As it’s turned out, excellent all round performance by India. Deepak Chahar undoubtedly the hero, but important knocks from Rahul and Iyer which put Bangladesh under pressure. And superbly led by Rohit Sharma. Well played!👏👏

Very impressed with the way has evolved as a T20I bowler. Always had the ability to pick up wickets with the new ball but has worked hard to bowl in the middle and end overs. Got a lot of variations up his sleeves & knows when to use them.
