Auckland: Terming Bangladesh a dangerous side on current form, former captain Sunil Gavaskar warned Indian players to not take their eastern neighbours lightly when the two teams meet in the cricket World Cup knock-out stage at the MCG on March 19.

Gavaskar said Bangladesh, with a bit of luck, can beat any side in the tournament and India can take them lightly only at their own peril. “India have beaten Bangladesh on many occasions earlier and so the Indians may be confident that they can do the same this time also. But on current form, Bangladesh are a very dangerous side,” Gavaskar said.
