In the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, vice-captain KL Rahul is leading the team, and under his captaincy, Indian team have won the first test match against Bangladesh by 188 runs.
Star opener batter Shubhman Gill performed exceptionally well in the second innings along with him veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara hit the fastest test century of his career.

He will continue his rehab and will not be available for the second and final Test against Bangladesh.
Navdeep Saini is also ruled out of the second Test owing to an abdominal muscle strain. The fast bowler will now report to the NCA for further injury management. Mohd.
