“Harder To…”: Not Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Or Any Player, Bangladesh Reveal What They’re Wary Of

Published by Webster

File image of the Indian cricket team© AFP Bangladesh batter Litton Das revealed that the team is trying to get used to the SG balls and the way they behave ahead of their upcoming two-match Test series against India. Looking to build on their recent historic Test success in Pakistan, Bangladesh will engage in a two-match red-ball series against India, kicking off next week in Chennai. It will be a different challenge for Bangladesh as they break one norm. Bangladesh played with Kookaburra ball in their home internationals and their recently concluded Test series against Pakistan. However, India use an SG ball, which is very different from Kookaburra and brings a different set of challenges with it. One of the prominent differences between the two is the seam. SG ball has a prominent seam, but the same can’t be said for Kookaburra. “The ball will be a different one in India. It is a little harder to play against the SG ball. The Kookaburra ball is easier to play when it gets old. …

Ton-up Litton Das Helps Bangladesh Thwart Pakistan In Second Test

Published by Webster

Liton Das hit a fighting hundred to lift Bangladesh from a precarious 26-6 to 262 all out on Sunday, in a remarkable turnaround that left the second Test in Rawalpindi within either team’s grasp. The 29-year-old hit 138 over the course of a marathon 333 minutes and brought Bangladesh back into the match with a fighting 165-run seventh-wicket stand alongside Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who scored a pugnacious 78. At close on the third day, Bangladesh struck back to leave Pakistan on a sluggish 9-2, with opener Abdullah Shafique dismissed for three and nightwatchman Khurram Shahzad falling without scoring — both to pacer Hasan Mahmud. Saim Ayub was not out on six as the home team lead by 21 runs, and Pakistan will need to bat smartly to clinch a series-levelling win after losing the first Test, also in Rawalpindi, by 10 wickets. Bangladesh’s win last week was their first in 14 attempts against Pakistan. The highlight of the day was Das and Mehidy’s match-turning stand. On top of that, Das added 69 with …

Published by Webster

Despite nursing a side strain, pacer Taskin Ahmed was on Tuesday included in Bangladesh’s squad for the T20 World Cup to be held in the Americas next month. Ahmed, who has also been named the vice-captain, picked up the injury ahead of the fifth T20I against Zimbabwe last week. But before that the 29-year-old had a great outing in the series, bagging eight wickets in four games at an impressive economy rate of 4.56. The Tigers will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, as all the familiar and experienced players have been included in the squad of 15. Opener Litton Das too has been named in the squad despite his poor recent form. Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is the senior-most player in the squad, having featured in every event since its inception in 2007. Bangladesh will start their campaign against Sri Lanka on June 7 in Dallas, Texas. They have been clubbed in Group D, which also has South Africa, Netherlands and Nepal. It will be their ninth straight appearance in the tournament, qualifying …

NZ vs BA, 1st T20I: This was Bangladesh’s first T20I triumph on New Zealand soil.© AFP Bangladesh on Wednesday claimed a historic five-wicket victory over New Zealand after their fast bowlers dismantled the hosts in the first game of the three-match T20I series in Napier. This was Bangladesh’s first T20I triumph on New Zealand soil. The target of 135 was difficult for Bangladesh at first, but opener Litton Das held his nerve to anchor the chase and helped Bangladesh take a 1-0 lead over New Zealand. Litton was the careful Bangladesh hitter as he witnessed his batting teammates gain starts and lose wickets early. Defending a mere total of 134, with early wickets of Bangladesh top order Rony Talukdar and Najmul Hossain Shanto, the Black Caps spinners gave home fans some hope of a victory. Litton combined with Soumya Sarkar and Towhid Hridoy to lead Bangladesh to 96-4 after 13 overs. The visitors were struggling at 97-5 after losing three wickets in a row when Afif Hossain was caught for one run in six deliveries. …

“Crowd Was Shouting…”: Mohammed Siraj On Ecstatic Celebration After Dismissing Litton Das

Published by Webster

India might have been four wickets down in a tricky chase in the second Test against Bangladesh but pacer Mohammed Siraj said there is nothing to worry about as one set batter can take the team to victory on Sunday. India on Saturday found themselves in a spot of bother after an engaging third day’s play as they were reduced to 45 for four in a tricky chase of 145. “I feel, we shouldn’t think too much now because we have lost just four wickets. We need around 80 (100) or so. We need just one batter to get set, Axar is showing right intent,” Siraj said during the press conference. At stumps, Axar Patel (26) and Jaydev Unadkat (3) were at the crease with India still needing another 100 runs. “Yes, we lost two wickets extra but Axar is set, he is showing good intent. We also have Rishabh (Pant) and Shreyas (Iyer) after that, so we shouldn’t think too much.” Siraj was also asked about his wild celebration post dismissing Litton Das. He …

IND vs BAN 1st Test: In the second innings, Mohammed Siraj gave a glare to Najmul Shanto.© Twitter Openers Najmul Hossain Shanto and Zakir Hasan gave Bangladesh a flying start after India had set a mammoth target of 513 in the ongoing first Test in Chattogram. Shanto and Zakir, unlike the first innings, gave a hard time to the Indian bowlers in the second innings. India pacer Mohammed Siraj, who had a face-off with Litton Das in the first innings, tried something similar against Shanto after the latter had completed his fifty. In the first innings, Siraj and Litton were involved in a heated exchange of words, but it was the Indian bowler who had the last laugh after he castled the Bangladesh batter. In the 34th over of Bangladesh’s second innings, Siraj gave a glare to Shanto, who preferred to turn his head away and rather smiled.

“T20 Format Nahi Hai…”: Mohammed Siraj Opens Up On His Face-off With Litton Das In 1st India-Bangladesh Test

Published by Webster

Mohammed Siraj and Bangladesh batter Litton das were involved in a spat on Day 2.© YouTube India pacer Mohammed Siraj and Bangladesh batter Litton das were involved in a spat on Day 2 of the ongoing first Test between the sides. In the game at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram, Siraj bowled the first ball of the 14th over which was well defended by Litton. The pacer then walked up to the batter and told him something. The Bangladesh player then cheekily signalled that he didn’t hear anything while walking towards Siraj before umpire intervened and sent the bowler away. What made it all the more interesting was that Siraj dismissed Litton on the very next ball. A wobbled seam delivery from Siraj stayed low and Litton found an edge to eventually play it on his stumps for a score of 24. While reacting to what transpired between the duo, Siraj revealed what he said to Litton before the delivery which claimed the latter’s wicket. “I just said T20 format nahi hai. Yeh Test …
