IND vs BAN: Watch - Virat Kohli Takes A Blinder To Get Rid Off Dangerous Shakib Al Hasan In The 1st ODI Against Bangladesh

Bangladesh had won the toss and had opted to field first in the 1st ODI against India. India left out Rishabh Pant and surprisingly made KL Rahul the wicket-keeper batter. The Men in Blue opted to play with 4 all-rounders: Sundar, Shahbaz, Shardul & Chahar, and handed the cap to Kuldeep Sen.

The Bangladeshi Tigers were quite disciplined in their line and length as they hardly gave any freebies. Bangladesh bundled out India for a below-par 186 in 41.2 overs. Shakib Al Hasan was the pick of the bowlers as he took a 5-wicket haul and gave away 36 runs.

Virat Kohli Takes Jaw Dropping Catch

Bangladesh got off to a shaky start as they lost 2 wickets in power-play overs for 30 runs. Indian bowlers were making sure that the batters have to work hard for the runs. At the end of the 23rd over Bangladesh’s score was 95-3 where Shakib was well set on 29 runs in 35 balls and it looked like this could be a smooth run chase. Skipper Rohit Sharma continued with Sundar for the 24th overs. Shakib was seen coming down the track and was looking a bit impatient after playing 2 dot balls back to back. On the 3rd delivery, Sundar bowled a flighted delivery and Shakib tried to go over the cover region but Virat Kohli took an unbelievable catch.

Crucial Phase for Bangladesh

The Bangladeshi Tigers have to be careful here as couple of more wickets can change the complexion of the match. All eyes would be on Mushfiqur Rahim to take the team over the finish line. If Bangladesh plays out the 50 overs then they have a solid chance of winning the match.

Rohit Sharma has a tough task on it’s hands as he doesn’t have enough runs on the board. Shardul Thakur could be the trump card for Men in Blue as he knows how to deceive the batters. It would be interesting to see what tactics the skipper applies as the only way to win the match is to get the opposition bowled.
