From colossal failure in SA to WI T20I series loss: Team India's shocking LOWS in Rahul Dravid's tenure

India's No. 3 Cheteshwar Pujara revealed the reason behind&nbsp;team management's plan to promote Axar Patel ahead of Virat Kohli in the batting order during their nervy 145-run chase versus Bangladesh in the just-concluded second and final Test in Dhaka. With India being reduced to 12 for 2 in the final session on Day 3, many expected Kohli to walk out at his usual batting slot; i.e. No. 4.

Nonetheless, the Rahul Dravid-led team management surprised one and all and sent out Axar. Sunil Gavaskar, the former Indian opener-turned-commentator, wasn't impressed with the move and told on Sony Sports, "It didn't send a good message to Kohli. He is the best batsman in the world. Unless Kohli himself asked for it, then it's a different matter. We don't know what happened in the changing room. But it's hard to understand. Axar has played well, of course."

Jadeja,&nbsp;part of the Hindi panel, opined, "He is the world's best player. 15 overs were left. Saba Karim said it could have been because of the left-right combination, which is an obvious thought, but then I feel - did Rishabh Pant take a sleeping pill? I will also say that it is easy for us to say this from here; we don't know if someone was not feeling well."

Pujara, who won&nbsp;the Player-of-the-Series award, opened up on the move after the series triumph. Talking to the broadcasters, he gave an insight behind Axar's promotion and said, "It was a very good move because among their three strike bowlers, two were left-arm spinners. Axar is a left-hander, so he was sent to tackle them and to have a batter who can bat sensibly in the initial period against the Kookaburra ball. It was a crucial move for us. That was an important phase of the game where we didn't want to lose too many wickets in the evening, and he could have batted cautiously. So I was not surprised. When you are chasing a 145-run total, every run is important, and the way he batted, his innings was very valuable for us."

The left-handed Axar played a cautious 69-ball 34 whereas Kohli departed for 1 during India's three-wicket win over the Bangla Tigers. Shreyas Iyer's 29 not out and R Ashwin's 62-ball 42* held their nerves and took India home after they were reeling at 74-7 in the morning session of Day 4.

BAN vs IND: 'He was sent to...' - Pujara on why Axar Patel was promoted ahead of Virat Kohli in 2nd Test

The Indian team ended&nbsp;2022 with a Test series win over Bangladesh in Dhaka on Sunday, December 25th.&nbsp;On day four of the second Test, Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer stitched a 71-run stand for the eighth wicket to ensure India romps home&nbsp;with three wickets in hand.

Chasing 145 in the fourth innings on a tricky track, India were in a spot of bother having lost four wickets inside 50 runs at stumps on day three. The start of day four wasn't pleasing either as they lost set-batter Axar Patel, first-innings hero Rishabh Pant and night-watchman Jaydev Unadkat quite early. With India reeling at 74-7 at one stage, it did look like they might head home without winning a series on this tour, and losing a test to Bangladesh.

Ashwin and Iyer, however, then took it upon themselves to rescue India by playing attacking yet cautious cricket. With more close-in fielders surrounding them, both could risk and play some lofted shots; they did the same and took the attack to the opposition. Ashwin, who is known for having a huge stomach for fight proved once again what he can do with the bat for India. Courtesy a 71-run stand for the eighth wicket, Ashwin and Iyer saw India clinch the second Test and the series 2-0.

For Bangladesh, all-rounder Mehidy Hasan picked up a five-for in the second innings, including the big scalps of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and even Rishabh Pant.

Shreyas Iyer, on the other hand, stood out as the star performer for team India not only in this match but across both Tests. Having scored an impressive 87 in the first innings followed by an unbeaten 29 in the second, Iyer pressed his case for the upcoming Australia series at home next year.

While Ashwin was awarded the Player of the Match, India’s number 3 Cheteshwar Pujara was named the Player of the Series.

BAN vs IND 2022: India beat Bangladesh by 3 wickets in Dhaka Test, clinch series 2-0

India captain Rohit Sharma is ruled out the second Test against Bangladesh scheduled to begin on December 22nd in Mirpur. Rohit, who was nursing a thumb injury he sustained during the ODI series, missed the first Test in Chattogram. In his absence, KL led the team&nbsp;and will remain the skipper for the second Test as well.

On Monday, December 19th it was reported that Rohit Sharma hasn’t fully recovered from his thumb injury and thus didn’t travel to Bangladesh for the final Test. With India already 1-0 up in the series, courtesy of a 188-run win in the 1st Test, and looking at the future assignments, the selection committee and team management decided to rest Rohit. Rohit Sharma is also believed to have had a net session in Mumbai but he felt stiffness while fielding that further raised some doubts.

It was during the 2nd ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka when Rohit injured his thumb while fielding in the first innings. In the second innings when most of the wickets were down and India was even staring at a consecutive loss, which eventually happened, Rohit came out to bat and scored a quickfire fifty. His knock couldn’t avoid the inevitable as India lost the match by 5 runs and also the ODI series.

Meanwhile, the first Test between India and Bangladesh ended inside four days with the visitors winning the match by 188 runs. While Shubman Gill scored his maiden hundred in the second innings, Chesteshwar Pujara also ended his century-drought with an unbeaten 102.

