India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has highlighted the potential to introduce youthful talent in the concluding T20I of the series against Bangladesh, set to take place in Hyderabad.

In the earlier matches, newcomers Mayank Yadav and Nitish Kumar Reddy left a mark with their performances. Yadav impressed with his pace, while Reddy showcased both batting finesse and bowling prowess. Having won the series, India is now positioned to potentially sweep the series with another victory over the Tigers.

Ten Doeschate, in a pre-match press conference, indicated that players like Harshit Rana and Tilak Varma may receive a chance to make their international mark in the game. He emphasized the strategic depth of the squad, enriched with IPL experience, and the willingness to expose players to international cricket in preparation for future challenges. He remarked that earning opportunities, rather than simply being given them, remains a core philosophy of the team. Looking beyond the series, India has an intense schedule with upcoming Test matches against New Zealand, the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, and the ICC Champions Trophy, with further challenges looming, including a series in England.
