India vs Bangladesh World Cup 2023 HIGHLIGHTS: On Thursday, at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, India defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets. In ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, an explosive first-wicket partnership between skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, followed by Virat Kohli’s 48th ODI ton sealed India a seven-wicket win over the neighbour.
It was a clinical bowling effort by the Indian cricket team, considering they were one bowler short from early in the match after Hardik Pandya twisted his ankle in his first over. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma performed impressively. Virat Kohli ended with an unbeaten 103. He hit a six to reach his hundred and secure the country’s win with 51 balls to spare.
India’s rivalry with Bangladesh has a unique charm. Over the years, the two cricketing nations have engaged in close games, and the divide between them has only grown wider. The rivalry kicked off in 2000 when India granted Bangladesh their Test debut. However, it took an unexpected turn in 2007 when the team defeated the Men in Blue at the World Cup in the West Indies. India avenged that loss four years later, but excitement is guaranteed whenever these teams clash in a World Cup match.

Kuldeep Yadav takes out Tanzid Hasan shortly after the opener celebrated his half-century. BAN 94/1 (15)
In the 9th over, a concerning incident occurred as Hardik Pandya sustained an injury while bowling. During his follow-through, Pandya made an effort to halt the ball and ended up falling over, twisting his ankle in the process. This appeared to be quite painful, but there's hope that Pandya will recover well, as the team physio is on the field to assess his condition.
Regrettably, the situation doesn't appear promising for Pandya, resulting in a somewhat extended delay. However, with determination, Pandya manages to get back on his feet, albeit with a noticeable limp, and returns to his bowling mark. Yet, it's not without consequences, as Pandya is ultimately forced to leave the field. Virat Kohli will now step in to complete the unfinished over. BAN 47/0 (9)
A golden chance slipped away when Jasprit Bumrah unleashed his signature yorker during a brilliant spell. The fielders and bowler made a fervent appeal, yet the review was not initiated. However, the subsequent replay revealed that the ball had made contact with the pad before striking the bat. It was a moment when India could have taken advantage but, regrettably, the opportunity was lost.
Meanwhile, from the opposite end, Siraj's performance has started to waver. He has begun to send down a few loose deliveries, and any earlier swing witnessed with the new ball has now completely vanished. The pitch now appears to be a batting paradise. BAN 19/0 (6)
Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan starts the inning for Bangladesh while Jaspreet Bumrah threw the first over. The batters were able to gather a single in this over. BAN 1/0 (1)