However, the star of the match was Kuldeep Yadav, who returned to the Test team after a gap of nearly 22 months. Kuldeep contributed with both bat and ball as he scored 40 in the 1st innings and picked up eight wickets in the match, including a five-for in the first innings.

BAN vs IND 2022: Big blow to India as injured Rohit Sharma ruled out of Dhaka Test

India captain Rohit Sharma is currently injured and out of the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. Rohit suffered a finger injury during the 2nd ODI in Dhaka and upon consulting the private doctor in Mumbai he was advised rest. The recent reports, however, have claimed that Rohit could get fit in time for the 2nd Test, starting December 22nd and will also be available for selection. If that happens, who should be sitting out, the current stand-in skipper KL Rahul or the century-scorer in the ongoing Test Shubman Gill? India commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has an answer.

Speaking to Sony Sports Network, Sanjay said if Rohit is fit and selected for the second Test, KL being the preferred opener could well retain his place&nbsp;while Shubman Gill who just scored his maiden Test ton could be benched.

"This guy (Gill) has got a hundred, he has looked good. Let’s imagine if Rohit Sharma is fit, KL Rahul and Rohit are your first-choice openers; you have to go back to Rohit Sharma. He is your captain. KL Rahul is not getting as many runs as he would like but they are not going to leave KL Rahul out," Sanjay said.

Even in the past we have seen players getting benched or worse dropped after producing excellent performances in their previous innings. The best example is that of Karun Nair, who despite scoring his maiden triple hundred against England in Chennai, 2016 was benched for incoming Ajinkya Rahane for the following Test in Mumbai.

Giving an example of the same, the former India player said, "Shubman Gill may have to sit out. Ajinkya Rahane, it happened with him once, I think. It has happened before Indian cricket."

Meanwhile, there is no confirmation as to whether will Rohit Sharma return for the second Test or not.

In the ongoing first Test match, Bangladesh are chasing 493 and are currently reeling at 118 for 0 at lunch on day 4 in Chattogram.

BAN vs IND 2022: If Rohit Sharma returns, Shubman Gill might have to sit out, opines Sanjay Manjrekar

Former opener Wasim Jaffer feels current young batter Shubman Gill could be the next big thing in Indian cricket after Virat Kohli. Gill who scored his maiden Test hundred in the second innings of the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh garnered attention from all over for his superb show. The right-handed batter played some classic shots en-route&nbsp;to his first century in this format, and Jaffer, who has been following Gill's career closely said with this hundred the monkey is off his back finally.

Jaffer said there is no doubt that Shubman is a class player, having showed already what he is capable in the past few series; Wasim&nbsp;added he is happy for the youngster and is sure that Gill will be the next big thing after legendary Virat Kohli in Indian cricket.

Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Wasim said, "It is good that it came. He has missed out on a couple of opportunities before, but I am happy this monkey is off his back. He is a class player, I will probably go ahead and say that after Virat Kohli, he is the next big batter to come out of the Indian camp.”

Jaffer also feels Gill is an all-format player, and that given his&nbsp;style of play, Gill&nbsp;could be adjusted into the middle-order as well.

“He is a three-format player and I am hoping to see a lot more good things from Shubman Gill,” Jaffer added.&nbsp;“He has played in the middle order for his state team and he will get used to it. Openers getting slotted in the middle order is not a big deal because you are used to playing spin. It is the other way around which can trouble because when a middle order player is used as an opener, he is not used to playing the hard new ball on a fresh pitch. If Gill is slotted to bat in No.5 or any other position, I think he will be well suited to play there. As an opener, when you play bigger innings you play the old ball and the spinners on a wearing pitch. So I am pretty sure he will get used to it easily.”

Meanwhile, despite scoring a superb hundred in the second innings, Gill could well be benched for the second Test if Rohit Sharma is deemed fit and available for selection. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ban-vs-ind-2022-if-rohit-sharma-returns-shubman-gill-might-have-to-sit-out-opines-sanjay-manjrekar-543892">As per India commentator, Sanjay Manjrekar, there is higher of KL Rahul retaining his place in the XI while Gill could pave way for Rohit</a>.

'He will be the next big batter from India after Virat Kohli' - Wasim Jaffer heaps praises on youngster

India captain Rohit Sharma is likely to return for the second Test against Bangladesh, starting December 22nd in Mirpur, sources close to ANI have&nbsp;confirmed. The veteran batter&nbsp;injured his finger during the 2nd ODI against Bangladesh and got ruled out of the following One-Dayer and the ongoing 1st Test. However, recent reports suggest that Rohit went for his rehab in Mumbai and is likely to get fit in time for the second Test.

Even after hurting his finger during the 2nd ODI, Rohit came out to bat in the second innings and smashed a quick-fire fifty but couldn’t inspire his team to a win. After the game, Rohit was advised to consult a doctor in Mumbai for the same, who then suggested him to take proper rest and avoid cricket until he gets fully fit. Upon regaining full fitness, Rohit is likely to fly&nbsp;to Bangladesh for the Mirpur game.

In his absence, KL Rahul was named as the stand-in skipper for the first Test. Across both innings Rahul scored 22 and 23 runs, respectively, while his partner Shubman Gill completed his maiden Test hundred in the second inning. Alongside him, Cheteshwar Pujara also ended his century drought in Tests with a magnificent 102* off 130 balls with 13 fours.

