Bangladesh won the toss and sent India to bat first in the opening match of the three-match one-day international series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday (December 4). 

They, however, suffered a double blow before the series as their ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal was ruled out of the series after suffering a groin injury while in-form pacer Taskin Ahmed was rested for the first game after he complained of a back injury.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das is leading the side in the ODI series in the absence of Tamim.

India also suffered an injury blow on Saturday as fast bowler Mohammed Shami was ruled out of the ODI series with an injured shoulder.

India have a lifetime 30-5 lead over the hosts in 50-overs matches but lost their last series tour of Bangladesh 2-1 in 2015.

Bangladesh: 1 Litton Das (capt), 2 Anamul Haque, 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto, 4 Shakib Al Hasan, 5 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Afif Hossain, 8 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 9 Hasan Mahmud, 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Ebadot Hossain

India: 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 KL Rahul (wk), 6 Washington Sundar, 7 Shahbaz Ahmed, 8 Shardul Thakur, 9 Deepak Chahar, 10 Mohammed Siraj, 11 Kuldeep Sen
