11:28   Dhawan aims to get back among the runs

Battling indifferent form, veteran India opener Shikhar Dhawan is working on his sweep shot and reverse hit as part of his preparation for the ODI World Cup at home in October-November 2023.

Having scored just one half-century in his last nine innings, the 37-year-old left-hander faces the heat in the build up to the ODI showpiece.

Team India head coach Rahul Dravid had a special session with Dhawan on Tuesday.

"It's good to practice more. These shots will come handy in these conditions. Even in the World Cup in India where spinners will make an impact, those shots will be helpful. I always enjoy playing them. It's good to practice more in these conditions," said Dhawan.

Dhawan's struggles in the recent past have hurt India in the powerplay. In the first ODI against Bangladesh, he scored 7 from 17 balls as Indias batters were bundled out for 186 in 41.2 overs.

"This is not the first time we have lost the first game in a series. This is quite normal; we know how to bounce back from these situations. We're very, very confident," said Dhawan.

10:56   India face must-win game vs B'desh

Welcome to the coverage of the second One-Day International between India and Bangladesh in Mirpur, Dhaka on Wednesday.

India's decorated top-order will be desperate to change the narrative and give a better account of itself in the do-or-die second match.

Having failed to take the last wicket when Bangladesh needed more than 50 runs, India's bowlers could not deliver but there is no denying the fact that a star-studded batting line-up needs to show more responsibility.

While there are still 10 months left for the ODI World Cup, it is not yet clear what exactly will be Indian team's approach.

The talks around adopting a 'fearless approach' has been going on for some time but its implementation has only been sporadic. At times, adapting to conditions and reacting to situations has got more prominence.

The track at Mirpur wasn't exactly a batting beauty but it also didn't warrant a score of 186.

The erstwhile selection committee's decision to rest both Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson for this series has been equally baffling.

The logic given by the former chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma was that due to a short turnaround from New Zealand, they have picked a fresh bunch of players for the series.

Gill wasn't a part of T20 World Cup and also didn't play the T20 series in New Zealand (he was part of the squad though) and hence leaving him out was baffling.

One of the problems with the Indian top order players is that they are accelerating the run-rate but at the same time consuming way more dot deliveries than they should.

In the match against Bangladesh, dot balls worth more than 25 overs were consumed even as they batted for less than 42 overs.

The idea of handing the gloves to KL Rahul wasn't about increasing flexibility in the team but to ensure that both Rahul and Dhawan could be fitted in the same playing XI, going into the World Cup.

Samson, one of the most flamboyant players, wasn't even picked for this series and Ishan Kishan, who scored a 93 in his last ODI series, despite being a specialist wicketkeeper-batter was benched.
