Nidahas Trophy 2018: Twitter Reactions

When everything seemed to be out of control of Indian team, Dinesh Karthik hit six on the final delivery to win the game for India as India chased down a target of 167.

He came in at a time when India needed 34 off 12.

Karthik had never done anything like this before but today, he stole the show with a six to hand Bangladesh another defeat.

He played an innings of 29* off just eight deliveries to emerge out as unlikely hero for team India.

A six on the final delivery saw India winning the Nidas Trophy 2018.

Earlier in the evening, After Batting first, Bangladesh posted a total of 116/8 on the board.

They did not have a good start as they lost both the openers on a score of 27 within first five overs.

They soon stuttered to a score of 68/4 in 10.1 over.

The run-rate was a problem for Bangladesh but Sabbir Rahman’s blitz in the later over was a big boon for the side.

He scored 77 off just 50 to steer Bangladesh to a competitive total.

Mehidy Hasan too played his part with the bat by scoring 1 off 7.

Here are some best of the tweets from the final contest –

Wow! What a win. 2 overs , 34 runs to win the finals , #DineshKarthik pic.twitter.com/lGJgxdMoT7

Easily the best hand Dinesh Karthik has played in his career. Been saying it for a while, this is the best he has been batting in his career

Bangladesh have pulled it back really well in the last few overs. India already in a situation where they need 2 big overs

I thought Dinesh Karthik was in really good batting form………

Hard on Vijay Shanker. Really a batsman who helps out with the ball. India continue to go into matches with less than 20 overs available to them.

must be frustrating for mahmudullah to reach the dressing room after that runout and find there's no glass left to shatter #INDvBAN
