The Indian cricket team is in Bangladesh for a two-match Test series where the visitor has secured a 1-0 lead against the host and will look to clean sweep the series which will boost their chances of making it into the final of the World Test Championships.
In Rohit Sharma's absence, Rahul also serves as India's captain. Rohit Sharma was unable to play in the Dhaka Test due to a thumb injury he sustained during the ODI series that came before the Tests, and he missed the opening Test in Chattogram as well.
