India skipper Lokesh Rahul promised to play fearless cricket against Bangladesh when they take on the side in the first of the two match Tests at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium starting on Wednesday.
The match will kick off at 9:30 a.m. and GTV, T Sports will go live the tie.
In this connection, the visiting captain is taking inspirations from the recently concluded first Test between Pakistan and England at Rawalpindi with the both sides managing a mammoth 657 and 579 after Zak Crawly, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook finished with a swirling 111-ball 122, 104-ball 108 and 116-ball 153-run respectively.
‘I think it worked for them. Every side has their own technique. We can learn from those who have done well. It is working for them on how they are performing, said KL Monday in an official press conference in Chattogram.
‘As I said, you couldn’t go forward with a similar approach. You have to take into account where you are and how the condition is,’ he added.
The tourists’ captain also accepted that their aggressive brand of cricket would keep an effective impact in the ongoing second cycle of the ICC World Test Championship.
India who vied in the final of the last edition of the WTC are currently holding the fourth position on the points table.
We are keen to overcome the Test championship. Therefore we need to be belligerent.’
