Bangladesh, who performed really well in their recent Tests against England and New Zealand, aren't expected to pose India much of a challenge but expecting them to be more competitive than the mighty Austalians is one big statement that Chopra made.
The former Indian batsman's statement wasn't welcomed by Australian great Dean Jones who hit back at him saying, "Be afraid Aakash... be very afraid..."

Jones has a clear warning for Akash, whose over confidence might just comeback to haunt him as Australia – with the likes of Mitchel Starc, David Warner, Steve Smith, etc. - look to give India a tough Test in unfavourable conditions.
