It will be a tough task for Team India when they take on Bangladesh in the third and last ODI of the series at Chattogram. The Men In Blue are without their captain Rohit Sharma, who has been ruled out due to a thumb injury. The onus now falls on the likes of KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli to try and help the team win the last ODI to finish on a high but more importantly avoid a whitewash in the hands of Bangladesh, who have never ever inflicted a clean sweep on India across formats. Bangladesh will aim to do just that after wrapping up the series in Dhaka with a win in the 2nd ODI.

The Tigers are playing like one in this series. Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been their hero in this series, playing a superb knock in the 1st ODI to take Bangladesh past the winning mark and then in the 2nd ODI when chips were down, he scored a brilliant ton to take his side to a strong total. Bangladesh bowlers have also been in superb form of late with Shakib Al Hasan leading them with disciplined spin bowling. They ensure India batters are tightened and not given any scope to play freely.
In a nutshell, Bangladesh are playing the perfect game in their backyard. These are the conditions that they know and they are not just challenging but beating India now. The visitors are facing a crisis of players. With Mohammed Shami, Rohit Sharma, Deepak Chahar and Kuldeep Sen falling prey to different injuries, they are left with less options to play with. That is why it is important for the likes of Virat Kohli, Rahul and Dhawan to step up and show the path to the team and ensure they have a win in this series.
