Twitter Reacts As Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli Help India Hammer Bangladesh In 3rd ODI To Avoid Banglawash

[ad_1]

The dead rubber third ODI of the three-match series between Litton Das-led Bangladesh and KL Rahul-led India was played at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Saturday, December 10.

India National Cricket Team beat Bangladesh National Cricket Team by 227 runs to avoid a whitewash. The teams will next lock horns in a two-match Test series. The first Test match will be played in Chattogram from December 14 to 18 and the second Test will be played from December 22 to 26 in Mirpur.

Bangladesh won the toss for the third consecutive time in the series and elected to bowl first. Litton Das confirmed two changes to the playing XI, with Yasir Ali and Taskin Ahmed coming in for Najmul Hossain Shanto and Nasum Ahmed.

On the other hand, India made two forced changes as Kuldeep Yadav and Ishan Kishan replaced the injured Deepak Chahar and Rohit Sharma.

Batting first, veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan endured a third consecutive failure in the series. He was cleaned up by Mehidy Hasan Miraz for 3 in the 5th over itself.

Then came something that Bangladesh would have never expected as youngster Ishan Kishan and batting great Virat Kohli showcased a batting masterclass and built a wonderful partnership. They added 290 runs in just 190 deliveries. Kishan was the aggressor as he contributed 199 runs in the partnership and Kohli contributed 85 runs.

Talking about the hero of the match, Ishan Kishan scored his maiden ODI century and then converted it into a remarkable double century. The 24-year-old became the fastest player in history to score 150 and 200 ODI runs in an innings.

Overall, he scored 210 runs off 131 balls. His innings consisted of 24 fours and 10 sixes, meaning he scored 156 runs off boundaries. Kishan became the 4th Indian batter and overall only 7th batter in history to smash an ODI double century.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli registered a century for himself as he smashed 113 runs off 91 balls, including 11 fours and 2 sixes. This was his first ODI ton since August 2019 and overall his 72nd international century.

Also, the stupendous knocks of Kishan and Kohli helped India post their 4th highest ODI total on the board, 409/8. This was the 6th time in ODIs that India topped the 400-run barrier.

Chasing the target, Bangladesh lost the wickets of Litton Das and Anamul Haque inside the first powerplay and after 10 overs the Bangla Tigers were at 66/2. In the next 10 overs, Mushfiqur Rahim and Yasir Ali got out and Bangladesh were at 109/4 after 20 overs.

The Bangladesh batters struggled against the Indian bowlers, they failed to get going and were bundled out for 182 in 34th over. All six Indian bowlers looked in a good rhythm and all of them picked up at least one wicket each. The three-match ODI series ended with Bangladesh winning by 2-1.

Since people are usually quick to jump upon KL the captain when the team loses, are they going to laud his Captaincy for that?

I won’t hesitate to repeat, this Indian ODI team plays well as a TEAM when their fulltime captain is not present in team at any form. Call me a hater, but the numbers prove it. #INDvsBAN

So this pitch was clearly not a road. It’s just Ishan and Kohli who made it look like a road. #INDvsBAN

#INDvsBAN. BAN tail wags well, while India with no tail at all?! Though India won with a huge margin of 227 runs, the batting order needs to introspect, sack nondelivering oldies and induct younger blood. Also need more consistent Pacers. 1.

— Soma (@Visalmama) December 10, 2022

Rohit sharma proved IPL captaincy is completely different from international captaincy. For internationals, one needs to be energetic,fitter and should not show escapist attitude.#INDvsBAN #PAKvsENG #RohitSharma𓃵 #BCCI @JayShah

— Amar chand (@penumutchu30) December 10, 2022

India have bowled brilliantly, and have been led really well today in the field. Rahul’s captaincy has been spot on! #INDvsBAN

— Vipin Tiwari (@vipintiwari952) December 10, 2022

India really lost the series to Bangladesh just to pummel them inside out in the final ODI#INDvsBAN #BANvsIND

— Bing Bong Joon-ho (@cinemaclown) December 10, 2022

Now who should be credited @BCCI win against @BCBtigers in 3rd Odi #INDvsBAN
Is it the Batting department or the Bowling department…
For me it is Batting as they put pressure on #Bangladesh while chasing as they have to chase a huge total, which made them make mistakes (1/2)
