India vs Bangladesh T20 series, 2019: Shakib Al Hasan, Rishabh Pant & MS Dhoni - Season 1, Episode 5
Season 1, Episode 5, Nov 02, 2019, 11:16 AM
Former Indian cricketer Deep Dasgupta and sports journalist/broadcaster Chetan Narula bring to you the latest cricket podcast on the block... HotSpot.
In the fifth episode of HotSpot, we build up to the three-match T20 series between India and Bangladesh starting on November 3, 2019. We discuss different strategies for both sides, especially with Virat Kohli rested from this series.
The first big talking point of this episode is the ban on Bangladesh's star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, how it impacts him and cricket in that country. We also discuss the way forward for Bangladesh cricket in light of his one-year ban.
The other big talking point(s) is Rishabh Pant and India's keeper-batsman conundrum with KL Rahul and Sanju Samson in the T20 squad as well. Is Pant on notice with their inclusion? Can Rahul be asked to keep wickets? Will Samson get a chance to play?
Also, the question no one seems to have an answer for... what is next for MS Dhoni? Will he ever play for the Men in Blue again?
To help debate these points and answer all our big questions, we are joined by senior journalist Vijay Lokapally from The Hindu, who is our special guest on this episode.

And the big one, well of course, has MS Dhoni played his last game for India?
