India Look To Continue Robust Record Against Bangladesh In Men's Football

On Tuesday, March 25, India and Bangladesh will face off for the 29th time in international football. The subcontinental rivalry, perhaps the biggest in the region, has been dominated by the Blue Tigers, who have won 14 contests -- including the first one at the 1978 Asian Games -- lost just four, and 10 have ended in draws, as per the AIFF Media Team. The last decade or so has seen plenty of dramatic moments whenever the neighbours have clashed - be it Adil Khan's 88th-minute header that erupted the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in 2019, or Sunil Chhetri's 95th-minute free-kick in the 2013 SAFF Championship.

After Thumping Win Over Mumbai Indians, CSK Star Rachin Ravindra Calls This Player "World Class". Not MS Dhoni

Chennai Super Kings hero Rachin Ravindra credited the team's spinners, led by the "world-class" Ravichandran Ashwin, for their comprehensive win over Mumbai Indians, saying the depth in spin gives them the right balance, covering any off-days from individual bowlers. While Ashwin delivered a tidy 1/31, it was Afghanistan's Noor Ahmad who stole the limelight with a brilliant 4 for 18, helping restrict MI to 155-9. "Ash (Ashwin) is a world-class performer. I played a bit against him, he brings a lot of experience, he brings a lot of his cricket knowledge, the way he speaks about spin bowling, the tips he gives," Ravindra said at the post-match press conference after CSK's four-wicket win.

Gaikwad, batting at three, and Ravindra struck sublime fifties to set up a four wicket win for CSK over Mumbai Indians.
