'We are going for a result'
India were praying for good weather in the remaining two days of the one-off Test to set a win in motion against Bangladesh in Fatullah. Opener Murali Vijay made it clear after the rain-interrupted third day that India were looking for a victory.
Only 103.3 overs have been bowled in first three days, thanks to rain, but Vijay still said: "I think we're in a good position now and hopefully we can do something special in the last two days."
"Hopefully, weather permitting, we can push for a win and that's our attitude and mindset at the moment. If weather permits, we are going for a result," he added.
He also said that they pinned their hopes on the two spinners, Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin, to secure a victory in the match.
"They (Harbhajan and Ashwin) are different type of bowlers. The wicket is deteriorating and it's going to help both of them."
When asked about their aggressive batting, Vijay said: "It all depends on the situation and it demanded of us to be positive so that we could put as many runs on the board as possible and put them (Bangladesh) under pressure. That was our primary target, and I thought we achieved it. Rahane was selfless and he played a brilliant knock."
