Focus is on winning the Bangladesh series, says India’s captain Rohit
CHENNAI: India hope to make a strong start to their home Test season from tomorrow.
The two-match series against Bangladesh will be held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Rohit’s side begin a busy schedule with the opening match, after which they will host New Zealand in three games and then head to Australia in November for five more Tests.
“Every game is important while playing for the country,” Rohit told reporters in Chennai.
“It’s not a dress rehearsal for the Australia series. There are World Test Championship points at stake and we need to start the season on a high.
“The focus is on winning the Bangladesh series rather than looking too far ahead.”
India last lost a home test series in 2012 when they fell 2-1 to England and have since won 17 consecutive series, losing only four out of 51 matches, but Rohit said his players cannot get complacent.
