The Indian cricket team arrived in Hyderabad on Thursday evening, gearing up for the final T20I against Bangladesh at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal. With a 2-0 lead in the series, India will be looking to continue their dominant form and secure a clean sweep against their neighbours.
The Men in Blue have opted for a youthful squad in this series, led by the dynamic Suryakumar Yadav. Several new faces, including Mayank Yadav and Nitish Reddy, have been given the opportunity to showcase their talent on the international stage.
The previous match in New Delhi saw a breakout performance from 21-year-old Nitish Reddy. The all-rounder smashed a blistering 74 runs off just 34 balls and followed it up with impressive bowling figures of 2/23. Mayank Yadav, another debutant, has also impressed with his raw pace, consistently clocking speeds in the high 140s and picking up two wickets in the series so far.
Senior players like Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh have lived up to their billing. Pandya has been in scintillating form with the bat, amassing 71 runs in two matches from the middle order. Arshdeep, on the other hand, has been a consistent threat with the ball, claiming four wickets in the series.
The only concern for India has been the lacklustre form of their opening pair. Both Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have failed to convert their starts into substantial scores. The duo will be eager to address this issue in the final T20I and provide a solid foundation for the team.

For the visitors, it will be crucial that they come together as a unit to take on the high-quality Indian unit who have firepower in all three departments. It all comes down to performing on the day and the skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto would have to gather up his troops in order to save face and end their Indian tour on a positive note.
