India vs Bangladesh Live Score, World Cup 2023: Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill have got India cruising in the middle overs

India vs Bangladesh, Woirld Cup 2023 Highlights: Rohit Sharma got off to a flier of a start once again after Bangladesh were restricted to a score of 256/8. The Indian captain was looking imperious but he ended up falling in the 13th over on 48 off 40. Virat Kohli then came out swinging as he got two back to back no balls. He took two runs off the first, hit a four off the second that was a free hit and a six off the next free hit delivery, thus smashing 12 runs off his first three balls. Shubman Gill, meanwhile, almost effortlessly scored a half century, eventually falling on 53. Kohli and Shreyas Iyer have since looked quite secure and India are cruising along in the chase. Kohli eventually cruised past his 69th ODI half-century. India floated along, to the point that Kohli and Rahul in the end decided to ensure that the former takes most of the strike and gets to a century. What was a one-sided match suddenly became interesting and Kohli thrillingly got to his 48th ODI ton and hit the winning runs with a six.

Earlier, India choked out the Bangladesh lineup in the middle overs after the latter got off to a strong start with a 93-run opening stand. Bangladesh were eventually reduced to their last four wickets for just over 200 runs. Their last-recognised pairing of Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim was ended by a special piece of fielding by Ravindra Jadeja, whose outrageous catch at point gave Jasprit Bumrah his first wicket. This meant that all Indian bowlers - barring Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli who combined to bowl just 6 balls - picked wickets.
