When Suresh Raina trolled Bangladesh's early celebration

Suresh Raina had a good game with both bat and ball for India

India's win against Bangladesh in the World T20 was one of the best the cricketing world has witnessed in the recent past. The pendulum swung India's way in the very last to give the home side a one-run win and keep them alive in the tournament.

Needing 11 to win from the last over of the match, Indian captain MS Dhoni had to hand the ball to the inexperienced Hardik Pandya. Pandya, although a young man full of confidence, has not had the best of tournaments as his straying line and length has resulted in him leaking away runs easily.

After Bangladesh's finisher, Mahmudullah scored a single off the first ball, the presure was on an out-of-form Mushfiqur Rahim to take his team across the finishing line and cause a major upset. Rahim did just that as he hit two boundaries off the next two balls bringing the equation to 2 runs from 3 balls.

Follwing his second boundary, Rahim was ecstatic and punched the air in celebration expecting to guide his side to an easy victory. However, what followed was one of the most dramatic finishes to a game.

Going for the big emphatic finish, Rahim could only find the fielder at mid-wicket and put his side under pressure with 2 to win off 2 balls. With Mahmudullah on strike, Bangladesh fans would have still expected a win. But, the pressure got to even Mahmudullah and he holed it out to mid-wicket.

Bangladesh went onto lose the match and give India an unbelievable one-run win sending the Indian players and fans into delirium.

Suresh Raina had a good game as he top-scored for India with a 24-bal 30 and picked up one wicket with the ball. The southpaw took to Twitter after the match to make a statement regarding Rahim's and Mahmudullah's early celebration and also praised India's never say die attitude.
