“The favorites are India,” Shami said.
The Indian squad wants to make it into the World Test Championship final three times in a row. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is a do-or-die series for them to hope to win a trip at Lord’s for the championship match. As of right now, India is scheduled to host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series, starting on September 19.
Prior to the tour, Indian pacer Mohammed Shami, who is recovering from surgery on his Achilles tendon, issued a warning to the Australians. Shami was not selected for the Bangladesh series, and it is anticipated that he will return in the BGT. The pacer combo of Mohammed Siraj, Shami, and Jasprit Bumrah will strive to be at their best since Bumrah’s workload is being flawlessly managed. Shami also mentioned how India is a favorite.
“The favorites are us. As reported by NDTV Sports, Shami stated, “They ought to be concerned.”
Every team want to defeat India, says Rohit Sharma
With six victories in nine games, India is now atop the WTC points standings. With eight victories in 12 games, Australia is breathing down the necks, so they should be wary of any weaknesses. The India skipper, Rohit Sharma, has ruled out any possibility of complacency inside the team, saying that the Bangladesh series will present a better chance to score big.
Bangladesh series: no dress rehearsal Every game has significance. No difference where we play. Our goal is to win—both in the series and this test. Keeping an eye on the present while avoiding the future. Rohit commented, “It’s good to have everyone back and start the season on a high.”
Let them enjoy it; every team wants to defeat India. Let them play maze. We have engaged in numerous cricket matches with diverse teams. We’ll concentrate on our own match. He went on, “We try to play good cricket without giving the opposition too much thought.” They also talked a lot during the news conferences once England arrived.
