Rohit Sharma's team should be very careful in the series against Bangladesh, cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar has suggested. Bangladesh recently won a series 2-0 in Pakistan. The first Test between India and Bangladesh will begin at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from September 19-23 and the second Test at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27 to October 1. Gavaskar wrote in his column for mid-day, "By beating Pakistan in both the Test matches played in Pakistan, the Bangladesh team have shown that they are a force to reckon with. Even a couple of years back, when India toured Bangladesh, they were given a good fight by the Bangladeshis. Now with the series win against Pakistan under their belt, they are primed to take on India too.” “They have some fine players in their ranks and some new promising players who no longer have the awe of the opposition that seemed to characterize their early forays into the international game. Now, every team that play them know they can't put their guard down as they could be knocked down as the Pakistanis found out. It will certainly be a series to look forward to,” These two Tests against Bangladesh are part of the current World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. Team India is in first place with 68.52 points, while Bangladesh is placed fourth with only 45.83 points. This series kicks off a busy 10-match Test season for India. They will also play a three-match series against New Zealand in October-November and then go to Australia for the important five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The aim is to qualify for the 2025 World Test Championship (WTC) final that will take place at Lord’s from June 11 to 15 next year. This will be India's first series with Gautam Gambhir as the head coach, with Morne Morkel as the bowling coach. Senior batter Virat Kohli will also return to the Test team after missing the home season earlier this year due to the birth of his second child. In March 2024, Rohit Sharma played his last test at Dharamsala, against England with 103 runs off 162 balls including 13 fours and three sixes.
