India vs Bangladesh: Twitter hails 'Special Saturday' as Kishan, Kohli star in Men in Blue's thumping 227-run win

India were back to winning ways on Saturday, registering a thumping 227-run victory over Bangladesh in the third and final ODI at Chattogram, finishing with a consolation win before they turn their attention to the two-Test series. The Men in Blue had suffered narrow defeats in Dhaka, by one wicket and five runs respectively, to surrender yet another ODI series in Bangladesh after having lost by a 2-1 margin under MS Dhoni’s leadership in 2015. On Saturday, however, the Indian team lived up to its full potential as it dominated the hosts both with bat and ball to walk away with one of their biggest victories ever.

Not only did he bring up his maiden international hundred, he also ended up breaking West Indian great Chris Gayle’s six-year-old record for the fastest double-hundred in ODIs. The Indian bowling department, which was guilty of letting the Bangla Tigers off the hook from dominant positions in the first two games, was equally clinical as they struck at regular intervals to bundle the hosts out for 182. All-rounder Shardul Thakur was the pick of the Indian bowlers with 3/30, while Axar Patel (2/22) and Umran Malik (2/43) snared two wickets each.
