India vs Bangladesh: Mehidy Hasan, Litton Das bring hosts back in the game as Kohli, Rahul flop

My Wishes December 24, 2022

Mehidy Hasan Miraz (right) was the wrecker-in-chief on Saturday as the spinner took three crucial wickets to leave Bangladesh struggling at 45/4 while chasing a paltry 145 on a deteriorating Mirpur surface on Day 3 of the India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test. AP

Earlier in the morning, Zakir Hasan scored a half century top of the order to take Bangladesh past 100 runs but wickets kept tumbling at the other end. By the time Zakir departed at 51, the hosts were 102/5. AP

It appeared to be a meek surrender from rest of the Bangladesh top-order as they were 113/6. AP

Litton Das, however, scored a crucial 73 and stitiched important stands with Nurul Hasan (31) and Taskin Ahmed (31) to take Bangladesh to a crucial 231 while leaving India 145 to chase. AP

India never looked in the hunt as chasing 145 looked massive with early wickets. Stand-in captain KL Rahul disappointed with a 2-run innings as Bangladesh counterpart Shakib Al Hasan removed him. AP

Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill suffered similar dismissals as Mehidy Hasan took the game to Indian top-order. AP

Mehidy did further damage as he claimed the prize scalp of Virat Kohli but the bowler's wild celebration didn't please the Indian batter, who had a few things to say to Bangladeshi before walking back to the pavilion. AP
