Team India skipper Rohit Sharma failed to open his account against Bangladesh in the ongoing Super 4 match of the Asia Cup 2023. He faced just two balls before returning to the pavilion on the ball of Tanzim Hasan Sakib. The 36-year-old played the ball in the air, giving a regulation catch to Anamul Haque.

India made changes five changes, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Mohammed Shami, and Prasidh Krishna came in a dead-rubber match against Bangladesh. Batting first, the Bangla Tigers scored 265/8, with the courtesy of their captain Shakib Al Hasan who scored 80 runs off 85 balls.

Tilak Varma fails in debut 

Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to field first. The Men in Blue bowlers reduced Bangladesh to 36-3. But the partnership between skipper Shakib Al Hasan and Towhid Hridoy made a 100-run partnership before the skipper went back to the pavilion and missed his hundred. Bangladesh after being 59/4 ended up scoring a competitive 265/8 in their 50 overs. Shardul Thakur was the pick of the bowlers with three scalps to his name. Mohammed Shami who replaced Mohammed Siraj took two for 32. Prasidh Krishna, Axar Patel, and Ravindra Jadeja took one each.

In reply, Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma were back to the pavilion inside the powerplay. The left-hander batter could only score 5 on his ODI debut as India. He misjudged an incoming delivery and left it on the length and he was bowled by Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

Rohit Sharma is currently the second leading run-scorer in men’s T20Is with 3853 runs at an average of 31. Rohit has cracked 4 centuries, a record in T20Is, along with 29 fifties in the format. He has 10 ducks in the T20I. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul have kept the runs ticking and India are 74/2 in 17 overs.

India has dominated the head-to-head encounters between the two teams. However, Bangladesh have achieved notable victories in recent matches, with the most recent ODI series between the two sides ending in a 2-1 victory for them.

India has already qualified for the finals of the Asia Cup. They will be facing Sri Lanka.
