India will look to carry their momentum from the South Africa Test series into Bangladesh T20I series that starts tonight. The first of three T20Is will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. 

India's recent performance in this format has been average as they won only one of the last four T20I series and this is a very important series for them keeping an eye on T20 World Cup which is just 12 months away. And the preparation for this tournament has already begun as they are rotating their squad and trying new players.

Shivam Dube got his maiden call up while Sanju Samson, Shardul Thakur, and Yuzvendra Chahal are making their comebacks. In the absence of captain Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan will have to lead from the front in the batting department while in bowling Deepak Chahar, Krunal Pandya and Yuzvendra Chahal will take the main responsibility. 

On the other hand, Bangladesh is without their top two players Shakib al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal and it's going to be a tough task for them to challenge this Indian side in their absence. Though they still have some good players in this format and can surprise anyone.
