New Delhi: End It was a match that would never be monotonous since the 3rd T20I between India and Bangladesh, wherein the board of cards was totally dominated by the Indian cricket team with their explosive batting, leaving one and all amazed.
It was not only the Indian side that set records in batting but also made Bangladesh go to 3 wickets down at an early stage in the chase and kept the visitors under heavy pressure.
The batting line-up of India did its job to perfection in this match by crushing at least half a dozen records while going on to post a whacking score. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill gave India a flyer from the word go, and in the process, this was also Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 100th T20I outing for India, where he, at the age of just 20 years old, became the youngest Indian to have made a century in T20Is. Then there was the class stuff played by Gill, adding more concreteness to India’s domination of the game.
The pair added a new record for India’s highest-ever opening stand in T20I to its partnership of 150+ and were aggressive from the word go, forcing Bangladesh’s bowlers to search for a breakthrough. The Indians churned out 250+ which remained the highest by an Indian team in T20 internationals.
Bangladesh Falters Chasing
With a mammoth target in sight, Bangladesh were on the back foot from the very start. Indian bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, were flying off right from the word go as they started building pressure on Bangladesh’s top order. Early breakthroughs came pretty soon for Bangladesh as Bangladesh were reduced to 3 wickets lost in the powerplay. Indian bowlers promptly capitalized on the jitters of the batsmen of Bangladesh, which made it quite tough for them to build further partnerships under such hammering pressure.
The fear of losing their jobs really crushed the hopes of the key players, like Bangladesh captain Litton Das, of getting a good chase going. It was a sharp and tight bowling attack from India with Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav chasing down tight lines to pick the crucial wickets for them.
All Round Dominance of India
What made it even special was that India absolutely dominated each and every department. Though the records being set by the batting line-up took all the glory, it was the fielding and bowling that found balance with the strength of the batting. The Indian fielders, spearheaded by captain Hardik Pandya, proved as sharp in reflexes, with precious saves for crucial runs and creating possible run-outs.
Bangladesh’s chase seemed increasingly impossible with each passing over, as the run rate required to win went shooting through the roof. The Indian bowlers never showed any indication of letting their attack relent in the face of this sort of pressure.
Bangladesh Hopes Fade
The middle order of Bangladesh kept crumbling under increasing pressure. With early collapses, the team rested hopes on its lower order salvaging the situation, but under India’s stringent bowling line-up, it seemed next to impossible.
With just a few overs left and Bangladesh still hundreds of runs behind the target, it was pretty obvious that India’s record-breaking day would end with a convincing victory.
A Perfect End to the Series
India’s breathtaking performance in this match ensured for them not only an easy series but also proved the depth and skill coming ahead of the International fixtures. It is because breaking several records in one go and an overall dominating all-round show led Team India to prove why they are taken as one of the strongest teams in world cricket today.
The closing overs of the game were great fun for the fans as India cleaned up the Bangladeshis with no response to the awesome force they were under. This match will be memorable in history, and India will give a mouthful of story and records covered in this match, making it one of the performances in the T20I series.