On the other hand, unorthodox leggie Kuldeep Yadav made a stunning comeback to Test cricket after nearly 22 months. Upon his return, Kuldeep first scored 40 runs in the first innings and then registered best figures by an Indian spinner against Bangladesh in Tests (5-40). With this, he also became the third Indian spinner after Ravichandran&nbsp;Ashwin and Sunil Joshi to take a five-for against Bangladesh in red-ball cricket.

Currently, Bangladesh is chasing 493 and are reeling at 42-0 at stumps on day 3.

BAN vs IND 2022: India captain Rohit Sharma likely to return for 2nd Test – Reports

Virat Kohli had had an eventful 2022. He started the year by leading India in the three Tests versus hosts South Africa and after the 2-1 series loss, he stepped aside from the red-ball captaincy after having resigned as the T20I skipper and being sacked as the ODI captain. His fallout with the BCCI top management became a huge talking point. After that, the Indian cricket fans desperately waited for Kohli's return to form. While he did manage few good scores, he remained below-par especially during IPL 2022, India tour of England before being rested for the white-ball tour of West Indies.

Following the white-ball series versus the Windies, Kohli returned to the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2022 edition, in the UAE, where he ended his two-year-long century drought and ended as the second-highest run-getter. Since then, he has remained among runs -- especially in the shortest format of the game. He ended as the highest run-getter in the 2022 T20 World Cup, in Australia, with&nbsp;296 runs in six matches and recently scored his first ODI ton, since August 2019, during the ongoing Bangladesh tour. Recently, in a video shared by BCCI’s official Twitter handle on Thursday (December 15), Indian head coach Rahul Dravid&nbsp;opened up on Kohli and heaped praise on him for his&nbsp;hard work and approach towards the game. Dravid, in particular, lauded the former Indian captain for his preparation levels, which can be a great lesson for youngsters.

Dravid said, "Virat has an incredible template. For me, he has been one of the standouts over the last year and a half. Just watch the way he trains and prepares. That never changes with respect to whether he is doing well or not. I think that is a great lesson for a lot of young players coming into the group."

"He (Virat) knows when to be aggressive and when to control the game, it's incredible to watch and a good sign for us if he can build up. Virat has an incredible template in 50-over cricket. His record speaks for itself. It's phenomenal the number of games he's played," the head coach&nbsp;added.

At present, the Kohli-starrer Indian team is involved in the Test series opener versus Bangladesh in Chattogram. KL Rahul-led India are in the driver's seat at stumps on Day 3, with the Bangla Tigers being 42 for no loss in pursuit of a mammoth 513.

Virat Kohli had had an eventful 2022. He started the year by leading India in the three Tests versus hosts South Africa and after the 2-1 series loss, he stepped aside from the red-ball captaincy after having resigned as the T20I skipper and being sacked as the ODI captain.

Virat Kohli had had an eventful 2022. He started the year by leading India in the three Tests versus hosts South Africa and after the 2-1 series loss, he stepped aside from the red-ball captaincy after having resigned as the T20I skipper and being sacked as the ODI captain. His fallout with the BCCI top management became a huge talking point. After that, the Indian cricket fans desperately waited for Kohli's return to form. While he did manage few good scores, he remained below-par especially during IPL 2022, India tour of England before being rested for the white-ball tour of West Indies. Following the white-ball series versus the Windies, Kohli returned to the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2022 edition, in the UAE, where he ended his two-year-long century drought and ended as the second-highest run-getter. Since then, he has remained among runs -- especially in the shortest format of the game. He ended as the highest run-getter in the 2022 T20 World Cup, in Australia, with 296 runs in six matches and recently scored his first ODI ton, since August 2019, during the ongoing Bangladesh tour. Recently, in a video shared by BCCI’s official Twitter handle on Thursday (December 15), Indian head coach Rahul Dravid opened up on Kohli and heaped praise on him for his hard work and approach towards the game. Dravid, in particular, lauded the former Indian captain for his preparation levels, which can be a great lesson for youngsters. Dravid said, "Virat has an incredible template. For me, he has been one of the standouts over the last year and a half. Just watch the way he trains and prepares. That never changes with respect to whether he is doing well or not. I think that is a great lesson for a lot of young players coming into the group."

Unorthodox leg-spinner India's Kuldeep Yadav had a dream outing on day 2 of the 1st Test against Bangladesh. Firstly, he scored 40 runs batting alongside Ravichandran Ashwin and then he picked up 4 wickets, reducing Bangladesh to 133-8 at stumps.

Kuldeep, who had been out of contention for over a year now, made a stunning return to the side. After having a confidence-boosting day out on Thursday, Kuldeep while attending the presser admitted he was nervous bowling his first two overs. However, after settling down and picking up his first wicket, he got into his groove and teared into Bangladesh's middle and lower order.

"Of course, I was a bit nervous in the first two overs, was a bit lucky to get the first wicket of the first over and brought the momentum back to our side. After a couple of overs, I settled in, tried to mix the pace and variation, tried to bowl from over the wicket and around the wicket, getting proper turn and was loving it in the middle," said Kuldeep Yadav.

