Team India dished out a disappointing batting performance against Bangladesh in Dhaka as they were bundled out for just 186 in 41.2 overs. The visitors simply didn't get any momentum in their innings as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

From 152/4, the Men in Blue slumped to 156/8 and apart from KL Rahul's 73, no other batter could withstand the pressure applied by the Bangladesh bowlers. Shakib Al Hasan (5/36) and Ebadot Hossain (4/47) were simply outstanding and have put the hosts in a great position to win the game.

Fans on Twitter were disappointed with the way India batted and here's how they reacted:


India's weakness against quality spin was exposed

Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli all fell quite early as the Men in Blue were almost straightaway pushed onto the backfoot. Dhawan fell to some tight bowling from Mehidy Hasan, while Shakib sent back both Rohit and Kohli in the span of three deliveries.

Shreyas Iyer did try to be positive, but his issues against the short ball came back to haunt him once again. The likes of Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur couldn't grab the opportunity with the bat as they failed to give KL Rahul that much-needed support,

Rahul played some delightful shots and scored a fighting half-century, but even he departed while trying to take his team past the 200-run mark. The Men in Blue will need to bowl out of their skins to defend 187 and take a 1-0 lead.

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Kuldeep Sen, Mohammed Siraj.

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das (c), Anamul Haque, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain.
