India goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu stressed the intensity of the fixture:

“It won’t change the competitiveness or the fierceness of the game. It’s always a big game for them and for the people of Bangladesh because it’s against India.”
He added:
“We need to be prepared mentally and physically because it’s always a tough game. It might not be the nicest game to watch. It might be scrappy, and we as a team need to be ready for any challenge.”

Defender Sandesh Jhingan echoed the focus with a simple approach:

“Our expectations are very simple. Play to our full potential, and stick to the system for as long as we can during the game. If we can do that, the rest will follow.”

Having faced Bangladesh in Dhaka in previous tournaments, India know the environment will be demanding. But they appear calm, well-prepared and ready to take on the challenge as they aim to make impact in this vital qualifier.
