"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.

"T20 Is Not Only About Hitting": Bangladesh Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto Addresses Batters' Struggle In 1st T20I

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.

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. "After three long years, it was definitely emotional for me. Feels nice to be back in the Blues. 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.
