Bangladesh have registered a convincing win over India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday on the back of a blistering knock from the man of the match Mushifqur Rahim who said that there was “nothing like” beating India in India. His quickfire 60 off 43 balls helped the visitors chase down the total of 148 with seven wickets in hand. During the post-match presentation ceremony, he shared his happiness as well.

“When we were playing in front of a huge crowd, and when the team needs it, nothing like playing an innings like that. Nothing like beating India in India, so this means a lot to me. Soumya and I had a chat, and we thought of dragging the game deep, and any of the quicks could have been targeted for 15-20 in an over because the spinners got a lot of assistance so it was hard to hit them,” he said.

Mushfiqur Rahim was surprisingly dropped by Krunal Pandya on the boundary line, and he took the advantage as he hit Khaleel Ahmed for 18 runs in the next over which included four consecutive boundaries to ease the pressure and leave Bangladesh needing only four runs in the last over to win the match.

“Naim also played really well at the start. I’m trying my best to evolve as a cricketer, and I will try to perform in each and every game for Bangladesh,” he concluded.

Bangladesh will face India in the second T20I at Rajkot on Thursday.
