Cricket News: Squad captained by Rohit Sharma India was defeated by Bangladesh by a mere wicket in the opening match of the three-match ODI series. After the low-scoring thriller was won by the Bangla Tigers despite team India’s efforts to be in contention to win the match, former India cricketer Dodda Ganesh was in disbelief.
While batting first, the visitors lost several wickets quickly, compiling an unimpressive total of 186 runs. In return, Litton Das and company also lost wickets during their batting innings, but Mehidy Hasan’s crucial knock ultimately helped the team to win the game.
“Oh my goodness. It’s unbelievable how India managed to lose this match. I keep slapping my skull. In shock by the defeat, Dodda Ganesh wrote on Twitter, “Well played Bangladesh.
Goodness gracious. Unbelievable that India found a way to lose this game. Still shaking my head. Well played Bangladesh #DoddaMathu #CricketTwitter #BANvIND

India will try to recover in the second ODI.
The Men in Blue were simply not at their best in different aspects of the game, from the batting order being upset to fielding blunders, the team garnered attention for all the wrong reasons. However, the bowling unit did a fantastic job of putting up a fight and keeping the team in the game until the very end, which gave rise to hopes of a miraculous victory.
Mehidy Hasan, who batted lower in the order in Bangladesh, demonstrated his skill with a subtle unbeaten 38-run innings off 39 balls, overshadowing India’s struggle. The Indian team will now return to the drawing board and may well make a few tactical adjustments in an effort to resume its winning ways.
India has recently had disappointing performances in the 50-over format and will be looking to bounce back quickly when they square up against the Bangla Tigers in the second ODI encounter. The match between the two Asian foes is slated to take place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Wednesday, December 7.
