Batting first, the men in blue got an early only-on score of 15 runs when senior opener Shikhar Dhawan fell prey to star Bangla all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the fifth over of the match.

The Indian cricket fans are also overwhelmed with the brilliant performance from the southpaw in the last ODI of the series. They took to Twitter for appreciating Ishan.
