Since Bangladesh’s first ODI series triumph over India in 2015, they have just won a solitary T20I against the Men in Blue in 17 meetings across all formats despite coming close several times. Bangladesh’s one-wicket victory over India in Mirpur on Sunday was widely celebrated by their team members.
Habibul Bashar, one of Bangladesh’s finest captains, was ecstatic as well. “Off late, it has been a story of so-near-yet-so-far for Bangladesh. I am happy that we could cross the line against India this time. After losing nine wickets, I wasn’t expecting them to win but they just managed to hold their nerves. It was a spirited team effort by Litton Das and his men and that too without notable names like Tamim [Iqbal] and Taskin [Ahmed],” Bashar told mid-day on Monday.
