New Delhi: Bangladesh team would be eyeing to a make strong comeback in the T20I series against India after a 0-2 thrashing in the recently-concluded Test series. Coming victorious from the Pakistan Test tour, where they thrashed the hosts 2-0 in the Test series, the Bangla Tigers were hopeful that they would be able to repeat the show in the India tour but it proved otherwise.

The Rohit Sharma-led side proved to be too hot for the visitors as they thrashed them in both the Test matches at Chennai and Kanpur to register a dominant series sweep. Now that the 3-match T20I series is just a couple of days away from start, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto has promised that the series would be nothing short of blockbuster action as the Bangla Tigers’ new-look team will play with a different strategy.

What’s the new approach?

Shanto has promised that the Bangladesh team will adopt a fresh approach, which will be of playing a aggressive brand of cricket in the upcoming T20I series against India. The Bangladesh captain also said that the Test series is now behind them and they want to move forward with a new approach.

The Twenty20 series will begin in Gwalior on Sunday at the brand new Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium.

“We are looking to win this series, to be very honest. We want to play aggressive cricket. If you look at our last World Cup, we had a very good opportunity to play in the semi-finals but we couldn’t do that. But, it’s a new team. So, I hope all the players will play some good cricket here,” Shanto told reporters.

The skipper said he won’t think about his team’s struggle in the Test series.

“We all know we didn’t play our best cricket (in Tests). So, we are not thinking about what we have done before. Going forward, it’s a very important series for us and we all know in T20 it’s a totally different ball game. That particular day, those who are playing well, will win the match,” he added.

India will have an entirely new squad, led by Suryakumar Yadav while Bangladesh will have only five players in their T20 squad who were also part of the Test squad.
