The two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is going to start from September 19. After a break of more than a month, it can be challenging for Team India to deal with Bangladesh. Regarding this, Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar has warned Rohit Sharma’s Team India. Gavaskar warned Team India including Rohit Sharma not to take Bangladesh lightly. Two years ago in the Test match played in Dhaka, Bangladesh had put India in trouble, however, Shreyas Iyer and R Ashwin together led Team India to victory. But there has been a lot of change in the Bangladesh team between then and now. The team recently won the title by defeating Pakistan in its own home.
Gavaskar wrote in his column in Mid-Day that, by defeating Pakistan in both the Test matches played in Pakistan, Bangladesh has shown how much strength they have. Not only this, when Team India toured Bangladesh two years ago, even then this team gave a tough fight to India. Now after winning the Test series against Pakistan, their morale is high and now they would like to defeat India.
Gavaskar further said that they have some good players and some young cricketers have also impressed. They are not afraid of the opposing team. Now whichever team plays against them will not take them lightly. Because they know that Bangladesh has defeated Pakistan 2-0 in the Test series. This series will be worth watching.
The Indian team has to play a total of 10 Test matches in the coming few months. In which two Test matches are to be played against Bangladesh, three against New Zealand on their soil, while then they have to tour Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Where five Test matches will have to be played. The Indian team is at the top of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 points table, but to reach the final, it will have to win as many matches as possible from the remaining matches.
