India and Bangladesh clashed once again in the T20 cricket and the outcome remained the same. However, it wasn't a cakewalk for India. Bangladesh gave India a tough fight in the final of Nidahas Trophy 2018 and the match proved to be a thriller of the highest order.
Thanks to Dinesh Karthik, who showed nerves of steel and finished the game with a six when India needed five of the last delivery. No team has successfully chased down more than one run on the final ball in a T20 final before this game. Karthik scored 29* off 8 balls and won the Man of the match award.
India needed 34 off 12 balls. All credits to Karthik, who kept himself calm even after a poor show on the other end by Vijay Shankar and clinched the victory for India.
It is a very well known fact that whole India watches cricket and they all get affected by every action on the 22 yard pitch. Not only sportspersons, Bollywood stars too reacted to the thrilling win.
Ranveer Singh, who can be seen live tweeting football match too often, tweeted during India's nail-biting win.
