We respect Bangladesh a lot, they’re a very good team: Rahul Dravid

Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid expressed that the team respects Bangladesh as an opponent. He added that in the T20 format, no team cannot be taken lightly. Rahul Dravid cited the example of Ireland doing well against England in the ongoing T20 World Cup. At the pre-match press conference, the Indian coach stated, as quoted by The Print,

“We respect them a lot. I think they’re a very good team. This format and this World Cup have really shown us you can’t take any team lightly. Ireland showed that against England. The fact that it’s already such a short format. The margins of victory and defeat even if they’re 12-15 runs, it’s actually two hits. It’s two hits one way or the other and that’s the game.”

“On top of that, these conditions have leveled the playing field to a large extent, because the boundaries are bigger. Some of those hits you expect in the sub-continent to go for six … it’s not happening that easily. People are getting out,” he added.
