Rohit Sharma Sent 'Don't Take Bangladesh Lightly' Warning Ahead Of The Test Series: 'They've Beaten Pakistan'
Indian cricket team will return to action during the two-match Test series against Bangladesh at home. Bangladesh have never beaten India in a Test match, however, that does not mean they can't. Bangladesh have a good spin attack and Indian conditions are something they will enjoy. Bangladesh are pumped after picking their maiden Test win over Pakistan and they would look to do the same against India, however, the hosts are likely to present a stiffer challenge than Pakistan.Former India cricketers Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh warned India about the Bangladesh threat and said the team should not take the Tigers for granted. "Now, a team for Tests will be formed. Top players playing Duleep Trophy is a nice initiative by the BCCI. You get to know a lot of things when you play red-ball cricket. You cannot take Bangladesh lightly as they have a fine spin bowling attack and some good players who have done well for a long time. This series will be a fine match practice for the tour to Australia," Raina told ANI.Related News | Pakistan Cricket Hits Embarrasing Low; Lose Test Match For First Time In History VS BangladeshPAK VS BAN Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch Pakistan VS Bangladesh 2nd Test In India?Harbhajan Singh also echoed Raina's sentiments and highlighted the threat Bangladesh pose. "It will be a great series. Indian cricket team has been very capable and has potential. However, we can't strike through Bangladesh as well, they have beaten Pakistan in the first Test match against Pakistan. Sometimes, smaller teams perform well in matches," the former off-spinner said.After the Test series, India will host New Zealand for a three match Test series which be followed by a marquee five match test series in Australia. The Australia tour will be tougher thus India need to win all home games to have a good chance of qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. The Bangladesh Test series gets underway on September 19 in Chennai before the teams lock horns in the second Test in Kanpur from September 27.