Earlier, for the eight wicket, both Ashwin and Kuldeep stitched a 92-run stand, frustrating the Bangladeshi bowlers in the first session. Speaking on how he enjoyed batting and what he made of the wicket then, Kuldeep said,

"When I was batting I thought there was no turn on offer for the spinners, thought it will be good for batting against the spinners, of course being a wrist spinner, bowling in these type of surface with the kookaburra ball, definitely gets the turn and bounce."

Batting first, India scored 404 with Cheteshwar Pujara (90) and Shreyas Iyer (86) being their highest-scorers. While bowling, seamers Umesh Yadav (2) and Mohammed Siraj (3)&nbsp;struck early blows before&nbsp;Kuldeep ended the day with four wickets to his name, putting India in the driver's seat.&nbsp;

BAN vs IND 2022, 1st Test: 'Didn't think wicket had turn on offer..' - day 2 hero Kuldeep Yadav says

Jaydev Unadkat earned a Test recall after a long time when India announced him as replacement for the injured Mohammed Shami in the run-up to the first Test between Bangladesh and India, in Chattogram. However, the 31-year-old hasn't joined the KL Rahul-led Indian squad for the series opener of the two-match Test series and is stuck at home, in Rajkot, due to visa issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As per a report in Cricbuzz, the BCCI's logistics department is busy trying to&nbsp;transport him to Bangladesh but Unadkat remains in India amid the start of the Test series in Chattogram on Wednesday (December 14). It is to be noted that the BCCI organises visas for all the players who can potentially be in the selectors' radar in order to avoid any last minute logistical issue. In Unadkat's case, it seems a pre-booking was not in place as he remains a surprise addition with Shami's injury. The Saurashtra pacer made his Test debut back in december 2010 and is returning to the red-ball squad after 12 years. Hence, he may not have been in the logistic department's eyes even though he was apparently seen as an option by the outgoing selection committee.

Unadkat didn't have a great debut in whites back in 2010 during India's tour of South Africa. However, he has done the hard yards in domestic circuit. Apart from leading Saurashtra to several laurels, the left-arm pacer ended as the highest wicket-taker&nbsp;of the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy by accounting for 67 scalps. Overall, he has claimed as many as 353 wickets in 96 first-class matches and remains a big name in the domestic arena. With a Test comeback, he will be itching to join the squad and be a part of India's playing XI in the second and final Test in Dhaka.

BAN vs IND 2022: Jaydev Unadkat misses first Test after being stuck in India due to visa issues

Rishabh Pant missed the entire ODI series between India and Bangladesh after consultation with the BCCI medical team. While he has returned for the two-match Test series and was drafted into the playing XI after India opted to bat first on Day 1 of the Chattogram Test, Pant slammed a well-made 46-run-knock. Coming out to bat at No. 5 with India struggling at 48 for 3, Pant resurrected the Indian innings with a 64-run fourth-wicket stand with Cheteshwar Pujara (90) before falling for 46 after the lunch break. Though his stay wasn't a lengthy one, he achieved a new record.

With his second six, Pant became the second-fastest Indian to reach 50 sixes in the purest format of the game. Pant (54th inning) is only behind Rohit Sharma (51 innings).&nbsp; Overall, the swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter stands third in the all-time list of fastest to 50 Test sixes. Pakistan's Shahid Afridi continues to lead the list as he reached the feat in 46 innings. Among Indians, Pant is the eighth batter to 50 maximums in whites. He has joined some big names such as Rohit, Virender Sehwag, MS&nbsp;Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Sourav Ganguly and Ravindra Jadeja.

In addition, Pant touched the 4000-run mark in international cricket during his knock on Day 1 of the India-Bangladesh Chattogram Test on Wednesday (December 14).

BAN vs IND: Rishabh Pant becomes second-fastest Indian to hit 50 sixes in Tests on Day 1 of series opener

India`s 227-run victory in a dead-rubber was effectively set up by left-handed opener Ishan Kishan smashing the fastest double hundred in the history of men`s ODI cricket in 126 balls, breaking the previous record of 138-ball double-century by West Indies` Chris Gayle in the 2015 ODI World Cup against Zimbabwe in Canberra.

When he got out for 210 off 131 balls, converting his maiden ODI ton into a double-hundred, Kishan had more records against his name -- the highest individual score by a batter in men`s ODIs in Bangladesh, as well as the highest score by an Indian batter outside of the home. His 210 is also the third-highest individual score by an Indian men`s batter in this format.

Kishan, 24, also became the fourth Indian to hit a double hundred in ODIs after Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma as well as the seventh men`s batter overall to achieve the feat, alongside Gayle, Martin Guptill and Fakhar Zaman. He`s also the youngest to hit a double hundred in menis ODI cricket. Ishan&nbsp;also added 290 runs for the second wicket with Virat Kohli, who made his 44th ODI hundred, and his first in the format since August 2019, also his 72nd international hundred, through a 91-ball 113 as India made 409/8 in their 50 overs.

Chasing 410 was always going to be difficult for Bangladesh. Axar Patel broke the 33-run opening stand on the first ball of the fifth over when Anamul Haque holed out to long-off. Three overs later, Litton Das hit straight to the mid-off fielder off Mohammed Siraj. Axar got his second wicket as Mushfiqur Rahim went for the sweep but was castled. Eight overs later, Yasir Ali was trapped lbw by Umran Malik in a successful review by India. Shakib Al Hasan was accumulating runs in his steady flow but chopped onto his stumps off Kuldeep Yadav.

