Woww!! 20 of 6 balls he just killed it. This is the reason Shikhar is persisted, he plays in big games. Great game by Shikhar and Kohli. Awesome hitting by Dhoni
Absolutely! I just can't understand why ACC wants a qualifier for Asia Cup. Just do an 8-team Asia Cup with the Champions Trophy tournament format.If Bangladesh keep on playing this way I am sure these would be the rankings in Asian sub continent soon
1) India
2) Bangladesh
3) Pakistan
4) Afghanistan
5) Sri Lanka
6) Oman
7) Hong Kong
8() United Arab Emirates
Wow. Ravi Shashtri came into my mind after seeing this ;pYes, brilliant finish, brilliant chase, brilliant match. Bangladesh should be proud of themselves to come so far. They put up a strong total. It was a competetive game which makes Cricket a winner.
Good game overall for India. In bowling, Ashwin and Bumrah were brilliant. Nehra bowled decently but bowled too many bad balls in between which has been rare since his comeback. Hardik is obviously the weak link in this bowling line-up since he doesn't have too much experience and unlike Bumrah, doesn't have that yorker bowling ability but still he will improve with these experience. It was a bit surprising for me that Dhoni decided to play Jadeja against Bangladesh. I was thinking Bhuvneshwar would have come in handy against Bangladesh.
In batting, good to see Dhawan getting some runs as it was important for his confidence. Still believe his wicket shot was very poor but he did his job. Rohit I heard doesn't have a good record in knockout matches but he has looked decent in this tournament. Kohli as always amazing which has been the key for our limited over success in last few. And another iconic finish by MS Dhoni.
Good tournament overall for preparation for T20 WC. Let's get the blooooooody job done boyzzzzzz as Ravi Shastri would say.
