There are contrasting words from both camps. While one view seems believable, the other should be applauded.
virender sehwag 2
India's prolific opener says India are not worried at all about Bangladesh. In Virender Sehwag's opinion, Bangladesh are an ordinary Test team and therefore, India do not believe Bangladesh are capable of causing any surprises in this format, the ODIs being another matter altogether.
While India are in preparedness, Sehwag does not believe India has anything to worry about ahead of the first Test.
But Bangladesh Mahmudullah is confident that Bangladesh are also fearless against India. He says Bangladesh are not deterred by the fact that they will be facing the no.1 Test team in the world because their focus will be on their own strengths, not those of India's.
Mahmudullah believes the absence of the actual captain and bowler, Mashrafe Mortaza has actually depleted their bowling attack but counters with the argument that beating the West Indies (even a depleted one at that) had given Bangladesh confidence enough to challenge the no.1s.
India though are not likely to experiment with their line up, even with Sehwag's assertions.
