"Make KL Rahul permanent captain"- Top 10 funny memes after Team India decimates Bangladesh in the 3rd ODI
Team India registered a consolation victory in the final ODI of the three-match series against Bangladesh on Saturday, December 10, at Chattogram. The hosts bagged the series by a 2-1 margin.
After being asked to bat first, Men in Blue amassed a mammoth total of 409/8, courtesy of a blistering double century from Ishan Kishan (210). Virat Kohli (113) played the perfect foil to him by notching up his 44th ODI ton.
At one stage, India looked well on course to reach 450. However, middle-order batters failed to build on the platform laid down by Kishan and Kohli as the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals in the death overs.
In response, Bangladesh got off to a brisk start as skipper Litton Das (29) tried to counterattack. Axar Patel broke a promising 33-run opening stand by dismissing Anamul Haque in the 5th over. Das also followed his opening partner to the pavilion soon after, leaving his side in a heap of trouble.
Shakib Al Hasan (43 off 50 balls) tried to anchor the innings but Tigers kept losing his partners at the other end. With the required run rate increasing exponentially with each passing over, he perished in the 23rd over while trying to up the ante.
Bangladesh's batting line-up collapsed like a pack of cards from there as Indian bowlers skittled them out for 182 in just 34 overs. Team India dominated the whole contest in all departments and won the match comprehensively by a massive margin of 227 runs.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, skipper KL Rahul reviewed his team's performance in the contest and said:
"It was expected from us as a team, it was brilliant to see Virat and Kishan batted today and they setup the game for us and the bowlers did the job for us.
"Scores don't suggest that, from the ball one Ishan was looking to be aggressive, he's grabbed the opportunity with both thnds, getting a double hundred in an ODI is not easy and Virat at the other end with his wealth of experience, guiding him was just brilliant to see."
