Key Highlights
- Bangladesh cricket team has often been seen as a potential stumbling block
- Cricket has strived hard to represent hope in present-day Bangladesh
- Rohit and his predecessor Virat Kohli unleashed their wrath with the willow
“Indian journalists are asking me if a third upset is on the cards. I ask, why do you think it will be an upset? Bangladesh are a well-balanced team this year. They are capable of great things and let us not forget what happened in 2007 or the 2004 ODIs. I have vowed to never watch cricket again if we lose to India today,” Mujassim Mohammed told Mid-Day, while blowing a conch and waving the Bangladeshi flag incessantly on the sidelines of the league stage match in Pune.
