This player can become a threat for Team India in the IND vs BAN series, has a dangerous record against India

IND vs BAN: The 2-match Test series between India and Bangladesh will begin on September 19. The first Test match will be played in Chennai and then the second Test match will be played at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. In this series, the Indian team would not want to make the mistake of taking the visiting team lightly because recently Bangladesh created history by defeating Pakistan 2-0 in the Test series in its own home. Experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim played an important role in Bangladesh’s historic victory on this tour. Rahim played a brilliant innings of 191 runs in the first Test against Pakistan and gave his team a big victory by 10 wickets.

A big threat for India

After winning the Pakistan series, Bangladesh is now ready to play a Test series against host India. In this series, all eyes will once again be on Mushfiqur Rahim, whose performance against India is quite spectacular. Rahim has played 8 Test matches against India, in which he has scored 604 runs in 15 innings at an impressive average of 43.14. In this, he has scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries. Not only this, his performance on Indian soil is also amazing. He has played 3 Test matches in India and has scored 331 runs in 6 innings at an average of 55.16. During this, he has scored 1 century and 2 half-centuries. 127 runs is his best score.

Mushfiqur Rahim is a middle-order batsman and once he settles down at the crease, it becomes difficult for any bowler to dismiss him. Statistics also testify to this. We have seen this in the Test series against Pakistan. In the Test played in Rawalpindi, it became difficult for the Pakistani bowlers to dismiss Rahim. This is the reason why India will have to be careful of this batsman.