As Mahmudullah was trapped lbw by Washington Sundar and burnt a review while Mehidy Hasan Miraz didn`t produce any heroics with the bat, the result was all but a foregone conclusion as India registered a crushing victory.

BAN vs IND 2022: Ishan Kishan's 210 powered India to 227-run win in 3rd ODI

India opener Ishan Kishan slammed his maiden 200 in the 3rd ODI against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Saturday. Playing only his 10th ODI, Ishan entered an elite list of Indian cricketers who have hit 200 or more in One-Dayers. While he is the youngest and the quickest ever to achieve this feat among all, Ishan is still the fourth Indian batter on the list after Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma.

His mind-blowing innings of 210 off 131 balls included 24 fours and 10 massive sixes. Hailing the knock, Sehwag and former India coach Ravi Shastri among others tweeted about Ishan's milestone. While Sehwag wrote this is the approach team India need to adapt going ahead in ODIs, Shastri said Ishan has shown what youth can do and that he has grabbed his chance&nbsp;with both hands. Harsha Bhogle and former India seamer Munaf Patel also tweeted, heaping praises on the youngster.&nbsp;

On the other hand,&nbsp;former India skipper Virat Kohli also notched up a&nbsp;ODI hundred after a gap of more than 1200 days. With this, he completed his 44th ODI ton, and&nbsp;surpassed legendary Ricky Ponting on the list of most centuries in international cricket. While Sachin still stands tall with 100 international tons to his name, Virat has completed 72 hundreds across formats.

India, after being asked to bat first in the final ODI scored a mammoth 409 for 8, their highest-ever score on the Bangladesh soil. As India had already lost this 3-match series 0-2, they will aim to win this match to boost dressing room's confidence.&nbsp;

India opener Ishan Kishan slammed his maiden 200 in the 3rd ODI against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Saturday. Playing only his 10th ODI, Ishan entered an elite list of Indian cricketers who have hit 200 or more in One-Dayers.

India opener Ishan Kishan slammed his maiden 200 in the 3rd ODI against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Saturday. Playing only his 10th ODI, Ishan entered an elite list of Indian cricketers who have hit 200 or more in One-Dayers. While he is the youngest and the quickest ever to achieve this feat among all, Ishan is still the fourth Indian batter on the list after Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma. ALSO READ: WATCH | UNBELIEVABLE! Ishan Kishan smashes fastest ODI double hundred His mind-blowing innings of 210 off 131 balls included 24 fours and 10 massive sixes. Hailing the knock, Sehwag and former India coach Ravi Shastri among others tweeted about Ishan's milestone. While Sehwag wrote this is the approach team India need to adapt going ahead in ODIs, Shastri said Ishan has shown what youth can do and that he has grabbed his chance with both hands. Harsha Bhogle and former India seamer Munaf Patel also tweeted, heaping praises on the youngster. On the other hand, former India skipper Virat Kohli also notched up a ODI hundred after a gap of more than 1200 days. With this, he completed his 44th ODI ton, and surpassed legendary Ricky Ponting on the list of most centuries in international cricket. While Sachin still stands tall with 100 international tons to his name, Virat has completed 72 hundreds across formats. India, after being asked to bat first in the final ODI scored a mammoth 409 for 8, their highest-ever score on the Bangladesh soil. As India had already lost this 3-match series 0-2, they will aim to win this match to boost dressing room's confidence. Let's see how twitter reacted to Ishan Kishan's incredible feat - That’s the way to do it. Brilliant from Ishan Kishan. This is the approach that will do Team India a world of good. #INDvsBAN pic.twitter.com/PepchFwFF1 — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) December 10, 2022 × Exuberance of youth at its best. Well done.

Virender Sehwag, Ravi Shastri among others hail Ishan Kishan on maiden 200 in 3rd ODI vs Bangladesh

After losing the second ODI by five&nbsp;runs, India will take on&nbsp;Bangladesh in their quest for redemption in the 3rd and final One-Dayer on Saturday, December 10th in Chattogram. The Indian team suffered multiple blows in the second ODI in Dhaka as two of their star performers, Rohit Sharma and Deepak Chahar sustained injuries in the first innings. Although both Rohit and Deepak did come out to bat in the second inning, their fitness and batting positions didn't help India gain any advantage over their opponents.

India, who lost the first ODI as well, suffered yet another series loss at the hands of Bangladesh in their home conditions for the second time in 7 years. Now with the 3rd ODI slated to begin on Saturday, the best this Indian team can do is avoid a series whitewash.&nbsp;

India captain Rohit Sharma is ruled out of the upcoming 3rd ODI against Bangladesh due to a finger injury, and as per recent reports, he is also likely to miss the Test series, starting December 14th. Abhimanyu Easwaran, the India-A captain who is already in Bangladesh for the ‘A’ Test series could be roped in as his replacement. This could also come as a huge blow to the team in their quest to reach the World Test Championship final – for which they need to win their remaining Tests (2 against Bangladesh and 4 against Australia).

