[Watch] Tanzim Hasan castles well-set Virat Kohli in IND vs BAN T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 match
Bangladesh young pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib struck a crucial blow against Team India in the crucial T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 match, dismissing Virat Kohli. It came in the clash in Antigua on Saturday, June 22. The right-arm speedster was successful in clattering the stumps as the right-handed batter stepped out to hit the ball over the top.
The dismissal occurred in the ninth over of the innings as Tanzim came on for his second after conceding only 6 in his first. The former Indian captain looked well set, having struck a maximum in the previous over sent down by Rishad Hossain. The ball by the 21-year-old was likely a slower off-cutter and Kohli was through the shot a bit early, thereby hearing the death rattle behind him.
However, the 35-year-old right-hander's 37 proved to be his highest score in this year's T20 World Cup after starting the tournament on a scratchy note. Kohli, who has been prolific in T20 World Cup history, registered single-figure scores in the first three matches against Ireland, Pakistan, and USA. He scored a run-a-ball 24 against Afghanistan before Rashid Khan got the better of him.
Suryakumar Yadav follows Virat Kohli in the same over as Team India in a spot of bother
The in-form Suryakumar Yadav followed the veteran batter to the hut as Tanzim bagged two massive scalps in his second over. The quick dismissals put the Men in Blue in a spot of bother. Suryakumar started his innings with a majestic six over short-fine leg. However, a rising delivery outside off-stump from the right-arm pacer drew a nick from the 33-year-old to the wicketkeeper.
Suryakumar was the top-scorer on a tricky wicket against Afghanistan in the previous game. He slammed 53 off 28 deliveries to lift India to a match-winning total of 181/8. While the Men in Blue won by 47 runs in their last game, Bangladesh are coming off a 28-run defeat to Australia.
