Currently, the Indian team is locking horns with Bangladesh at the VCA stadium in Nagapur for the third and final T20I of the series. After winning the toss, the Bangladesh skipper, Mahmudullah decided to bowl first citing the hosts lacking in the ability to defend the total. The host made one change as Manish Pandey came in the squad instead of Krunal Pandya. However, the visitors had a forced change as Mossadeek Hossain has to miss out and Mohammed Mithun replaced him.

India didn’t have the best of chances as they lost both their openers, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan inside the powerplay. However, Kl Rahul and Shreyas Iyer then decided to take the onus on them as they amassed as many as 59 runs for the third wicket before Rahul getting out in the 13th over after scoring 52 off 35 balls.
