After raising the bar with their stupendous show at the just-concluded World Cup, Bangladesh all-rounder Saqibul Hasan today admitted that expectations would be sky high in the ODI series against India.
"That we won (against India) in the World Cup is now a thing of past. Now it's a big series for us. We will be under big pressure. It's a home series. The people have lot of expectations from us," Saqibul, who struck a fine half-century to power his side to a five-wicket upset win over India in the World Cup, said.
The 20-year-old emerged as one of the star performers for the team in the West Indies, scoring 202 runs with two 50-plus scores besides picking up seven wickets with his left-arm orthodox spin.
Speaking about the upcoming one-day series starting May 10, Saqibul said he did not consider Rahul Dravid's men as favourites to win.
"The team which plays well on the match days will win the series," he said after his side's practice session in Dhaka.
"Our guys are all enjoying the game. Hopefully, it will be a good contest and we will do well," he added. |
