#2 Able assistance from Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina

Two southpaws who have been amongst the runs throughout the series, Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina played the supporting roles to perfection, revolving around Rohit Sharma's knock to make sure that Bangladesh's target was a hefty one.

Dhawan started off in fine fashion, helping India reach their fifty in the seventh over itself, executing his trademark strokes in the powerplays to get the team off to a flier. By the time Dhawan departed, the score was already 70, inside the half-way mark of the innings.

Suresh Raina then did what he does best, coming in all guns blazing and providing some much-needed fireworks even as Rohit slowly found his form, playing an enterprising knock of 47 off just 30 deliveries, studded with five fours and two sixes, to launch the innings past the 150-run mark.