Rohit Sharma, since being named captain is yet to shine with the bat across formats. Although we have seen some glimpses of old Rohit, the right-hander hasn’t really fired like he used to. India, under Rohit, has lost yet another ODI series in 2022 – against Bangladesh this time, trailing 0-2 in the 3-match series; and with him all but likely to be ruled out of Tests as well, the pressure will mount on the team.

On the other hand, the right-hander batter Abhimanyu Easwaran has been knocking on the selector’s door for some time now. Currently leading the India-A team in Bangladesh, Abhimanyu has amassed two centuries in two innings&nbsp;played so far. In the first of the two matches that got drawn, he scored 145 in the first innings, while in the ongoing second India-A Test, Abhimanyu notched up a whopping 157. With this form on his side, Abhimanyu Easwaran could well be on his way to making his Test debut next week.

Rohit, meanwhile, will be travelling to Mumbai to consult doctors about his finger injury, and then based on that, a final call by the team management and selection committee will be taken.

Injured Rohit Sharma likely to miss Bangladesh Tests, Abhimanyu Easwaran to replace him – Reports

On Wednesday (December 07), India lost to Bangladesh in the second and penultimate ODI to concede an unassailable lead to the home side with a game to go. After reducing Bangla Tigers to 69 for 6, Indian bowlers were clueless against the pair of Mahmudullah-Mehedi Hasan as the duo stitched an impressive 148-run seventh-wicket stand and took their side to a challenging 271/7 after opting to bat first in Dhaka. In reply, India gave a spirited fight, courtesy of Shreyas Iyer (82), Axar Patel (56) and captain Rohit Sharma's 28-ball 51*, but lost by five runs.&nbsp;

During the contest, India lost the services of their captain Rohit who injured his webbing while fielding at the slips in the second over. Further, Deepak Chahar hurt his hamstring after bowling just three overs and returned only during the run-chase (making an 18-ball 11). Prior to the game, Kuldeep Sen had complained of a stiff back and got ruled out. Further, the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Md Shami, etc., are also on the road to recovery after their respective injuries. Thus, there are several injury concerns in the Indian camp.

Speaking in this regard, Rohit said at the post-match presentation after the 2nd ODI, "I mean there are definitely a few injury concerns. We need to try and get to the bottom of it. I don't know what exactly it is. Maybe they're playing too much cricket. We need to try and monitor those guys, because it's important to understand when they come for India, they need to be a 100%, in fact more than 100%."

Hitman added, "It's something we have to look at. We have to sit with our team back home at the NCA as well and try and monitor their workload. That is something we need to look at. We can't afford guys coming in here half-fit and representing the country. There's huge pride and honour in representing the country and if they're not fit enough, it's not ideal. Having said that, we just need to get to the bottom of it and find out what exactly is the reason behind this."

Rohit was lauded for his efforts as the 35-year-old came out to bat, at No. 9, with the visitors needing 65 off the last 44 balls with only three wickets in hand. His valiant knock, 28-ball 51 not out, wasn't enough as India lost the second and penultimate tie&nbsp;to lose their second successive 50-over series on Bangladeshi soil.&nbsp;

Players need to be more than 100%: Rohit Sharma on plethora of injury concerns in Team India

India went down to Bangladesh in the second and penultimate ODI on Wednesday, (December 07), to lose the series 2-0 with one game to go. After losing the series opener by a wicket, many expected Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. to level the series&nbsp;at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. Nothing of that sort happened as the Men in Blue lost by five runs in pursuit of&nbsp;272 target. Being asked to bowl first, India had reduced the Bangla Tigers to 69-6 before Mahmudullah's 77 and Mehedi Hasan's 100 not out propelled Bangladesh to 271/7 as India, in return,&nbsp;only managed 266 for 9.

While India lost the plot during Mahmudullah-Mehedi's rock solid 148-run seventh-wicket stand, they were kept alive in the run-chase courtesy of Shreyas Iyer (82) and Axar Patel (56)'s 107-run fifth-wicket partnership after being reduced to 65/4 at one stage. After the duo's departure, an unfit Rohit Sharma walked out to bat at No. 9. The Indian captain had injured his webbing while fielding at the slips in the second over of the match and left the field. After suffering a dislocation on his thumb and some stitches, the Hitman came out to bat for India with 65 needed off 44 balls, with only three wickets in hand.

Rohit started off slowly but accelerated and hit some amazing sixes (five overall) to smash a 28-ball 51 not out but couldn't take India past the finish line. Despite bringing down the equation to 6 off the last ball, Mustafizur Rahman's well-executed yorker prevented Rohit from going big. The 35-year-old's gutsy knock has been hailed by many given how unfit he was to bat. During his knock, Rohit completed 500 international sixes -- most by an Indian -- to join Chris Gayle in an elite list.&nbsp;

Most sixes in Intl Cricket

553- Chris Gayle 
502 - Rohit Sharma* 
476 - Shahid Afridi 
398 - Brendon McCullum

Thus, Gayle and Rohit are the only two batters with 500-plus sixes at the international level.&nbsp;

At the post-match presentation, Rohit said, "It (thumb injury) isn't too great. Some dislocation and some stitches. Fortunately, not a fracture and so, I was able to bat. When you lose a game, there are positives and negatives. From being 69/6, allowing them to get to 270-odd wasn't a great effect from our bowlers. We started well but the middle overs and the back end is what's hurting us a lot. Happened in the last game as well. It's something we need to work on. Not taking anything away from Mehidy and Mahmudullah, was a great partnership but we also need to find ways of breaking such partnerships. In One-Day cricket, it's about partnerships and when you get those, you have to ensure that they are converted to match-winning partnerships. That's what they did. If you get those 70-run stands, you need to convert them into 110-120 run partnerships for the team to win games, as it isn't easy for the new batter. Need to be braver in the middle."

