Ravindra Jadeja made an immediate impact at the Asia Cup 2018 as defending champions India started off their ‘Super Four’ campaign with an emphatic seven-wicket win over Bangladesh.
Jadeja joined India’s squad in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday after Axar Patel tore a tendon in his left index finger, but he wasted no time in contributing as his 4/29 helped dismiss Bangladesh for a low total of 173.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah also😼 made trouble for the batsman, the duo 💜sharing the other six wickets at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
While the bowlers put their feet up, skipper Rohit Sharma maintained his impressive form in the competition with another half century, anchoring t♏he run chase to a successful conclusion.
Rohit hit an unbeaten 83 off 104 balls at the top of the innings to leave India in pole position to reach the final on September 𒉰28.
Here is how the Twitter world reacted to India’s convincing win:
