IND vs BAN: The Indian cricket team is fully prepared to kick off its campaign in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This prestigious tournament will begin on February 19 in Karachi, but the Indian team will play its first match against Bangladesh on February 20 in Dubai. Considering Team India's strong lineup, this match is expected to be one-sided, but Bangladesh will also put in its best effort to secure a win.

Shami to Shoulder the Bowling Responsibility in Bumrah's Absence

India will be without the services of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah in this tournament, who is regarded as a crucial part of the Indian bowling attack. In his absence, the bowling responsibility will primarily rest on the shoulders of Mohammed Shami, who has recently made a comeback to international cricket.

After a long break of 14 months, Shami returned to action in the T20I series against England. However, his bowling has not yet displayed the sharpness he is known for. Nevertheless, his experience could help put the team in a strong position in the first match against Bangladesh.

Shami Has a Chance to Make History

Mohammed Shami has a golden opportunity to register a major record in this match against Bangladesh. If he manages to take four wickets, he will become the third-highest wicket-taker for India in ODIs against Bangladesh.

Currently, Sachin Tendulkar, Jasprit Bumrah, and Zaheer Khan share the third spot with 12 wickets each. Ajit Agarkar and Ravindra Jadeja hold the first and second positions with 16 and 14 wickets, respectively.
