Rohit Sharma, Ashish Nehra Take India to Big Win Over Bangladesh

Bangladesh won the toss and chose to field

Rohit Sharma scored 83(55 Balls 4x7 and 6x3) while Ashish Nehra took 3/23 as India defeated Bangladesh by 45 runs

Put into bat on a pacer-friendly wicket, India scored a challenging 166 for six with Rohit scoring his runs under pressure after they were reduced to 42/3 at one stage. While India got into trouble at 52 for three after first 10 overs, the next 10 saw them score a whopping 114 runs, primarily due to Rohit Sharma, who enthralled one and all with his dazzling stroke play

Hardik Pandya31 Runs(18 balls 4x4 and 6x1) was the other notable contributor. 

In reply, Bangladesh were never in the game being restricted to 121 for seven in the stipulated 20 overs at the Shere Bangla National Stadium

Veteran Ashish Nehra (3/23) was literally unplayable with his variations as well as brisk pace that he generated. He was on a hat-trick in his final over.

Jasprit Bumrah (1/23) also dealt an initial blow while Pandya (1/23), Ravichhandran Ashwin (1/23) and Ravindra Jadeja (0/25 in) maintained the pressure to indicate the real difference in quality between the two sides.

India launched their Asia Cup campaign in style as they thrashed Bangladesh by 45 runs and it was a welcome victory for India and their skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Bangladesh soil after their disastrous ODI series loss in 2015
