Kedhar Jadhav was the hero for India

Liton Das seemed to be the early hero of this match, striking his maiden ODI century in a blazing 121. Unfortunately, the rest of the team struggled to put up runs, only managing to set India a target of 223.

Captain Rohit Sharma fell for 48, and wickets started to fall. Rayudu went soon after. Karthik and Dhoni consolidated for a bit, but when Dhoni knicked behind off Mustafizur, Bangladesh sensed an opening.

Jadhav fought on, as did Jadeja. Slowly but surely they marched closer to the target. Even Jadhav limped along, who found himself struggling to run singles. Eventually, he retired out.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar supported with the bat, crunching a crucial six off Rubel Hossain. But when Jadeja was caught behind, and Kumar also got out, out came a limping Kedhar Jadhav.

With Kuldeep as his partner, India needed 9 off 11 to take home the trophy.

Mahmadullah was set to bowl the final over of a thrilling match, India needing 6 off 6. As the pair ran for the singles, Bangladesh fans hoped for a Super Over.

With 1 off 1, Kedhar Jadhav, the valiant, limping warrior who never gave up, ran the leg bye off the last ball.

After 98.3 tense, chilling overs, India took home their record sixth Asia Cup Championship.
