And till when will we back pretty 20s wala Gill? We have better players who have piled up runs at the position in domestic cricket. #BANvIND

Such an archaic way this Indian team and players like Kohli are following.. U see what Pants, Littons, England are doing.

Still u end up playing 22 balls for 1 run and get out. Where the hell is intent.#Kohli#IndvsBan#INDvsBangladesh #BANvIND #banvsInd#INDvBAN

Speaking of the entire action of the match, the hosts lost three early wickets only on the score of 51 runs at the start of the day. But later on, young opener Zakir Hasan’s crucial knock of 51 runs followed by a brilliant 73-run half-century by Litton Das helped Bangladesh to post a total of 231 runs posting a target of 145 runs for India in the fourth innings.

Axar Patel ended up as the leading wicket-taker for India in the second innings by scalping three wickets and conceding 68 runs in 19.2 overs. Other than him, Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj also scalped two wickets alongside one scalp each by Umesh Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat.

Notably, the Indian team has to win this match and the series as well by a clean sweep margin to keep their hopes alive in contention for the World Test Championship 2023 Final.
