Team India have touched down in Delhi ahead of their much-anticipated second T20I against Bangladesh, set to take place on October 9 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Indian squad, fresh from their dominant win in the opening T20I in Gwalior, is eager to continue their strong form as they look to seal the series.
India’s dominating start in the T20I series
The Men in Blue began their T20I campaign in style with a convincing win in the first match held at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. India introduced two new talents—pace bowler Mayank Yadav and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy—who made their international debuts, adding depth to the squad.
Notably, India are without several of their regular T20 stars such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Jasprit Bumrah, all of whom are being rested to focus on the ongoing Test season.
Eventful journey from Gwalior to Delhi
The team’s flight from Gwalior to Delhi was filled with excitement. Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel was seen engrossed in his work, scribbling notes in his diary, and playfully hiding them when caught on camera. Head Coach Gautam Gambhir and players such as Riyan Parag, Tilak Verma and Sanju Samson were all smiles as they received a grand reception upon arriving in Delhi.