Rohit is ruled out of the ODI series and doubts remain over his participation in the two-match Test series versus the Bangla Tigers, which commences on December 14.

India's biggest six-hitter! Rohit Sharma completes 500 int'l sixes during valiant knock vs Bangladesh

India Vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: After the New Zealand tour, India turned up for their ODI series opener versus hosts Bangladesh on Sunday (December 06) in Dhaka. With the return of regular captain Rohit Sharma, vice-captain KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, India were expected to beat the Bangla Tigers, who were without their regular skipper Tamim Iqbal, but the Liton Das-led side beat their Asian neighbours by one wicket in a thrilling tie.

Being asked to bat first, Rohit-led India were 49 for 3 and got dismissed for a paltry 186 in 41.2 overs with only Rahul managing an impressive 70-ball 73. Shakib Al Hasan returned with a fine 5 for 36 to rattle the Indian line-up. In reply, Bangla Tigers were 95 for 3 and 128 for 4 at one stage before being reduced to 136&nbsp;for 9. Nonetheless, Mehedi Hasan's 38 not out and Mustafizur Rahman's 11-ball 10* led their side to a stunning one-wicket win.&nbsp;

With a loss in the series opener, India have to win the second and penultimate tie to keep the series alive. The upcoming match will be held at the same venue. Will the script remain the same or India will stage a comeback?

On Wednesday (December 07), Virat Kohli opened the innings for Team India for the first time in ODI cricket since 2014 during the second and penultimate tie between India and Bangladesh in Dhaka. After opting to bat first, Liton Das-led Bangla Tigers were 69 for 6 and managed to post 271/7 riding on 100 not out from Mehedi Hasan, last match's Player-of-the-Match, and Mahmadullah's 77 as India came out for the run-chase with a new opening pair in the form of makeshift opener Kohli-Shikhar Dhawan. Captain Rohit Sharma got injured and was rushed to the hospital for scans while fielding in the slip cordon during the initial overs of the match.&nbsp;

Hence, Kohli opened the innings with Dhawan but couldn't do anything extra ordinary in a must-win game for Team India. Against a well-executed short-pitched delivery, the 34-year-old went for the pull, off Ebadot Hossain, and chopped it on to the stumps to depart for a 6-ball five. Here's the video of the former Indian captain's dismissal which sent Bangladeshi fans into a frenzy in the stadium:

Talking about Rohit's injury, he was stationed at second slip when he missed a regulation catch, giving opener&nbsp;Anamul Haque a lifeline off Md Siraj, and went off the field by injuring his webbling. Thus, Kohli had the task to give India a good start in a tricky 272-run chase but couldn't do anything special. Even in the series opener, where Bangladesh beat India by one wicket in pursuit of 187, Kohli was dismissed for nine off Shakib Al Hasan.&nbsp;

At the time of publishing this report, India have recovered after losing four early wickets in pursuit of 272 and all hopes are on Shreyas Iyer. If India lose this contest, this will be their second successive bilateral ODI series loss in Bangladesh after 2015.

2nd ODI: Makeshift opener Virat Kohli goes for cheap in India's must-win clash vs Bangladesh - WATCH

On Wednesday (December 07), Rohit Sharma suffered an injury blow while fielding in the slip cordon in the second and penultimate ODI between Bangladesh and India in Dhaka. After losing the toss, India were asked to bowl first. In the second over of the innings, Mohammed Siraj induced an edge off&nbsp;Anamul Haque's willow as the catch went to captain Rohit at second slip, who dropped a sitter. As soon as he dropped the catch, the Hitman was seen in pain and quickly walked off the field.&nbsp;

As reported by BCCI's official Twitter handle, the 35-year-old Rohit has been rushed to the hospital for scans after&nbsp;injuring his webbing.&nbsp;"India Captain Rohit Sharma suffered a blow to his thumb while fielding in the 2nd ODI. The BCCI Medical Team assessed him. He has now gone for scans," BCCI said in a tweet.

After Rohit walked off, vice-captain KL Rahul has taken charge of the side as India bowlers look eager to wrap up the Bangladeshi innings as soon as possible. The home side, who won the series opener by one wicket, have not got off to a good start and lost half of their side at the score of 69 with the likes of Siraj, Umran Malik and Washington Sundar striking at regular intervals. The visitors will aim to dismiss the Bangla Tigers for anything less than 200 and chase down the score to level the series.&nbsp;

BAN vs IND, 2nd ODI: Rohit taken to the hospital for scans after injuring his webbing while fielding at slips

India lost the three-match ODI series opener versus hosts Bangladesh, in Dhaka, by one wicket after being bundled out for 186. As Shakib Al Hasan rattled the famed Indian batting line-up, on a tough track, with a fine 5 for 36, India bowlers produced a top show but couldn't get rid of the last-wicket stand between Player-of-the-Match Mehedi Hasan (38 not out) and Mustafizur Rahman as the duo took their side home with four overs to spare.

