Can't wait for this series! Bangladesh have been improving so much in recent years. Hope we can avenge that 2022 ODI loss. The Mirpur stadium always produces exciting matches. 🇮🇳🏏

As a Bangladeshi fan, I'm excited but also nervous. Our team needs to work on consistency. The last T20I series was disappointing, but home advantage might help this time!

While I'm excited for the cricket, I wish they'd schedule more matches in Chattogram. Mirpur gets all the big games - would be nice to spread the love to other venues too.

The rivalry between these teams has become so intense! Remember that last over thriller in 2022? Hope we get more matches like that. Shakib vs Kohli is always special to watch 🤩

Good to see India touring Bangladesh regularly. These bilateral series help grow cricket in the region. Hope the weather cooperates in August - monsoon can be tricky that time of year.
