Bangladesh Vs India National Cricket Team Matches
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque tried hard to save their side from collapse but Mayank Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi bowled exceptionally.
At one point in his innings, Sanju Samson looked unstoppable at the crease and played some magnificent strokes – until Jaker Ali caught him at mid wicket off Mehidy Hasan Miraz for one too many runs. In this article, we will discuss the main points of Bangladesh National Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team Match Scorecard.
India: Virat Kohli (c), KL Rahul (wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal (wk), Shubman Gill
India will look to build on their impressive 2-0 Test series victory against Bangladesh when they meet them again for three T20 matches this Sunday and Monday in Gwalior and New Delhi, respectively. The series kicks off at Shri Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium before moving onto Arun Jaitley Stadium for its remaining matches.
India captain Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will lead their side, and both batsmen should play key roles. Hardik Pandya has extensive T20 experience that will aid him during this series.
India won the toss and elected to bowl first innings. Zakir Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto initially attempted to play away with the ball; however, Akash Deep soon got his first scalp by dismissing Hasan for a duck.
Bangladesh soon fell apart following this defeat with their lower order being powerless to stop the flow of runs. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah picked up three wickets each to put an end to Bangladesh’s innings.
Spinners Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav will lead a squad featuring fast bowlers Yash Dayal, Akash Deep, Mohd Siraj and Washington Sundar as fast bowlers; Rishabh Pant will compete with Dhruv Jurel to be appointed wicket-keeper.
Bangladesh: Shadman Islam (c), Zakir Hasan (wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mominul Haque (wk), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan (wk), Litton Das (wk).
Due to overnight rain, the match originally scheduled for 9:30am has been postponed until 2pm when umpires will carry out an inspection to see whether any playing can take place today.
Rohit Sharma and India face an uphill struggle as they aim to regain the top spot in Test rankings. Just one victory away, their latest test victory against Bangladesh would only boost that attempt further.
Bangladesh comes into this series on the back of an emphatic win on Pakistani soil, having clean-swept both Test series without a loss for themselves. They have kept most of the same squad as used during that tour with left-arm spinner Shoriful Islam being absent due to injury.
Bangladesh may replace Islam and Nayeem Hasan with two new spinners from outside their ranks in order to take on India’s quality pace attack and Ashwin-Jadeja pairing in this Test matchup. Islam and Hasan struggled against India’s pace attack while Ashwin-Jadeja proved difficult opponents during the opening Test match-up.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz will make his return to Bangladesh Test side after an impressive showing for Surrey County Championship, joining Litton Das, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed on their 16-member squad. Mehidy’s return has given the players extra boost.
Day 1
India and Bangladesh’s annual cricket clash is always highly anticipated. Both countries are fierce rivals on the field and this game holds great significance to them both – for Bangladesh it can cement their status as current cricket powerhouses while an Indian win can further solidify them as one of world’s premier sides.
Day one saw India win the toss and opt to bat first, however initial difficulties proved difficult as India failed to generate any runs with their big guns – Rohit, Kohli, and Gill – failing to generate runs as six wickets fell steadily allowing India back in with an advantaged lead.
Indian bowlers were unflappable as they held back Bangladesh from any further attack, stymying their attempts with disciplined and accurate bowling from R Ashwin in particular while Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja also did their parts en route to an eventual win by an incredible margin of 280 runs in this Test match.
Day 2
After two days of inactivity due to rain and wet outfield conditions, there was genuine worry that this Test might dwindle into a dull draw. But then came an exciting session in the afternoon when Mominul Haque scored his well-earned century for Bangladesh.
Umpires have called a lunch recess and it appears likely that play will be suspended for the remainder of the day. With favorable forecasts predicted for the coming days and dry outfield conditions possibly returning by Day 3, play may resume on Day 3.
Bumrah returns and dismisses Shanto with a full length ball that held its line and caused an edge into third slip – nearly a perfect wicket!
Mehidy slog swept him for a SIX! India have an overwhelming lead of 227 runs; Shakib Al Hasan will come into bat next for Bangladesh.
An over has ended on Day 2, and play will resume tomorrow morning at 12pm when umpires inspect the pitch to decide if play can resume or not.

Day 3
Weather forecast for Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium indicates a positive start time, though outfield conditions remain wet; umpires will wait and see if ground staff can dry the field by their next inspection at 2pm.
Ravindra Jadeja stands just one wicket short of becoming one of a select group of players to have taken 300 Test wickets, joining an exclusive club only eight other people have accomplished in history. Additionally, Jadeja is among a very select few to score over three thousand runs as an all-rounder; and has the chance of becoming the fastest person to achieve this milestone as well.
India may have outclassed Bangladesh in both Test matches, but that shouldn’t dampen their spirits when facing off in three T20 matches against each other this month. Najmul Hossain Shanto and co. will hope to demonstrate they can still be dangerous players even at shorter formats of play.
Bangladesh will aim to continue their stellar form in Twenty-20 internationals when they face world champion India in a three-match T20 series commencing October 6. Suryakumar Yadav will lead India, with Litton Das likely making his T20 debut after an impressive showing in Test series. At home, Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim – two openers who have scored nearly 7000 runs between them this season – being crucial figures.
Day 4
After an extended delay, action resumes in Kanpur’s Green Park. India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first under overcast skies. Their opening bowlers struggled for early breakthroughs against Bangladeshi openers Mominul Haque and Najmul Hossain Shanto’s careful defence, however. These two batsmen managed no further losses before Lunch time.
After the break, India bowlers started picking up wickets quickly. Ravichandran Ashwin decimated Sri Lanka’s middle order, leaving them struggling on 234/6 at stumps and taking three wickets – beating his previous record of two wickets against Sri Lanka back in 2013. Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj also chipped in to help India secure an early advantage.
Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan from Bangladesh continued to bat hard, contributing 72 runs during the final session to keep the scoreboard moving along – until Ravichandran Ashwin struck.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan quickly fell from grace as Mehidy was caught at short midwicket off Ashwin in the first over of the final session, followed by Shakib himself being caught off Yashasvi Jaiswal at forward short leg for an outstanding catch by Yashasvi Jaiswal! Unfortunately for them both their resolve quickly vanished after Mehidy was caught at short midwicket from Ashwin shortly thereafter in over 2.
