 "Why rumours of Sachin Tendulkar becoming next BCCI president are unfounded")
Lingering memories of a World Cup controversy which erupted nearly three months ago will return to centre stage when Bangladesh host India for a one-off Test, which starts Wednesday, and three one-day internationals. The Test match in Fatullah on the outskirts of Dhaka will be the first meeting between the two teams since their contentious World Cup quarter-final in Melbourne in March which India won by 109 runs. [caption id=“attachment_2287998” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  File picture of Virat Kohli. Reuters[/caption] Bangladesh were left fuming at what they saw as unfair umpiring decisions, prompting government minister Mustafa Kamal to resign as president of the International Cricket Council alleging Indian bias. The players publicly stated they have moved on from the World Cup, but fans in cricket-mad Bangladesh can be expected to remind the tourists of how their team were “robbed” of a semi-final spot. “Playing at home is our best chance to beat India and take revenge for what happened at the World Cup,” said Dhaka student Amir Hossain. Keen to avoid a backlash from home supporters, authorities have ordered that an Islamic seminary near the stadium be closed for the duration of the Test and provocative banners will be prohibited in the stands. India’s Test captain Virat Kohli hoped the World Cup controversy would not affect relations between the two teams. “We had issues in the past but we have moved ahead,” Kohli said in Kolkata on Sunday before the team departed for Dhaka. “We are going to play and try and win a Test match, that’s our primary focus. There won’t be any grudges or ill feelings about the opposition. It’s pure and simple professionalism.” Bangladesh batsman Mominul Haque also played down suggestions of bad blood between the teams. “What happened is in the past. It will not affect the Test in any way,” he said. India will look to continue their dominant record against Bangladesh, having won six and drawn one of the seven Tests played so far. India have recalled Harbhajan Singh, the world’s most successful current spinner with 413 wickets, who could team up with fellow off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for the match. - Playing to win - Bangladesh left-hander Haque, who requires one more 50 to equal South African AB de Villiers’ record of scoring a half-century in 12 consecutive Tests, hoped the home team will put up a tough fight. “Of course, we will play to win, but we will be happy even if we can achieve a draw,” the 23-year-old said ahead of the Test at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali stadium. “But please don’t compare me with AB (de Villiers). He is the king of all formats.” Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim is likely to leave wicket-keeping duties to uncapped Litton Das due to a finger injury. The Test will be followed by three one-day internationals to be played in Dhaka on June 18, 21 and 24. AFP

Great day for ShikharDhawan. And Murali Vijay showed why he has been India's most productive batsman over the last year. #BanvsInd

That’s stumps on day 1! India 239/0 (Dhawan 150, Vijay 89)
Dhawan brings up his 150 but then bad light forces play to stop early…….. India completely dominated the day. 36 overs were lost but still, India scored at 4.26 runs an over. Bangladesh bowlers looked totally listless and it seems as if the ploy of going in with just one seamer might backfire. India would look to up the ante tomorrow morning and pile on a sizable total.
After 54 overs, India 234/0 ( Vijay 88, Dhawan 147)
Things have slowed down and the light is slowly fading. Just one run off the over.
After 54 overs, India 233/0 ( Vijay 87, Dhawan 147)
The ploy of having a silly mid on nearly worked. Dhawan was looking to go down the track nearly every ball but this time his hits one uppishly and it falls just short of the diving silly mid on fielder. Just a single off the over.
After 53 overs, India 232/0 ( Vijay 86, Dhawan 146)
After four good balls, Shahid drifts it into Dhawan’s pads who flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a single. Vijay then guides one but the fielder at short third man dives and makes a fantastic stop. Saves a certain boundary. Just one run off the over.
There were only two 50+ run partnership for India in tours of Aus, Eng, NZ and SA. A 200+ run partnership in the first inning in Asia now!

