CHATTOGRAM: In the final ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS) in Chattogram on Saturday, Bangladesh won the toss for the third time in as many games and elected to bowl first. Left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan and left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav were both included in India's playing eleven.

With Deepak Chahar and Kuldeep Sen out due to hamstring strains and stress injuries in their backs, as well as skipper Rohit Sharma travelling home to visit a specialist for his damaged left thumb, India has added an additional left-handed batter in Kishan and another spinner in Yadav.

Since we haven't played one-day cricket in a very long time because our focus has been on T20 cricket, stand-in captain KL Rahul said, "Injuries are not great and we've had a few of them, but they also give opportunities to new guys. We've always had the quality as a team. Right now it's important for us to get better as individuals and get runs in different conditions.

India will be seeking a consolation win to end the ODI series on a high as Bangladesh has already won the series. There is pressure on every international game, no matter the opponent. "We always want to win and give our best for the country, but sometimes it doesn't happen," said Rahul. "It's a new wicket - different conditions. Important for us to assess, be brave, and put the pressure back on them. That's what Indian cricket has done over the years."
