India could crack if put under pressure: Ashraful

MUMBAI: Mohammad Ashraful announced his arrival with a magnificently crafted century on debut against Sri Lanka during the Asian Test Championship in September 2001. Thereafter, it didn't take him long to establish himself as the poster-boy of Bangladesh cricket.
However, as destiny would have it, Ashraful, all of 30 - an age when most batsmen are at the peak of their careers - is back in his hometown Dhaka, tracking Bangladesh's memorable World Cup campaign as a cricket pundit.He is serving a five-year ban (that includes a two-year suspended sentence) for his culpability in the 2013 spot-fixing scandal that rocked the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
Quite expectedly, Ashraful sees no reason why they can't do it for a fourth time, come Thursday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. "I feel India can be vulnerable if put under pressure, especially from what I saw in their last three games. West Indies and Zimbabwe could have done better than what they managed and they allowed India to come back," Ashraful told TOI on Tuesday.
