The squad that India has announced for the two Test matches against Bangladesh shows how serious India is taking this series against Bangladesh. Not just limited to team announcements, a significant number of people have bought tickets with huge sums of money to watch this Test match between India and Bangladesh. Bangladesh recently finished the Test series against Pakistan where Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in two matches to whitewash. Basically this is the only reason to take Bangladesh so seriously. The match between India and Pakistan in the equation is highly competitive but currently the hype can be seen in the match between Bangladesh and India. Hopefully Bangladesh can compete like that against India in the two Test matches.

There is no opportunity to underestimate the opponent. The adversary may be relatively weak but to think of him as weak is a sign of stupidity and incompetence. Because there is no obligation that a weak party will always remain weak. This is the mentality when you make someone feel weak, you will also feel weak with them. When you think your opponent is weak, you will also be mentally weak and it is natural that your opponent will take advantage of this.

As an equation, Bangladesh is relatively weaker team than India. But you would be wrong to ignore Bangladesh's recent performances. Maybe the Indian team has world class bowlers and batsmen, do you think Bangladesh is far behind India? Bangladesh's bowling unit is capable of competing with India's bowling unit. It would not be wrong to even say that Bangladesh's bowling unit may be stronger than India's bowling unit. But the batting department of Bangladesh is far behind the batting department of India. Just because they did bad in the past does not guarantee they will do bad in the future. If the Bangladeshi batsmen can do well then India vs Bangladesh match will be exciting and competitive. Now let's see how the two teams perform during the match.

Considering the equation, Bangladesh lags behind India in all aspects but there is a saying in cricket that whoever does well on the field will get results. Bangladesh has been doing well lately in Tests and other formats, but it is not impossible that Bangladesh can go to Indian soil and defeat India. Basically, since this series is part of the Test Championship, India did not want to take any risk against Bangladesh, that's why they announced the same team against Bangladesh that they announced against Australia or England. However, although Bangladesh have performed well recently, I feel that they will not be able to do much good on Indian soil, the result in this series is more likely to go in favor of India.

You are right I agree with you because cricket is a game of uncertainty the team that performs well on the field will basically win if Bangladesh can give their best against India. Especially if the batting line of Bangladesh can bat responsibly, the game against India will definitely be very competitive. Comparatively when there is a match against India Bangladesh of course Bangladesh cricket team try to perform very responsibly but after winning the test series against Pakistan Bangladesh players are very confident if they can perform well they can beat India too. However, looking at the team announced for India's Test match, we can understand that India has taken Bangladesh team very seriously, they are not weak against the opponent in any way as a weak team. As a Bangladeshi I will definitely support the Bangladesh team and hope from my heart that Bangladesh will perform very well in the Test match and T20 against India and perform to win the match against India and win the Test series or T20 series.
