Ind vs Ban: India captain Rohit Sharma did not get amongst the runs like was expected to against Bangladesh in Chepauk vs Bangladesh. He perished for merely six off 19 balls. Rohit was caught in the slips by Najmul Shanto trying to play an uppish drive to Hasan Mahmud. Yet, he became the talk of the town. Rohit was spotted doing the iconic Yuzvendra Chahal pose next to his teammates. The image was captured and now it has surfaced on social space and being talked about. Rohit may have had a bad day in the office but he surely got people talking with his action. And the action is a big hit.
Here is the image that has gone viral on social space:
Meanwhile, India found themselves in trouble early after being put into bat.
Shubman Gill (0) lasted just eight balls but he would count himself unlucky, feathering Mahumd’s down the leg side delivery to wicketkeeper Litton Das.
Virat Kohli (6) walked into the Chepauk amid loud cheer from the crowd and looked confident. But an old failing resurfaced to haunt him.
Mahmud pitched one just short of the length outside the off-stump, and the drive was not there. But the star batter chose to play an expansive drive with the ball nestling in Litton’s gloves after taking a healthy edge off Kohli's bat.
India were 34 for three inside the first 10 overs as a veil of silence covered the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Gradually, a sizable crowd regained the voice as Jaiswal and Pant, who came ahead of KL Rahul , played counterattacking knocks to drag India back into the contest.
They were a bit edgy to begin with as there were a few play-and-misses, edges, couple of wrong calls for singles between them, but the left-handers soon overcame it to play a few dazzling shots.
At the time of filing the copy, India were 256 for six. Ravindra Jadeja (43*) and Ravichandran Ashwin (64*) are in the middle trying to get India back on track.
