The current Bangladesh team is no more a punching bag. Take them lightly at your peril. Indian skipper Virat Kohli and his team fully realise this as there was not a sign of complacency when the players went through rigorous training session on the eve of their semifinal at Edgbaston on Wednesday.
"Bangladesh or any other team… it does not make a difference to the way we prepare and plan for the match. As I have said earlier too, in the Champions Trophy there are no easy matches. All I can say is we are determined to make it to the second successive final. The last time we were led beautifully by MS (Dhoni) and I take huge inspiration from him," Kohli said.
