He walked out to open the innings alongside Sanju Samson and was on strike to face the fourth ball of the first over. After playing a dot ball he hit a boundary to get his innings underway.
He was on strike again to face Tanzim Hasan Sakib on the first ball of the second over where he looked to pull the pacer over midwicket. However, he failed to get that one over the fielder and watch caught, ending his stay in the middle.
