India are all set to challenge Bangladesh for a multi-format tour on the latter’s turf. The Men in Blue will kickstart their campaign with ODIs on December 4 and the action will move to the longest format of the game from December 14.&nbsp;

For the white-ball assignment, India have selected a well-rounded squad with a nice blend of youth and experience. The senior trio of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-is-going-to-be-even-more-dangerous-if-he-strikes-form-wasim-jaffer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> will don the India jersey for the first time since the semi-final loss to England at the T20 World Cup 2022.&nbsp;

With the 50-overs World Cup scheduled next year, there are some players who will be looking to set the stage ablaze with their performances and make a case for their selection in the national team. Also, certain star players would take the upcoming series as an opportunity to get back into the groove.

Here are the 5 Indian players to watch out for in the ODI series against Bangladesh:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/indian-all-rounder-axar-patel-joins-team-rario/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axar Patel</a> has been India’s go-to man to fill the spin-bowling all-rounder void whenever Ravindra Jadeja has been unavailable. As Jadeja was sidelined from the T20 World Cup 2022 due to a knee injury, the team management slotted in Axar in his place. However, he was all at sea in the T20 carnival in Australia.&nbsp;

The Gujarat-born featured in five matches at the global tournament and could manage only three wickets conceding runs at an economy of 8.62. He failed to have an impact with the bat as well and scored mere nine runs in those outings. Axar has been picked for the ODI series against Bangladesh and he will have a chance to revive his all-round credentials in limited-overs cricket.&nbsp;

Axar has been quite sensational in the 50-over format. He has bagged 53 scalps in 44 games at an economy of 4.40 and also scored 273 runs at a strike rate of 106.22. Also, in his last ODI series which was against Zimbabwe, the ace all-rounder was phenomenal with the ball picking six wickets in three games at an economy of 3.02. The left-arm spinner would hope he carries on the good work in this format. However, if he fails to do so, his place in the team could be in jeopardy.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/havent-performed-the-way-i-wanted-to-mohammad-siraj-aims-a-turnaround-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammed Siraj</a> has been a proven performer for India across formats. Test cricket has been his strongest suit in the international circuit where he has bagged 40 scalps in 14 games at an average of 30.77. However, in this calendar year, the 28-year-old has shown his bowling prowess in the white-ball circuit too.

In the T20Is, the ace seamer has picked seven wickets in four games at an outstanding economy of 6.68. When it comes to the 50-overs format, Siraj has picked 18 wickets in just 12 games at an economy of 4.45. The Hyderabad-born has been terrific with the ball, be it at the powerplay, middle-overs, or death.&nbsp;

Courtesy of Siraj’s consistent showings, he has been picked for the ODI series against Bangladesh. The right-arm fast bowler has a golden opportunity to put on yet another show with the ball and became a regular feature in the Indian white-ball setup going forward.

He has featured in 35 ODIs and notched up 1379 runs at a strike rate of 98.85. Talking about the shortest format, he has scored 1043 runs in 49 matches at a strike rate of 135.98.

The 27-year-old has been in a rich vein of form in the 50-overs format of late. When India faced South Africa for a three-match ODI series, he smashed 191 runs at a strike rate of 111.69. Also, in the first match of the ongoing 50-overs leg against New Zealand, Iyer played a sensational knock of 80 runs off 76 deliveries to help India post a competitive total of 306 on the board.

The elegant batter has made the most of the chances he has got so far and he will look to do the same at the upcoming Bangladesh tour. With the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson breathing down Iyer’s neck his good run with the bat against the Bangla Tigers might put him higher in the pecking order for the middle-order role in India’s full-strength ODI team.

2. KL Rahul&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/in-words-and-actions-we-have-shown-full-support-for-kl-rahul-india-head-coach-rahul-dravid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rahul</a> was nowhere close to his best in the T20 extravaganza in Australia. Though the 30-year-old struck half-centuries against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, he failed to get going against the top-ranked teams. And also, his batting approach was in question more often than not. Therefore, when the flamboyant batter takes the field in Bangladesh, all eyes will be pinned on him.

In Rahul’s last ODI assignment, against Zimbabwe, he batted at the opening slot and was quite mediocre with the bat scoring 31 runs in three matches. However, with the veteran duo of Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan in the mix for the Bangladesh tour, the Bangalore-born will be pushed down to the middle order.

The ace batter has fared well in 17 ODIs he has batted in the middle order and scored 673 runs at a decent strike rate. However, with form not at Rahul’s side, it will be interesting to see how he aces this challenge. With the 50-overs World Cup next year, the Men in Blue have many quality batters such as Iyer, Suryakumar, and Samson to challenge the Indian vice-captain for the middle-order role and it will crucial for him to strike form soon.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/rohit-sharma-should-be-spending-more-time-with-team-he-looked-depressed-and-off-during-t20-world-cup-shoaib-akhtar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit</a> has been one of the greatest white-ball cricketers India has produced. In ODIs, the veteran batter has amassed 9376 runs in 233 games at a strike rate of 89.18. When it comes to the shortest format, he has accumulated 3853 runs in 148 matches at a strike rate of 139.24.

However, the 35-year-old was far from his vintage self in the T20 World Cup 2022 and could manage mere 116 runs in six games at a strike rate of 106.42. The ace batter would like to vindicate himself when India take the stage alongside Bangladesh and show the cricket fraternity why he is regarded as one of the best in business.

Though Rohit has not played ODI cricket consistently this calendar year, the Indian skipper has done a decent job in the games he has featured in. The elegant batter has played six matches in the 50-over format and scored 171 runs at an average of 34.20 and a strike rate of 107.54. The Nagpur-born has all the experience in the world to thrive in Bangladesh and the team management would hope their star batter finds his mojo back.
