Pay back time for India?

Team India is set for its first encounter since the World Cup fiasco. The brigade reached Dhaka on May 7 to play three ODIs and two Tests against Bangladesh.

Captain Dravid and the team, emboldened by the rigorous conditioning camp at Eden Gardens, seem to have only one mission - a series win. Although skipper Rahul Dravid says he doesn't see this tour as a revenge series, it is quiet apparent that India will put its best foot forward. A series win will not just give India a psychological advantage, but also an improvement in rankings.

But, Bangladesh are no more considered minnows. They had been instrumental in India's first round exit from the mega event and have gained confidence after defeating South Africa in the Super Eights. Will it be pay back time for Team India?