After 51 overs, India 231/0 ( Vijay 86, Dhawan 145)
Dhawan playing some audacious shots now. Gets down and reverse paddles one wide of the keeper for a boundary and then uses his feet to drive it wide of long off for a single. Five runs from the over.
After 50 overs, India 226/0 ( Vijay 86, Dhawan 140)
A good comeback over from Shahid. He nearly had Dhawan chop onto his stumps and then beat Vijay with a lovely outswinger. Finally, a Bangladeshi bowler makes something happen.
After 49 overs, India 218/0 ( Vijay 86, Dhawan 139)
After a couple of singles off first three balls, Dhawan charges downt he track and whips it through mid-wicket for a boundary. He then again uses his feet off the next couple of balls, doesn’t beat mid-wicekt the first time but then finds the gap off the next ball for a single to make it 7 runs from the over.
When BDesh has no longer version local cricket how do you expect them to win 5 day Test match ?

After 48 overs, India 218/0 ( Vijay 85, Dhawan 133)
Harmless off-spinners from Kayes. A hint of Harbhajan in his action though. 3 runs off the over.
Lop-sided bowling attack with only 1 fast bowler making on impact on Indian batsmen. Whatever wicket B'Desh expected has obviously backfired

After 47 overs, India 215/0 ( Vijay 84, Dhawan 131)
Vijay content at playing late and defending. A maiden over from Shakib……….
After 47 overs, India 215/0 ( Vijay 84, Dhawan 131)
Same old stuff. Three singles. No spin for Hom. All too easy for the batsmen. Seems like Bangladesh are waiting for India to make a mistake now.
After 46 overs, India 212/0 ( Vijay 82, Dhawan 130)
Nothing has changed with the bowling change. It’s all too easy. Two singles and a couple off the over. No spin for Shakib.
After 45 overs, India 205/0 ( Vijay 81, Dhawan 127)
There is a huge LBW shout against Vijay as he misses his flick but the umpire turns it down as there is an inside edge. Three singles off the over.
After 44 overs, India 205/0 ( Vijay 80, Dhawan 125)
Vijay showing some attacking instincts in that over as he lofts the first ball over long on for a six. Jubair bounces back well to bowl five dot balls next up. He got a couple to turn viciously in that over. 6 runs off the over.
After 43 overs, India 199/0 ( Vijay 74, Dhawan 125)
The batsmen are milking singles. There’s nothing that the Bangladesh bowlers are doing different. It’s all too easy for the batsmen. 4 singles off the over.
After 42 overs, India 195/0 ( Vijay 72, Dhawan 123)
Jobair missed his lengths in that over. He was on the shorter side and bowled a couple of full tosses. He beat Vijay with one that spun away viciously. Four runs off the over.
After 41 overs, India 191/0 ( Vijay 69, Dhawan 121)
A rare tight over for Bangladesh…Just two runs off it.
After 40 overs, India 189/0 ( Vijay 69, Dhawan 119)
This is good calculated cricket from Dhawan. Minimal risk and maximum result. He charges down the track and cracks it straight back for a boundary. He then sweeps it to fine leg for a single to bring up the highst opening partnership for India against Bangladesh. Vijay then smartly guides it to third man for three. Dhawan then looks to drive but gets an outside edge wide of the first slip fielder fo a boundary. 14 runs off the over. Runs are flowing…….
After 39 overs, India 175/0 ( Vijay 65, Dhawan 110)
Good use of the feet from Dhawan and his is growing from strength to strength. He charges down the track to Hom and flicks it wide of mid on for a boundary. Vijay, meanwhile, was cautious. He’s batting without hemlet or cap off. 6 runs off the over.
.@SDhawan25 now holds the record of scoring fastest Test 100 for India v Australia (85 balls on debut) & v @BCBtigers (101 balls).#BANvIND

After 38 overs, India 169/0 ( Vijay 64, Dhawan 105)
A tight over from Jubair, just one run off it. Bangladesh need to do something different. Vijay and Dhawan are both looking at extreme ease……..
After 37 overs, India 168/0 ( Vijay 64, Dhawan 104)
A good over from Hom. He got a bit of turn. Think Ashwin and harbhajan will enjoy bowling on this wicket. Just one run off the over.
Gabbar grabbed this lucky break with both hands...the pace at which he scores will always be a temptation to keep Rahul on the bench.
