Tanzim double strike puts India on back foot
Rohit Sharma took down Shakib Al Hasan early to give India a rollicking start with the bat. Shakib had the last laugh in the end but the Indian skipper struck two fours and a six off the Bangladesh all-rounder to take advantage of the field restrictions.
Rohit made an aggressive 23 off 11 deliveries.
Despite Rohit’s dismissal, his partner Virat Kohli continued to play his natural game, running hard and picking up boundaries.
But Tanzim Hasan Sakib returned to clean up Kohli on 37 off 28 and then bowled an absolute beauty to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav on six.
After nine overs, Bangladesh are 80-3.
