In regards to the matchup, India will eye another Test win at the expense of the tourists, who haven't been able to cope with the Indian seamers. With conditions also set to favour the pacers once again, Bangladesh will need the likes of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad to step up in this monumental Test match. Here are a few tips for your IND vs BAN D/N Test fantasy team.

IND vs BAN Playing XI Updates
India
Although this is a Day-Night Test match, India isn't expected to make any changes to the side that beat Bangladesh in Indore. The Indian batting unit is in fine form with Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma registering double hundreds in this season. Although Cheteshwar Pujara's form is a slight concern, he still remains one of India's best in the format. Ravindra Jadeja is expected to play as the floater with Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane manning the middle order. Three seamers, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami should feature in this Test with Ravi Ashwin filling in as the lead spinner in Kolkata.
Possible XI: Rohit, Mayank, Pujara, Kohli (C), Rahane, Jadeja, Saha (WK), Ashwin, Umesh, Shami and Ishant.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh should more or less field the same side for this game with the possibility of fielding an extra pacer firmly on the cards. Mustafizur Rahman might get the nod over Taijul Islam as he looks to fit into the bowling attack alongside Abu Jayed and Ebadat Hossain. Saif Hassan is out of the reckoning due to injury which should see the pair of Shadman Islam and Imrul Kayes open the batting once again. The onus will be on the duo of Mominul and Rahim to deliver the goods with Liton Das and Mahmudullah Riyad batting around them.
Possible XI: Shadman, Imrul, Mominul(C), Rahim, Mithun, Mahmudullah, Liton (WK), Mehidy, Abu Jayed, Ebadat and Mustafizur.

IND vs BAN Pitch Report
In the past international Day-Night Test matches prior to this game, the seamers have enjoyed the conditions and the extra movement of the ball due to pronounced seam. While the pacers should ideally get some help, the weather is perfect for this historic fixture. Both teams would love to field first and pick early wickets on what is a decent track to bat on.
IND vs BAN Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Although Wriddhiman Saha is well aware of the conditions at his home ground, Liton Das should get the nod in the fantasy team. With India's batting might taken into consideration, Saha might not get much time in the middle to make an impact with the bat. This leaves us with only Liton Das, who did manage good starts in both the innings of the Indore Test before throwing it away.
Batsmen: Although both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli didn't do much in the first Test, both of them are in decent form with double hundreds to their names against South Africa. Moreover, Rohit's record in Kolkata is pretty good which paves the way for this selection. While Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara are also viable candidates, Mushfiqur Rahim is picked as the lone Bangladesh batsmen in the fantasy side.
All-rounders: Although there isn't expected to be much spin on offer, both Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are viable options. While Ashwin picked five wickets in Indore, Ravindra Jadeja's superior batting ability is also worth having in the side. Mehedy Hasan is another such player who can cause damage with both the bat and ball.
Bowlers: Mohammed Shami is a must-have in the side with the express pacer in superb form in the Test format. Along with him, both Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav are also picked in the side as well. All three of them were among the wickets last time around and with the Pink Ball bound to help them, they are bound to pick a lot of wickets in Kolkata. As for the final pick in the fantasy side, Abu Jayed should be preferred over Ebadat Hossain.
Captain: Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami are the first choices for the multiplier options. Both of them are in very good form and should be able to make an impact against the hapless Bangladesh outfit. As a differential, Cheteshwar Pujara could be chosen. The Saurashtra batsman is due for a big score and could just do that against a weak Bangladesh bowling attack.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Liton Das, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehedy Hasan, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Abu Jayed. Captain: Mohammed Shami, Vice-Captain: Cheteshwar Pujara
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Liton Das, Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli, Mushfiqur Rahim, Ravichandran Ashwin, Abu Jayed, Ebadat Hossain, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Mohd Shami. Captain: Rohit Sharma, Vice-Captain: Mohammed Shami
