A three-match T20I series between the Indian men's cricket team and Bangladesh is scheduled to begin on Sunday, October 6, at Gwalior. The second T20 International match is set to take place on October 6 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, while the final game is slated to take place on October 12 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. In the shortest format series, India will be captained by Suryakumar Yadav, with ace all-rounder Hardik Pandya also included in the roster of fifteen players.]
Hardik eyes big record
Hardik, who has taken 86 wickets in 102 outings so far, will have an opportunity to set several bowling records during the three-match T20I series. The 30-year-old cricketer would surpass Bhuvneshwar Kumar's record of 90 wickets and become India's most successful pacer in T20 Internationals if he can dismiss at least five batters during the series.
Pandya has faced Bangladesh in five T20Is so far, and in those five games, he has taken 6 wickets. He will become the most successful bowler in T20I matches between Bangladesh and India if he takes at least four wickets in the next three matches.

Yuzvendra Chahal currently holds the record for most wickets taken in T20I matches between Bangladesh and India. In six games thus far, the 34-year-old spinner—who last played for India on August 13, 2023—has struck out nine hitters from Bangladesh.

Arshdeep Singh is also expected to become the top wicket-taker in the T20Is between Bangladesh and India. The left-arm pacer, who concluded as the T20 World Cup 2024's joint top wicket-taker—has removed five batters from Bangladesh in three games. With the help of Mayank Yadav and Harshit Rana, he is ready to spearhead India's pace attack. Despite becoming well-known during the IPL 2024, Mayank and Harshit have not yet participated in any games for the Men in Blue.
