The Indian cricket team defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets in the World Cup 2023 clash
The Indian cricket team got their 4th victory in the ICC men's ODI World Cup 2023 by defeating Bangladesh by 7 wickets at the Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Pune while chasing the target of 257 runs. Kohli was the top scorer with 103 runs, as Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill lost their wickets after scoring 48 and 53 runs, respectively. The Bangladesh cricket team was missing their captain, Shakib Al Hasan, in the match against India.
While batting first, Bangladesh set a target of 256 runs on the back of half centuries from Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das. However, India struck with the help of their spinners, with Kuldeep Yadav sending Tanzid back at 51 before Ravindra Jadeja came into attack to deliver an incredible spell where he gave away 38 runs in his 10 overs in return for a couple of wickets.
Kohli hit six boundaries along with three maximums to remain unbeaten and help India secure this victory. The Indian batting mainstay thus notched his maiden ton of the tournament after having bagged a half-century in the clash against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Rahul played a fine knock, displaying his usual calm self to secure three boundaries along with a solitary maximum to ensure that India did not face any hurdles in getting to the target.
