Unfortunately Hardik Pandya sustained an injury after delivering only three balls in the match. His leg muscles strained as he attempted to field, preventing him from continuing to bowl.
Virat Kohli stepped in to complete the remaining three balls of his over. The extent of Hardik’s injury remains uncertain, and he has been taken to the hospital for a scan. Consequently, his ability to bat in the second innings is in doubt.

On the other hand, Shubman Gill appears to be in excellent form, as he displayed some fine shots against Pakistan, and today, against Bangladesh, he showcased remarkable batting. While Rohit Sharma reached 48 runs on his personal score, attempting to hit a six, he got caught on the boundary.
Then, Virat Kohli stepped up to bat, also launching his innings swiftly and not letting his strike rate drop. Gill equally partnered with Virat Kohli, but Shubman Gill was dismissed for 53 runs. Afterward shreyas Iyer joined Virat to continue batting. Both of them formed a good partnership, but Shreyas Iyer also lost his wicket while attempting a big shot and got caught on the boundary.
KL Rahul, who has been in superb form recently in the Asia Cup, came to bat alongside Virat Kohli. Both of them scored runs gathered runs all around the ground.
In the end, Virat Kohli, with aggressive play, hit a six on the final ball to secure a victory for India and also completed his 48th ODI century. KL Rahul also contributed with 34 runs and remained not out.
