Man of the Match today IND vs BAN: Who won India vs Bangladesh Man of the Match today 3rd ODI?

During the third ODI of the ongoing India’s tour of Bangladesh in Chittagong, India beat Bangladesh by 227 runs. In what is the 17th biggest ODI win (by runs) and second-biggest in and against Bangladesh for any team, India’s third-biggest ODI victory hasn’t prevented a second consecutive bilateral 1-2 series loss for them in and against Bangladesh.

Chasing a 410-run target, Bangladesh failed miserably to replicate their performances from the first two ODIs in Mirpur. As a result, ended up getting bundled out for 182 in 34 overs on the back of losing wickets at regular intervals. Former captain Shakib Al Hasan (43) and captain Liton Das (29) did hit eight fours and a six between them but it had no major impact in an unsuccessful monumental run-chase.

Having played a pivotal record in picking wickets in the middle overs, India pacer Shardul Thakur was the pick of their bowlers with figures of 5-0-30-3. While all-rounder Axar Patel and fast bowler Umran Malik picked a couple of wickets, other bowlers namely Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav dismissed a batter each.

In a match which witnessed a batter scoring the fastest ODI double century, there is no hiding to the fact that India opener Ishan Kishan has been adjudged as the Player of the Match for scoring 210 (131) with the help of 24 fours and 10 sixes.

Only his maiden century for India, Kishan scored the sixth-highest individual score in ODIs at a mind-blowing strike rate of 160.30. Playing only his 31st international match across formats, 24-year old Kishan has won a match award just for the third time (first in ODIs).

“I think it was a perfect wicket to bat on. Perfect situation for me as well. Was looking to watch the ball properly and go with the flow. I think when you have so many senior players in the team. I got a lot of help from the support staff. I was just picking the ball and the bowlers,” Kishan told the host broadcaster during the post-match presentation ceremony.
