A reporter asked if Bangladesh can win this Test match. In reply to that Kuldeep answered, "I personally don't want that!"

"It's cricket. If someone gets a 300, then probably! We will try to bowl them out as early as possible. That's our main goal for tomorrow," he added.

In reply to India's first innings total of 404, Bangladesh were restricted to just 150 runs.

"I believe the pitch is perfect to bat on. It was really good to bat on even against spinners. Yes, some balls are keeping low and the odd ball turning. Me and Ash bhai (R Ashwin) were initially looking at first innings score of 360 but as time passed, batting became easier so we looked at a 400-run total," stated the spinner.

Bangladesh 150 & 119/0 at Lunch on Day 4 of the 1st Test.
