IND VS BAN - 3rd T20I, Bangladesh tour of India, 2024

Suryakumar Yadav:

Hardik Pandya | Player of the Series: The kind of freedom the skipper and the coach has given, it has been fantastic. This sport, if you can enjoy that;s the way you can maximise. Body has been fantastic, God has been kind to help me out. The process continues. (His best shot today) Over the covers when I just chipped it.

Sanju Samson | Player of the Match: The dressing room energy and the boys are happy for me. It can get frustrating, I could have done much better. With lots of experience, I know how to deal with the pressure. Playing for the country, you come in with a lot of pressure. That pressure was there, I wanted to perform. I kept reminding myself that I should stick to my basics. In the last series I got two ducks. The team management backed me. I have been trying to do something like this (five sixes in an over), I was chasing that and it happened today.

Najmul Hossain Shanto: We didn't play our best cricket. We didn't execute our plans as a batting unit in all the three matches. Today all the bowlers didn't bowl well. We should believe in ourselves that we can compete. (Positives) The way Hridoy batted today was impressive. The top-order batsmen have to improve a lot.

Ravi Bishnoi: Feeling great with this (50 T20I wickets) small milestone. Is good pressure when you have a healthy competition in the team. I wanted to make the most of this opportunity. It feels good to see the game from the outside as well. You need to work on yourself and work on things accordingly. I had a break for a few days, so I tried to make the most of it.

22:42 Local Time, 17:12 GMT, 22:42 IST: The fireworks go off in Hyderabad after this demolition job from the hosts. A complete mismatch! Everything went right for the home team. India won the toss, batted first again and posted their highest T20I total - a mammoth 297. Sanju Samson wasted little time to get going and blasted a scintillating century. SKY played a brilliant knock as well but his knock of 75(35) was completely eclipsed by Samson's and that tells you how classy that knock was from the Indian opener. Hardik and Parag continued to hit sixes for fun as India got close to 300 in their quota of 20 overs. In reply, Bangladesh lost Emon off the very first ball. Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy batted well. The former struck five successive fours off Nitish and the latter notched up a fifty. They forged a fifty stand for the half-century stand for the fourth wicket but the result was a foregone conclusion.

Nitish Reddy to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 1 run, pace off, full and outside off, Sakib jams it to long-on. India whitewash Bangladesh with this 133-run win

Nitish Reddy to Towhid Hridoy, 1 run, low full toss, Hridoy miscues the loft as it comes off the toe-end of the bat. Parag charges in from long-on and dives forward. Not sure if it carried. Excellent effort though and even Nitish applauds

Nitish Reddy to Towhid Hridoy, no run, 112.7kph, off-cutter, Hridoy shapes to club it over midwicket, misses and gets hit on the body

Nitish Reddy to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 1 run, 131.1kph, pitched up, drilled to long-on

Nitish Reddy to Towhid Hridoy, 1 run, cutter into the deck, pulled to deep midwicket and the batters decide against the second

Nitish Reddy to Towhid Hridoy, FOUR, slow, short and wide of off, Towhid Hridoy slaps it over point. Easy pickings as there was no fielder in the deep on the off-side

Nitish Reddy [2.0-0-23-1] is back into the attack

Mayank Yadav to Towhid Hridoy, 1 run, 109.6kph, slower ball, chopped to short third man off the under-edge. There's a direct-hit at the keeper's end and the Indians are excited. The TV umpire is summoned and Sakib is in

Mayank Yadav to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 1 run, high full toss, Sakib swings across the line an outside-edges to third man

Mayank Yadav to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, no run, bouncer, another swing and miss from Sakib
