Cup triumph, has stepped down from the format. The leadership mantle now falls on the shoulders of Suryakumar Yadav, who will be keen to lead his team to success.
Ahead of the first T20I, let’s take a look at the head-to-head stats and numbers that paint a picture of the rivalry between these two cricketing nations.
