Big win

Great comeback by the world-class cricket team India by winning the third One Day International against Bangladesh on Saturday (“Kishan double ton helps India crush Bangladesh by 227 runs,” Dec.11 Gulf Today website).

Cricket is the most-loved sports extravaganza in Asian countries. Despite India being a mighty cricket team, Bangladesh surprised everyone by winning the three-match One Day International series against India by 2-1.

What a comeback by the great Team India winning the third one day international match against Bangladesh by a record 227 runs.

The third one-day match between India and Bangladesh will be a memorable contest for years in which opener Ishan Kishan hit the fastest-ever double century in one-day internationals in just 126 balls to set up a 227-run consolation win for India on Saturday. The left-handed Kishan, who made the team in the absence of injured skipper Rohit Sharma, powered India to 409-8 with his 210 off 131 balls including 24 fours and 10 sixes.

I would like to congratulate Team India on the superb comeback in the third one day international series against Bangladesh.
