Legacy
One of the greatest openers
Rohit is among the greatest openers in ODI history. Initially a middle-order batter, the 37-year-old turned into an opener during the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, as MS Dhoni promoted him. This transformed the career of Rohit, who went on to hammer three double-centuries in ODI cricket. He owns the highest-ever individual score in ODI history, an audacious 264 against Sri Lanka from 2014.
1st innings
Bangladesh post a strong total
Despite losing five wickets for a mere 35 runs, Bangladesh posted a competitive total of 228/10. The turnaround was largely due to a monumental 154-run partnership between centurion Towhid Hridoy (100) and Jaker Ali (68). Mohammed Shami claimed a fifer as Harshit Rana dismissed three batters. In reply, Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill added 69 runs before the skipper departed.
