'Think And Say': Rohit Sharma Sends Out An Important Message To Bangladesh Before The First Test

IND vs BAN Test Series: Team India skipper Rohit Sharma attended a press conference in Chennai on Tuesday ahead of the India vs Bangladesh first Test which will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, starting Thursday. Team India will be back in action after 45 days, while the Bangladesh team is full of enthusiasm after registering an incredible victory over Pakistan in Pakistan. Bangladesh is coming after a 2-0 series win. However, the team is ready to tackle a tough challenge from the Indian team. Rohit and his men in blue are currently sitting at the top of the ICC WTC( World Test Championship).

Rohit Sharma 's Quirky Response

Rohit was asked about Bangladesh 's triumphant Pakistan series, but he chose to answer it in a different manner. Rohit came up with a quirky response and said,"Sabhi teamo ko India ko harana hai, unhe india ko harane me maza ata hai, maze lene do unko (let them have fun), we will focus on how to beat them. We need to win the match and that's what we are here for. We can't think about what they have to think and say about us. When England came here, they said a lot of things too. But we didn't focus much on it. We needed to deliver results and that'll be out aim here as well. To play good cricket. India have played against a lot of teams recently and out combined aim is to win, rather than keep thinking about the opposition," Rohit said in a pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
