The second match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is being played in Dhaka today. In this match, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat first. Indian team defeated Bangladesh by 188 runs in the first match. In this situation, the enthusiasm of the Indian team is very high. The Indian team has taken a very shocking decision for today's match. Kuldeep Yadav, who was the hero of the victory in the Chittagong Test match, has been dropped from this match. Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav took eight wickets in the Chittagong Test match and was also the 'Player of the Match'. In place of Kuldeep Yadav, fast bowler Jaydev Undkat has got a chance in the playing-11.

KL Rahul's statement about Kuldeep
KL Rahul said, We wanted to bat first. Just need to play good cricket. Need to bowl well in the first innings. There is some moisture in the wicket and we need to take quick wickets. We have made one change, replacing Kuldeep with Jaydev. The decision to keep Kuldeep out is unfortunate, but it is an opportunity for Undakat.
