India are clear favourites but the visitors recently celebrated a landmark 2-0 series sweep in Pakistan.
CHENNAI - Captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday warned his India team there is"no dress rehearsal" in cricket as they face a Bangladesh side fresh from a historic Test series win over Pakistan.
But first they host Bangladesh in a two-Test series, starting with the opener in the northern Indian city of Chennai from Thursday. "Every game is important because of what is at stake -– the WTC table is quite wide open," Rohit added."We want to win here, and start the season on a high." But there was"no way" his players would"relax and sit back" as a result, the 37-year-old Rohit said.
