Basking in the glory of their series victory in Pakistan earlier this month, Bangladesh are already hoping to put up a tough fight against India in the two Test matches.

The series begins in Chennai on September 19.

Litton Das, one of their star performers in Pakistan, on Tuesday said the team has been trying to get used to the SG balls which will be in use in India.

Bangladesh usually play with the Kookaburra ball at home and the same was used during the Tests against Pakistan as well.

“The ball will be a different one in India,” Litton said in Dhaka on Tuesday. “It is a little harder to play against the SG ball. The Kookaburra ball is easier to play when it gets old. It is the opposite with the SG ball. It is harder to get away against the old ball when it’s the SG.”

Litton also warned that Bangladesh can’t rest on the laurels from their first-ever series win over Pakistan.

“We played good cricket against Pakistan but it is already in the past,” Litton said. “It is important for us to look forward... As a player, it is already in the past for me.”

Litton knows that the fans will be watching with great expectation but he refused to see it as a burden.

“It is inspiring that people will know you if you do well,” he said. “There’s nothing better than that. I don’t think it is pressure. We are improving in Tests, so we have to become more consistent in the format. That’s the main challenge.”

Litton’s role in the team as a lower-middle-order batter suits his natural game and he batted for nearly six hours to dig Bangladesh out of a hole in Rawalpindi.

“I have to take responsibility now,” he said.

“It is the right time. I have been playing for 10 years, so there has been some experience. I try to score off deliveries that I believe are there to hit. Scoring runs is more important these days. I think I bat in the same way that most batters approach the game.”

Bangladesh are scheduled to arrive in India on Sunday.
