India vs Bangladesh: India guard against Bangladesh complacency

Mumbai : Team India have been warned against complacency as they look to extend their record-breaking unbeaten run to 19 matches when they host Bangladesh in a Test for the first time this week.
Following their comprehensive win against England in all formats, Virat Kohli’s side will be heavy favourites in the one-off match in Hyderabad when it begins on Thursday.
But wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha warned it was vital not to be distracted by the prospect of a looming high-profile series against Australia later this month as they face the ninth-ranked Bangladeshis.
“Ranking-wise one may think they will be easier opponents on paper but we cannot underestimate them,” said Saha.
“I don’t know when are the Aussies coming but as of now the focus is on Bangladesh Test. After they’re here we will think about it.”
Kohli’s men are looking to set a new milestone after equalling India’s record of five consecutive Test series triumphs against England, New Zealand, West Indies, South Africa and Sri Lanka in the past 18 months. Bangladesh held India to a draw in June 2015 in a rain-affected Test in Fatullah the last time they met. They have lost six of eight home Tests against India with two drawn but now get a chance to face them away from home for the first time since gaining full status 17 years ago.
