Analysis:
After a disappointing ODI series defeat, the Indian team hopes to register some wins as this series will be part of the World Test Championship. But ahead of the Test, India will be without many stars like captain Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami, who have been ruled out due to injuries. But this will be a golden opportunity for upcoming talents like Shubman Gill and Saurabh Kumar to consolidate their spot in the team.
Whereas the Bangladesh team will hope to continue their winning run in the Test series as well. Captain Shakib Al Hasan would hope to make a big mark in this series as he could be a long-term captain for the Tigers. For this series, Bangladesh will have some experienced talent like Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das which could create problems for a young Indian team. All-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz would also hold the spotlight after a brilliant performance in the white-ball series.
