He bowled terrific lines and lengths and led the Indian bowling from the front.
The comeback man Varun Chakravarthy was equally effective, taking 3 wickets for 31 runs in his 4 overs, maintaining an economy of 7.75. His clever variations in flight and spin kept the Bangladeshi batters under pressure.
