Meanwhile, India won the toss and opted to bowl first.
"The pitch seems a bit soft, so we have to make early inroads and we want our three seamers to make use of it. We didn't start well with the bat in the first game, but we found a way to score and the bowlers did the job," Rohit said at the toss.
Hosts India, who lead the two-match series 1-0, have fielded an unchanged side.
Bangladesh have however made a couple of changes with Khaled Ahmed and Taijul Islam replacing Taskin Ahdmed and Nahid Rana.
The start of the match was delayed due to a wet outfield.
India had won the opening Test by 280 runs.
