Hardik Pandya celebrating India’s victory against Bangladesh.
Drama, emotions and what not. India pulled off a dramatic one run victory to stay alive in the World T20.
Watch What’s Trending Now!
It was more of a self destruction by Bangladesh as they lost the match after needing 2 runs from 3 balls. Pandya got two wickets from two full tosses in the last over and Dhoni affected a Jonty Rhodes style run out on the final ball to send the crowd into frenzy.
The range of emotions the crowd have gone through, phew! From an atmosphere resembling a fighting pit, it turned into a cemetery and then back. India held their nerves and those of a billion others, and scraped through. Defending an at-best fighting total, Dhoni faced plenty of problems in the field which included a bevy of catches being dropped, the pitch getting slightly better, but the most prominent of all was that he didn’t have 5 Ashwins. He tried his best, effected a couple of brilliant stumpings, spaced out the overs of his two major spinners as he thought appropriate, but still Bangladesh were ahead right through. That is, till the final 3 balls.

Dhoni can give the final over to the Ambani kid and India would still win

Apparently last ball was just good. What an escape act by India. How Bangladesh will curse those champagne shots at the end.

Both Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur are experienced batsmen. But their experience has largely been losing to India.#IndvsBan

A victory in #IndvsBan that India can hardly be proud of. Hanging in by the skin of their teeth. Really hope they do better against Aussies.
