"India vs Bangladesh" It's all set to be big!
Nottingham: The words like minnows and mighty have few takers when it comes to the T20 format and the same has been proved by Netherlands which ousted the England at their home ground.
As India embarks on defending its title of T20 World Cup, beginning with Bangladesh, Team Indian should not be embedded with 0complacency and over confidence.
Twenty20 Format calls for power packed performances leaving no space for classy cricket and it is shot anticipation mixed with power which counts the most.
The Batsmen comes with the only thought of mauling the bowlers instead of playing some wristy and technical shots. Most of the shots played are determined to be crossed over the fence.
Team India also doesn't lack hard-hitters and has line up, including Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir.
Sehwag is likely to miss the opener against Bangladesh owing to his shoulder injury, but his absence could be substantiated with Rohit Sharma, who has delivered good show in the warm-up matches.
Team India could open with Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma if the weather allows the game as rain was reported in Nottingham.
Bangladesh on the other hand boast of players like Mohammed Ashraful, Mashrafe Mortaza, Rubel Hossain Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal who could change the face of game.
