Bangladesh Ready To Face India After Test Series Sweep Against Pakistan

The Bangladesh team will now face a new challenge as they travel to India, where Rohit Sharma's men have been dominant, especially on home soil. Despite the daunting task, Bangladesh enters the series with renewed confidence, after their impressive performance in Pakistan.

Following the historic victory, Mehidy Hasan expressed confidence ahead of the India tour. He also acknowledged the strength of the Indian team but emphasised that Bangladesh has gained valuable experience from previous matches in the country. 

"There will certainly be challenges. We've played Tests in India before, and our past performances weren't great. However, this time we are going with confidence. We'll try to enjoy the conditions there. When we compete with them, there will be opportunities to achieve good results. Our focus will be on giving our best fight. The whole team is in a positive frame of mind following our victory in Pakistan," said Mehidy.

He noted that although past performances against India had not been favourable, the team is approaching this series with renewed belief and optimism.

Mehidy Hasan's Remarkable Performance Vs Pakistan

In the first Test against Pakistan, Bangladesh claimed a commanding 10-wicket win, which they followed up with another strong show in the second Test and secured a six-wicket victory. 

Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz played a significant role in their success. In the second Test, Bangladesh found themselves in dire straits at 26/6, but a stunning recovery led by Litton's brilliant 138 and Mehidy's vital 78 rescued the innings.

Mehidy played an important role with both bat and ball and turned the game in Bangladesh’s favour with a crucial spell. His all-around efforts, combined with Litton’s masterful innings, allowed Bangladesh to dominate a Pakistani side that had been considered favourites.

The upcoming series will test Bangladesh’s resilience and ability to maintain their newfound momentum against one of the world’s top Test teams.
