🏏BD vs India - 3rd ODI: Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram 🏏 - Page 12

47.2 Taskin Ahmed to Axar, out Bowled!! Slower delivery, outside off, Axar looks to slog it and drags it down on to the sticks. That was a slower delivery and Axar didn't gaze it well. Axar b Taskin Ahmed 20(17) [4s-1 6s-1]

IND: 398-6 after 48 overs

48.5 Shakib to Washington Sundar, out Bowled!! Goes back to a flatter delivery, Washington Sundar was a little late on the shot and the ball went off the pads to shatter into the sticks. Bangladesh have been superb since the departure of Kishan. The batter missed the line as well. Washington Sundar b Shakib 37(27) [4s-4 6s-1]

IND: 406-7 after 49 overs

49.4 Mustafizur to Thakur, out Caught by Litton Das!! Fuller ball, clobbered down the ground and the man at long-on takes it with elan. Was hit flat as he failed to get any elevation. He just couldn't time it. Thakur c Litton Das b Mustafizur 3(5)

Mustafizur to Thakur, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

IND: 409-8 after 50 overs

Can we safely say Ishan saved the day? Or is it too early?

Cheers..

Ishan Kishan: The wicket was too good to bat on. My intent was very clear - if the ball is there, I'll go for it. I'm blessed to hear my name amid such legends. Still feel when I got out - 15 overs were left. Could've scored 300 also. Batting with Virat bhai, he has such good sense of the game. He was calming me down when I was in my 90s. I wanted to bring it up with a six, but he said to get it in singles as it's your first. Had a chat with Surya bhai - he said when you bat before the game, you see the ball well. I didn't take too much pressure on myself. Just wanted to make use of the opportunity.

India end with 409. And how many times would you feel a little disappointed by that? India managed to score only 70 runs in the last 10 overs. And hence have ended with a total which doesn't threaten the 450 mark. But the day belonged to Kishan. He came. He saw. He hit fours and sixes at will. India were hurting from the losses. But Kishan didn't have much baggage and must have been following some bazballism. His double ton was his maiden ODI ton and was the quickest double ton in ODIs. And amidst all the hullabaloo, Virat Kohli etched out a ton for himself. His first in almost three years ensured India just piled on the misery on the Bangladesh bowlers. And just for the record, Kishan was replacing Rohit Sharma who of course knows a thing or two about double tons in ODIs. The bowling, well, what can be said when someone just unleashes himself like this. The chase in some time.

Adarsh: "Kishan Virat: 323/2 in 222 balls. Rest of India: 86/6 in 78 balls including extras."
