On 14 December 2022, team India began their two-match Test series in Chattogram, Bangladesh. In order to get qualified for the final of the World Test Championship, this series is going to be a crucial one for the Men in Blue. However, they dealt with a blow as Rohit Sharma missed this match due to his thumb injury.

In his absence, KL Rahul got the chance to lead the team. He won the toss and opted to bat first. For India, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill came out to open the innings. Speaking about Gill, he had enjoyed a great 2022 with the bat for team India, especially in the ODI format. So, fans were hoping for an excellent year-end also from this batter.
