India will be kicking-off the 2024-25 season of cricket with the first of two matches in a Test series against Bangladesh at home. During the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, India have played exceptionally well in the longest format of the game, winning their last series at home against England 4-1 in March of this year.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh have arrived in India after beating Pakistan for the first-time ever in Test cricket, winning the series 2-0 in Rawalpindi earlier this month. With that, Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team will be quietly confident about upstaging a very accomplished Indian cricket team in their own den for the first-time in the longest format of the game.
Rohit Sharma will continue to lead India in the Test format, aiming to take them to their third consecutive World Test Championship (WTC) final next year. The quality of players on both the sides is quite stark, which is why the fans can expect India to defeat Bangladesh comfortably in the upcoming first Test.
