Rohit Sharma & Co. stand tall at the top of the pyramid and are aiming to qualify for their third-straight WTC final in 2025. The Bangla Tigers are on the back of a historic triumph in Rawalpindi, where they emerged victorious over Pakistan in the two-match Test series.

After what was a record-setting tour for Bangladesh, they now have their sights on Pakistan's arch-rivals India.

What did Dinesh Karthik say about Bangladesh's chances in Test series against India?

Ahead of the Bangladesh Test matches, former international cricketer Dinesh Karthik has predicted the outcome of the series where he claimed that India should not face much trouble in clinching the series.

Speaking on Cricbuzz, Karthik said, "I personally do not think Bangladesh will give a tough fight to India after a series win in Pakistan. Beating India in India is a humungous task. Bangladesh has played well in Pakistan, but I do not think it will be much trouble for India to beat Bangladesh."
