Dominant India is looking to maintain its winning momentum in the Asia Cup. The Mahendra Dhoni-led side has recently won two back-to-back T20 series against Australi and Sri Lanka.
India team director Ravi Shashtri asked his players not to take Bangladesh lightly.
"Winning is a habit so when you are playing good cricket it is important to keep that habit going. Focus on your strengths, focus on your work ethics and make sure that you are not complacent, neither are you overconfident," Shastri said, according to India Today.
Indian cricket board, BCCI, also named wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel as a cover up for skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who recently suffered an unknown injury, according to NDTV Sports. Parthiv will soon join India squad in Bangladesh.
