Fans delirious after Bangladesh avenge World Cup loss
Mirpur (Bangladesh): Before the match, the Bangladesh cricket team remained tight-lipped about how much they wanted to avenge their defeat of this year’s World Cup quarterfinal to India.
But the fans revelling at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium following the victory in Thursday’s One-Day International have clearly made up for that, reports bdnews.24.com.
Bangladesh, riding on a marvellous five-wicket haul by debutant Mustafizur Rahman, outclassed India by 79 runs in the first ODI here on Thursday.
Earlier, Bangladesh batsmen posted an impressive 307 with some brilliant strokeplay and gritty accumulation of runs.
All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan claimed the last wicket only to trigger wild celebrations in the stadium and throughout the country that were already set in motion by skipper Mashrafe Mortaza when he took out Mohit Sharma in the 42nd over as ninth Indian wicket.
The win gave the hosts a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
