Wed Sep 18 11:53:32 UTC 2024: ## Bangladesh Set To Challenge India In Upcoming Test Series

**New Delhi:** While Bangladesh may not be a traditional threat to India in Test cricket, their recent 2-0 series victory over Pakistan has raised eyebrows and expectations for the upcoming series against India.

Despite never winning against India in 13 Test encounters, Bangladesh is eager to challenge the hosts who haven’t lost a Test series at home since 2012.

Several Bangladeshi players have emerged as potential threats for India:

* **Nahid Rana:** The young pace bowler, known for his speeds exceeding 150 kph, has shown his potential by taking five wickets in his debut series against West Indies. He poses a significant threat with his raw pace, especially on the bouncy Chennai surface.
* **Mehidy Hasan:** The all-rounder has established himself as a force in Test cricket with 1,625 runs and 174 wickets in 45 matches. He is a key player for Bangladesh, both with the bat and ball, having already claimed 11 wickets in two tests against Pakistan.
* **Mushfiqur Rahim:** A veteran player and a Bangladesh legend, Rahim’s 191-run knock in the first Test against Pakistan was instrumental in their series victory. He is a key batter for Bangladesh and could pose a serious challenge to India’s bowlers.

This series promises to be a close contest, with Bangladesh looking to finally overcome their Indian challenge.
