IND vs BAN T20 World Cup - 2022
This match proved to be a thriller, as Bangladesh gave an incredibly tough fight to a misfiring Indian team.
Batting first, India rode on half-centuries from KL Rahul (50 off 32) and Virat Kohli (64* off 44) to post what looked like a formidable total of 6/184 in 20 overs.
However, Litton Das’ brutal counterattack in the powerplay and succeeding rain gave the Men in Blue a mighty scare, as Bangladesh were ahead viz-a-viz the DLS par score.
However, the game eventually started and Bangladesh were set a revised target of 150 in 16 overs. KL Rahul’s brilliant throw to run out Litton Das immediately after the break proved to be the turning point of the match as the Indian bowlers pulled the game back in their side’s favour, eventually leading the Men in Blue to a tense five-run win.

MS Dhoni running in with a glove in one hand and a ball in the other is a much-rejoiced picture for any Indian fan.
Bangladesh needed just two runs to win in three balls and they lost three wickets, two to Hardik Pandya and then via a famous run-out by Dhoni.
It was a group-stage encounter in Bengaluru, where Team India scored 146/7 and were placed in a precarious position towards the end of the second innings. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah were taking the Men in Green over the line when the former snapped. He ended up giving a straightforward catch to Shikhar Dhawan and Mahmudullah followed suit as he made the same mistake and Ravindra Jadeja completed a magnificent diving catch at deep mid-wicket. The final run-out sealed the deal as the Indians won by one run.

Bangladesh batted first and put on 138 runs on the board with Anamul Haque (44 off 43) and Mahmudullah (33* off 23) showing them the way. Amit Mishra picked 3/26 and gave India the momentum to go out there and chase the total down. Virat Kohli was in his prime as the chase master and he showed us why with a 50-ball unbeaten 57 helped by Rohit Sharma’s 56 off 44 deliveries to take India home comfortably. MS Dhoni also came in at No. 4 for some treats scoring 22 runs off 12 balls without getting out.
