The much awaited India-Bangladesh clash took place on Thursday in the Dubai International Stadium, UAE which commenced India’s campaign ion the Champions Trophy 2025. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on the field showed perfect example of sportsmanship when in the 23rd over, Jaker Ali had to tie his shoelace and Rohit Sharma helped him tie the shoelace. While India clinched 5 Bangladeshi wickets on just 39 runs, Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy helped Bangladesh in the comeback from a pretty low score.
India is scheduled to play against Pakistan and New Zealand on 23 February and 2 March respectively as per the fixtures in Dubai. All of India’s matches will be played in Dubai due to Political friction between the two countries. It was very surprising to see Arshdeep Singh being rested for the opening match for the champions Trophy. Harshit Rana was given a chance to play.
Earlier when he dropped the catch on the slip which could have led to hattrick for Axar Patel, he apologised to the left hander for missing his chance.
