Chase done and dusted with 26 balls to spare.A resounding comeback from India after that Delhi mis-step. Barring some more lapses on the field, the hosts were authoritative with bat and ball. Rohit starred in his 100th T20I with a sparkling 85. He should have had his 5th T20I ton but missed out on a long hop. That allowed Shreyas Iyer to chip in with a 13-ball 24.
With the ball, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar and Yuzvendra Chahal were excellent. What should have been a 180+ score, Bangladesh ended with a grossly sub-par 153, a score that was hunted down inside the 16th over! It's 1-1 now and all to play for in Nagpur! Join us for that game! Until then, ta-ta and godspeed!
Breezy little cameo from Shreyas Iyer.Iyer's made a statement himself with this knock. It may be a little over 20 runs but it has come in double quick time. He's excellent against spin but is showing good touch against the pacers too. His intent should hold him in good stead to hold on to the No.4 slot for a while!
OUT! Rohit deserved a 100, but holes out for 85 off 43.What a knock it was! Is brought to an end by Animul Islam. Rohit goes for the swipe but gets a top-edge. What a knock it has been from the Indian skipper! India, though, need only 29 more to win and level the series.
Dhawan falls, but Rohit is the man in the spotlight.The opening stand of 118, however, is broken.
Rohit is dealing in sixes at the moment.
