The first ODI between Bangladesh and India at Dhaka saw the hosts snatch a win from the jaws of defeat as Mehidy Hasan Miraz starred with the bat, scoring 38* and added 51* runs with Mustafizur Rahman for the 10th wicket as they chased down 187 runs with one wicket in hand.
Earlier 5/36 from Shakib Al Hasan and four wickets by Ebadot Hossain rattled the Indian batting lineup on a sluggish pitch, bowling them out for 186 runs. For India, KL Rahul top-scored with 73 runs.
In reply, stand-in captain Litton Das made 41 and Shakib made 29 runs before Indian bowlers picked wickets in a heap. Bangladesh needed more than 50 runs when Mustafizur came out to bat and he remained unbeaten on 10, as Indian bowlers and fielders lost the plot in death overs as Mehidy rattled off boundaries, taking them to a famed victory.
During the closing stages of the match, as India fancied their chances of a win, something interesting was seen as Indian bowlers tried to bounce out the Bangladesh batters, and former captain Virat Kohli stood at short leg with a helmet on.
This is usually a position not occupied by a senior player and given to younger players in the team and hence fans were surprised to see Kohli. Cricket lovers hailed Kohli for his commitment to the team.
Here is how the fans reacted to Kohli standing at short-leg:
