India409 for 8 (Kishan 210, Kohli 113, Shakib 2-68) beat Bangladesh182 (Shakib 43, Thakur 3-30, Axar 2-22) by 227 runs

Ishan Kishan ripped up the ODI record books and Bangladesh’s attack with the fastest double-hundred, off 126 balls, to reject the hosts a 3-0 whitewash in Chattogram. Chris Gayle had actually held the previous record, having actually rattled a 138- ball double-century in the 2015 World Cup versus Zimbabwe in Canberra. At different points, Kishan looked great to exceed Rohit Sharma’s 264 – the greatest rating in ODI cricket – however Litton Das plucked a catch out of thin air in the 36 th over to restrict Kishan to 210 off a simple 131 balls.

Kishan controlled a 290- run second-wicket stand with Virat Kohli, who brushed off an unsteady start to notch up an 85- ball century – his very first in ODI cricket given that August2019 Kohli holed out for 113, however cameos from Washington Sundar (37 off 27) and Axar Patel (20 off 17) moved India past400 It was the very first time given that October 2015 that a group aside from England had actually added a 400- plus rating in guys’s ODIs.

In action, Bangladesh folded for 182 in 34 overs, almost preventing the ignominy of their greatest defeat (by means of runs) in ODI cricket. In all, they might handle just 20 limits. Kishan alone had actually struck 24 fours and sent out 10 6s flying over the limit in a knock that leaked with continual intent, a departure from India’s current safety-first technique.

Kishan may not have actually even played this video game had India’s routine captain Rohit been fit. The replacement opener took his chance and unfurled his complete variety, which starkly contrasted with Shikhar Dhawan’s battles this series. Dhawan was dismissed for 3 off 8 balls – his 3rd succeeding single-digit rating – with Mehidy Hasan Miraz pinning him lbw with his very first ball after an effective evaluation.

Mehidy got the new-ish ball to turn and keep in the pitch. He might’ve cut Kohli’s innings brief at 1 in his next over had Litton not dropped a caretaker at brief midwicket. Kishan then teed off, permitting Kohli sufficient time to adapt to the speed and (variable) bounce of the Chattogram pitch.

Kishan leapt onto any tip of width outside off and went 4,6,4 versus Ebadot Hossain in the 12 th over. It ought to’ve been a portent, however Bangladesh didn’t check out the indications. They kept using Kishan width and kept copping serious penalty. And when they erred too straight and brief, Kishan strongly pulled them over the leg side. He likewise routinely swept around the crease to produce limits on both sides of the pitch with absurd ease.

Kishan reached his maiden ODI heap off 85 balls and required simply 18 more balls to zoom past150 Around this point, him getting that record double-century appeared unavoidable – a lot that Kohli even commemorated pre-maturely, believing the ball had actually taken a trip to the limit after Kishan had actually tapped a single to deep cover in the 35 th over. 4 balls later on, Kishan ended up being the 4th Indian gamer – after Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rohit – to publish an ODI double-hundred.

With still 15 overs left in India’s innings, Rohit’s 264 – and perhaps 300 – wasn’t beyond Kishan’s reach. Litton, nevertheless, finished a wise catch running around from long-off, off Taskin Ahmed, to stop Kishan in his tracks.

Kohli sent out Kishan off with pats on his head and took over from him in the middle. After getting to his fifty off 54 balls, he struck over the leading with higher liberty. When Taskin dug a brief ball outside off, Kohli might have chosen to pull him over midwicket. Rather, he held his shape and whacked him over mid-off. When Taskin went fuller and outside off in his next over, Kohli reached out and slapped him over the exact same mid-off area. He ultimately broke his ODI century dry spell and commemorated the landmark by introducing a Mustafizur Rahman offcutter over his head for 6.

Shakib Al Hasan then supplied Bangladesh some reprieve with the late wickets of Kohli and Washington, followed by 43 off 50 balls with the bat. He was the only Bangladesh batter to have actually got a step of the pitch and even fronted as much as quick brief balls from tearaway Umar Malik. Litton pitched in with 29 off 26 balls at the top, however Kishan’s opening salvo had actually put Bangladesh up until now behind that they were never ever in the chase.

Kuldeep Yadav, who had actually been contributed to the injury-hit team on the eve of the video game, put in a great shift, though he had just one wicket to his name. It was Axar, the other left-arm spinner, who had actually set off a batting collapse with the wickets of Anamul Haque Bijoy and Mushfiqur Rahim. Not even Mehidy might conserve Bangladesh on the day.
