Shere Bangla Stadium, Dhaka.

Team India will eye on a clean sweep and maintain their unbeaten record against hosts Bangladesh in the format, as they are set to take them on in the second and last Test match of the series, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka today.

However, it seems like the list of Indian players getting injured keeps on getting longer with each passing day. After regular skipper Rohit Sharma and pacer Navdeep Saini were ruled out from the imminent second Test due to injuries, stand-in skipper for the series KL Rahul picked up a hand injury during practice. However, batting coach Vikram Rathour has assured that he will be fine before the Test commences.
