India’s 50-run win over Bangladesh was their second win in two games in the Super-8 stage of the T20 World Cup. The victory puts the Men in Blue within touching distance of making it to the semi-finals of the tournament while Bangladesh are in a precarious position as far as the semi-finals race is concerned.

Meanwhile, in a funny moment, Virat Kohli did something that had the fans in splits. Rishad Hossain’s huge six led the ball underneath a structure placed outside the boundary. Kohli did not hesitate as he scrambled under and went looking for the ball.

Speaking of the match, Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bowl and the decision backfired. India posted 196 and did not face much trouble against the Bangladeshi bowling unit. Rohit Sharma began well and scored 23 off just 11 balls. Virat Kohli looked at easy as he scored 37 runs from 28 balls with one four and three sixes.
