Sakib al hasan

Shakib Al Hasan: Ahead of the second Test starting at the Green Park Stadium here on Friday, Bangladesh veteran all-rounder Sakib Al Hasan feels pitches don't hold much importance when they play against strong teams like India.

India crushed Bangladesh by 280 runs in the first Test of the two-match series in Chennai to continue their home dominance in the red-ball format. With an eye on the series sweep, India will be eager to remain unbeaten before facing New Zealand in a three-Test series next month.

“They have been doing well outside India as well. Any country that came to India finding it difficult, we are no different there. But having said that, we have to play really well against them to be able to show the fight that we feel like we can put on,” Sakib said on Thursday.
