India vs Bangladesh, 1st ODI: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Having lost the rain-affected three-match ODI series in New Zealand by a 1-0 margin, Team India will be keen to return to winning ways in the 50-over rubber in Bangladesh. Unlike in the series against the Kiwis, the Men in Blue have a full-strength squad, with skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul all back in the playing XI.

India’s bowling, though, remains relatively inexperienced. Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are not part of the squad, while Mohammed Shami was ruled out just ahead of the series and has been replaced by Umran Malik. Apart from Umran, the visitors will depend on Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Sen in the pace bowling department.

Experienced batter Litton Das has been given the responsibility of leading Bangladesh after Tamim Iqbal was ruled out of the series due to a groin injury. Taskin Ahmed is also not available for the first ODI due to a back issue. The hosts would thus bank on Mustafizur Rahman, who has tasted success against India in the past, to deliver the goods.

According to Anjum Chopra, it's a hard surface, which is going to be a batting paradise. There is just a bit of grass cover, more to hold it together but the new ball should do its bit.
