Bangladesh will be full of confidence

Recently, the Bangladesh cricket team defeated Pakistan 2-0 in a two-match Test series in their own home. In such a situation, the morale of this team will be very high at this time. On the other hand, Team India had to face a 0-2 defeat in the ODI series on the Sri Lanka tour. In such a situation, it would not want to be negligent at all. This will be very important for the Indian team in terms of reaching the final of the World Test Championship.