From India's perspective, KL Rahul top-scored with a fine 70-ball 73 whereas in-form batter Shreyas Iyer struck 24 (39) along with Rohit Sharma and Washington Sundar also getting starts. Before the second and penultimate ODI, Little Master Sunil Gavaskar has a word of advise for Rahul and Iyer, who have been very good in ODI cricket of late. Gavaskar feels both have done well but cannot afford to relax with all-rounder Hardik Pandya's return in the format inevitable.

Speaking to&nbsp;Sony Sports,&nbsp;Gavaskar said, "When you have someone breathing down your neck, like KL Rahul will feel Shreyas Iyer is breathing down his neck which is again good for Rahul because he would want to go out there not taking any match lightly. He would want to score in every game. And both of them are outstanding fielders and KL Rahul can keep wickets which is a huge plus. Iyer can also bowl. So it is good to have these kind of competitions for No. 5 and 6 not to forget that there is a certain Hardik Pandya who is also likely to comeback in the one-day side sooner than later."

With the ODI World Cup due to be held in India in less than a year, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team is tinkering with their team combination in a bid to finalise their XI. Rahul, the vice-captain and part-time keeper, Iyer and Hardik will certainly be one of the key players for the two-time winners whereas Rishabh Pant also cannot be ruled out, who slammed his maiden ODI ton in India's famous series win over hosts England in July 2022.&nbsp;

Thus, India are spoiled for choices and need to smartly finalise their playing XI for the mega event next year.

BAN vs IND 2022: Gavaskar warns Rahul, Iyer to not get complacent with Hardik's likely return in ODIs

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and the likes returned for Team India as they faced Bangladesh in the three-match ODI series opener on Sunday (December 04) in Dhaka. Being asked to bat first, India were soon reduced to 49 for 3 and only managed a paltry 186 all-out in 41.2 overs with only vice-captain Rahul managing a sedate 73 (70).&nbsp;

Shakib Al Hasan accounted for 5 for 36 but the Bangla Tigers were made to sweat hard for their runs in the second innings. They were 95 for 3 and 128 for 4 but suddenly got reduced to 136 for 9 before an unbeaten 51-run tenth wicket stand with Player-of-the-Match Mehedi Hasan (38&nbsp;not out and 1/43) and Mustafizur Rahman (11-ball 10*)&nbsp;took&nbsp;their side home by one wicket. After going down 1-0 in the series, former stumper and ex-selector Saba Karim&nbsp;lashed out at India and issued a warning. He feels an entire restructuring is needed in white-ball formats.

Speaking on Sony Sports after India's defeat, Karim said, "It is now time for us to pay attention to our white-ball cricket. The first thing is you will have to decide that our white-ball cricket has some issues which need to be resolved and for that, I feel you need an entire restructuring."

Karim opined, "This is being discussed for many days, if you have agreed that there is a problem, how will you address it? Do we need to bring a change in our game plan or our brand of cricket? Do we need to play with a different template? If we have to play like that, do we have the players like that or not?."

The former keeper-batter further pointed out, "If you feel you have the players like that, are we creating an environment like that so that they can bat freely, if we have decided that we have to bat aggressively. I feel we are still in doubt what path we need to take and on top of that if we get a challenging wicket like today, we get stuck even more."

"You will have to create different profiles for players and empower them that if you have to play aggressive cricket, this has to be your approach, then you cannot go the other way, whichever way the game might be going. You will have to continue to bat dominantly if you have decided that is going to be your template," Karim added.

'You need an entire restructuring': Former selector issues warning to Team India after 1st ODI loss

Ace Indian pacer Mohammed Shami picked up a shoulder&nbsp;injury and didn’t travel with the Indian contingent to Bangladesh for the bilateral series, as per the BCCI release. Shami is now asked to report to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for his recovery. The fast bowler injured his shoulder&nbsp;ahead of the Bangladesh series, thus ruling him out of the ODIs, beginning Sunday, December 4th in Dhaka. While there is no confirmation as to by when will he be back on the board, Shami’s current situation puts his participation in the two Tests in limbo as well.

"Fast bowler Mohd. Shami sustained a shoulder injury during a training session in the lead-up to the ODI series against Bangladesh. He is currently under the supervision of the BCCI Medical Team at the NCA, Bengaluru, and will not be able to take part in the three-match series," the BCCI press release said.

Besides Shami, India will also miss the services of star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who also got ruled out of the Bangladesh series due to an injury he suffered in the Asia Cup this year. With this Test series against Bangladesh falling under the World Test Championship cycle and considering there is no Jasprit Bumrah in the squad too, the Indian bowling line-up will be under little pressure during the red-ball series.

Umran Malik named replacement

The BCCI on Saturday, December 3rd, in a press release, announced&nbsp;pace bowling sensation Umran Malik will replace&nbsp;Mohammed Shami in the ODI squad. Malik will partner with&nbsp;Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Sen in Oner-Dayers, while&nbsp;in Tests, the onus will be on Umesh Yadav and Siraj as India is likely to field at least two spinners on those tracks.
