IND vs BAN: Courtesy of an excellent 5-wicket haul by experience Bangladesh spinner Shakib Al Hasan, team India suffered a batting collapse and were bundled out for just 186 runs in 41.2 overs in the 1st ODI. KL Rahul was the lone ranger for team India with his 11th ODI fifty.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz grabbed the first wicket as opener Shikhar Dhawan was cleaned up while trying a reverse sweep in the 6th over. In the 11th over, Shakib Al Hasan came into the attack and struck with two big blows, dismissing both – Rohit Sharma (27) and Virat Kohli (9) in the same over.
While Rohit Sharma was caught in front, Litton Das grabbed a screamer at covers to get rid of an in-form Virat Kohli. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul then held the crease and a lot depended on this partnership and they etched43 runs together for the 5th wicket until Ebadot Hossain broke through. Shreyas Iyer was dismissed after scoring 24 runs in 39 balls.
