"Don't Know How To Score 180 Runs": Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto Throws Bangladesh Under The Bus

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has candidly admitted that his team doesn't know how to consistently post 180 plus totals in a T20 game. Batting has been Bangladesh's weak link for a while, especially their approach in the powerplay. They struggled to 39 for two in six overs on Sunday night before managing a below par 127. India chased that down in just 11.5 overs to go 1-0 up in the series.

Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto acknowledged Bangladesh's shortcoming with the bat and the failure to give bowlers enough runs to defend during their 7-wicket defeat in the T20I series opener against India on Sunday. The aggression that was displayed by the Test team in Kanpur certainly affected India's young T20I team. After being put to bat, Bangladesh batters toiled hard to put runs on the board while facing a young Indian bowling side. The powerplay turned out to be a dry spell with the bat for Bangladesh. The openers misfired in their attempt to pile up runs on the board. Arshdeep Singh stung Bangladesh twice as the visitors crawled their way to 39/2 after the first six overs.

We Walked The Talk As Per Decisions Taken At Team Meeting: Suryakumar Yadav

India captain Suryakumar Yadav was very pleased with his men for "walking the talk" in terms of executing whatever was decided at the team meeting, following an emphatic seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the opening T20I on Sunday. The two bowling heroes -- Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy -- set up the win by hunting down the 'Tigers' for 127 and then Sanju Samson (29), Suryakumar Yadav (29) and Hardik Pandya (39 not out) finished the game in just 11.5 overs. "We just tried to back our skills and what we decided in the team meeting, we just walked the talk. The way we batted, showed our character," Suryakumar said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

Rohit Sharma Reveals How Rishabh Pant's Masterplan Helped India Beat South Africa In T20 WC Final

The T20 World Cup 2024 final is still fresh in the minds of fans.

However, captain Rohit Sharma has now revealed another factor that played a big role in India's win. During his appearance on Kapil Sharma's comedy show, Rohit revealed that wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant thought of a brilliant ploy to slow down things in the middle, helping India disrupt South Africa's rhythm which turned tide in India's favour.

Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy termed his comeback into the India side after three long years as a "rebirth" and "emotional moment" even as he thanked legendary R Ashwin for helping him grow in confidence during last edition of Tamil Nadu Premier League. India chased down Bangladesh's meagre total of 127 with 49 balls to spare after Varun's fine spell of 3/31 that left the visitors reeling, as the Suryakumar Yadav's side took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

It feels like a rebirth, I just want to stick to the process, that's what I have been following in the IPL as well," Varun told broadcasters 'Jio Cinema' after the match.

"When I Was Playing Under Rohit Sharma...": Suryakumar Yadav On Becoming Captain In IPL

Suryakumar Yadav is enjoying his time as India T20 captain and dropped enough hints on Saturday about his ambitions of leading an IPL franchise is near future. Mumbai Indians would ideally like to retain Suryakumar but being a current India captain, it would also be interesting as to what is his expectation from the five-time champion outfit. Hardik Pandya grabbed the limelight last year when MI removed Rohit Sharma unceremoniously to put the colourful Baroda all-rounder on the hot seat, the move that backfired badly.
