IND vs BAN: Virat Kohli-led India 'Best Side In The World', Says Mohammad Mithun

Ahead of first Test, Bangladesh wicket-keeper Mohammad Mithun admitted that the Virat Kohli led side is the 'best side in the world'

After giving fans a thrilling performance in T20I series, India and Bangladesh are all set to feature in their first Day-Night Test at the Eden Gardens slated to begin from November 22. The first Test match between both the teams will be played from November 14 at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. Ahead of series opener, Bangladesh wicket-keeper Mohammad Mithun admitted that the Virat Kohli led side is the 'best side in the world'. "We respect them, they are one of the best sides in the world. At home, they are very strong," Mithun told reporters. "In the past, India depended on spin bowling attack, however now they have strong pace attack too," he added. "We haven't practiced with the pink ball, so I don't have much of an idea," said Mithun. Despite recently banned Shakib Al Hasan's absence the team is motivated to showcase a good performance against India in the Test series. "Tamim and Shakib are our best players and we all are missing them, but we can't look back as we have to play well as a unit to win here," said Mithun. Bangladesh have never defeated India in the longest format of the game. "In a Test, every session is important. A five-day Test allows each team to have a chance in the match. Everyone needs to contribute. We are not looking for any weakness in their side, we are just trying to strengthen our game," Mithun said. "We are trying to improve our game. We have to do a lot of hard work to win here. All five bowlers in their side are world-class," he added.
