We are in the mid-way stage of the sixth edition of the ICC World T20. The Pre-tournament favourites, India, hasn&#8217;t played up to the level which was expected before the World Cup. They are surprised by Kane Williamson&#8217;s New Zealand at Nagpur and the men in blue maintain their rich history against Pakistan due to ViratKohli&#8217;s magical touch. Now, they are up against Bangladesh, who are known for producing big upsets by defeating the top teams in World Cups. Here are the 5 struggling players in both the teams who are very eager to make an impact

He was cheaply dismissed in both the matches against New Zealand and Pakistan. Moreover, he is yet to open his account in the current tournament. This match will be very crucial for Raina to make his presence known, as consistent failures will lead to some big decisions by the captain and the team management, as we move towards the business end of the tournament.

He is not in his usual standards in both the games. The Delhi batsmen have been struggling with the movement of the pitch and the deliveries coming towards him. Against Pakistan, he was patchy at times and dispelled by some lazy footwork. The encounter against Bangladesh will be vital for Dhawan, as the presence of AjinkyaRahane looms large.

The Bangladeshi opener had a magnificent 2015 and he is one of the key reasons for the team&#8217;s historic home victory against Pakistan, India and South Africa. But, the left-hander has been scuffling to repeat the past heroics in 2016. He was completely shabby in both the innings against Pakistan and Australia. He will be keen to deliver against the host without any pressure in tomorrow&#8217;s match, as Bangladesh already lost their spot in the top 4.

The Bangladesh captain has been heavily criticized by Sunil Gavaskar, once the match against Aussies was over. He questions Mortaza&#8217;s place in the XI, as he bowled only one over and didn&#8217;t get a chance to bat. The former Indian opener adds that Mortaza needs to contribute in some way even though the leadership qualities won&#8217;t be enough for a player to succeed against the big teams.

Rohit is not so effective when it comes to big stages. He is completely a different batsman, and this is clearly conspicuous in the two matches he played. It&#8217;s time for the Mumbai right-hander to forget all the tussles, he had against New Zealand and Pakistan. The defeat against New Zealand have cost India&#8217;s net run rate hugely. His influence at the top of the order is highly required in handling the net run rate situations.
