‘We will worry about the result on the fifth day’s final session,’ Shanto radiates optimism ahead of the Chennai test

After whitewashing Pakistan in their den, Bangladesh is in good spirits. As a result, they are no longer considered the underdogs, and the forthcoming series versus India will be an exciting contest to watch. In addition, India captain Rohit Sharma said that his team is not complacent and that they expect Bangladesh to fight, just like any other team.

Najmul Hossain Shanto , the captain of Bangladesh, said that the team is finding strength within itself despite outside criticism ahead of the September 19 series opener in Chennai.

“It’s crucial, in my opinion, to focus on ourselves rather than our opponents. What assets we possess. I think we can play some very decent cricket here. How we can play five days of good cricket is vital. Every foreign team wants to win each and every game. We will play to win and we share the same objective,” Najmul was cited as saying.

Najmul Hossain Shanto continued by saying that the Bangla Tigers’ unified objective going into the match is to win

“We’ll take any necessary action to win a game. In the last session of the fifth day, we shall be concerned about the outcome. We will attempt to play to our strengths prior to that. In Pakistan, we had excellent cricket, but it is now in the past. However, as you pointed out, that gives us great confidence. However, the dressing room thinks we can play really excellent cricket here, and we are here to play a fresh series. Furthermore, we are merely attempting to follow our procedures without considering the result,” he continued.

Mohammed Shami is still not ready for a match for India, therefore Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will spearhead the attack. Following his exclusion from the England series, KL Rahul has returned to the lengthier format. Akash Deep, who has only one Test cap, will be adding more following his successful performance in the Duleep Trophy 2024.
