2016 T20 World Cup semifinal heartbreak vs India a ‘life-changing lesson’, says Mahmudullah | Cricket News

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: Mar 13, 2026 03:50 PM IST Nearly a decade after Bangladesh’s heartbreaking loss to India in the semifinal of the 2016 T20 World Cup, former captain Mahmudullah has said that multiple players shed tears in the dressing room in the minutes after the conclusion of the match.  The game, played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, is remembered as one of the most exciting finishes in T20 World Cup history. Bangladesh needed to score just two runs from the last three balls and, quite sensationally, lost three wickets allowing an improbable 1-run win for India. Speaking on the Simply Sayeed podcast, the veteran all-rounder revealed that dressing room was devastated after the loss suffered by Bangladesh. “I do not know (what happened in that game against India). That was tragic. It was very heartbreaking. I think it was extremely heartbreaking. We cried on the ground. When we got back to the hotel we cried. Me, Mushfiqur Rahim, we all cried. Many other members were crying as well because we were so close to …

Bangladesh allrounder Mahmudullah Riyad on Wednesday announced his retirement from international cricket. The 39-year-old had already retired from Tests in 2021 and then ended his T20I career in October 2024.

With Mushfiqur Rahim’s ODI retirement, Bangladesh formally move on from golden generation

Published by Webster

With the One Day International retirement of wicketkeeping and batting mainstay, Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh formally moved on from the generation which produced the likes of world-class talents in Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad. After a rather poor show at the Champions Trophy 2025, where Bangladesh were knocked out from the group stage after losing to eventual finalists India and New Zealand, Mushfiqur announced his retirement on Wednesday. The 37-year-old took to Instagram and penned an emotional message announcing his retirement from ODI cricket. “Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. I am announcing my retirement from the ODI format as of today,” he wrote. Story continues below this ad “Alhamdulillah for everything. While our achievements may have been limited on a global level, one thing is certain: whenever I stepped onto the field for my country, I gave more than 100% with dedication and honesty,” the post added.

Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami, and spinners star as India beat Bangladesh in spin-friendly conditions | Cricket News

Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami, and spinners star as India beat Bangladesh in spin-friendly conditions | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

It was the start that India needed to kick off their Champions Trophy campaign. Despite having all the arsenal that makes them a formidable white-ball outfit, there were a few doubts coming into the tournament especially against a spin-heavy attack. And through the course of their six-wicket win against Bangladesh, India went about ticking all the boxes, showing their blueprint could after all be foolproof in these conditions in Dubai where other teams are likely to struggle to get used to the nature of the surfaces. More importantly, in the afternoon Mohammed Shami rediscovered his rhythm and their spin formula showed it would work wonders in these slow conditions, more so if they get a chance to bowl first. In the evening, a fluent Shubman Gill scored his second successive century in as many games, showing why there shouldn’t be any doubts over his spot in the ODI side. The batting depth — even if it means there is only one spot for their two X-factor bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy – is absolutely …

Champions Trophy: India left to rue dropped chances as Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy dig Bangladesh out of hole | Cricket News

Champions Trophy: India left to rue dropped chances as Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy dig Bangladesh out of hole | Cricket News

Published by Webster

The Indian team were left to rue two important dropped catches with Bangladesh batters Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy made the most of their second lives, steadying the Bangladesh innings after the team was down to 35/5 at one point in the match. Ali and Hridoy were both dropped at low scores and have since made the Men in Blue pay with respective half centuries. The first dropped catch came in the 9th over when Jaker had just come out to bat and was facing Axar Patel who was on a hattrick after sending back Tanzid Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim in back to back deliveries. With three slips in place, Jaker got an outside edge and the ball went straight to Rohit who was standing in the 1st slip. It came at him at a very comfortable height but Rohit dropped an absolute dolly and beat the ground in frustration. The second miss was in the 20th over when Hridoy tried a drive down the ground and the ball sailed straight to Hardik Pandya at …

‘Upbeat’ Bangladesh captain Shanto confident about home-like conditions to help his team against India in Champions Trophy | Cricket News

Published by Webster

On Wednesday as Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto sat for his first media briefing ahead of the Champions Trophy, he spent almost half it answering about their pacers. Out of those a majority were around Nahid Rana, their first 150kmph fast bowler, whose workload is the single most topic of discussion among cricket nerds back home. Shanto would give assurance that Rana is as excited and waiting to have a go against India’s top-order. But not until they saw Rana at the ICC Academy nets did there was a collective sigh of relief. Of the eight teams in the Champions Trophy that also includes Afghanistan, which is making its maiden appearance in the tournament, it is Bangladesh that start as rank outsiders. Ranked No 9 in the rankings, they just sneaked into the tournament on the expense of Sri Lanka via better run-rate at the 2023 World Cup. For the first time since 2007, Bangladesh have arrived for an ICC event sans Shakib Al Hasan, their estranged hero who was not so long ago the …

India vs Bangladesh 1st Test: How Jasprit Bumrah foxed Musfiqur Rahim | Cricket News

Published by Webster

For a young Jasprit Bumrah watching yorkers on television gave him a thrill. It was the first delivery that stuck in his mind. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis were the finest exponents and Bumrah was inspired. Watching Bumrah with a ball in hand is a thrilling experience, even from as far away as the media enclosure at a cricket ground. He bowled a mean yorker on Friday to dismiss Taskin Ahmed. But there was also a beautiful delivery to Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh’s best Test batsman. Batsmen know the ball with their number on it is coming, but more often than not they don’t know what to do when it arrives. They are left clueless and are befuddled when they trudge back to the pavilion. 🧵Bumrah’s ball to dismiss Mushfiqur today was the result of the special skill to make the ball pitch right between the two seams.It won’t move sideways after pitching, but it would bounce up with a bolt upright seam and get into a shape to swing post pitching. 1/ pic.twitter.com/ukI6SZCMlw — Bishontherockz …

3 Bangladesh players who could be a threat to team India in Test series – India TV

Published by Webster

Image Source : AP Bangladesh cricket team training in Chennai ahead of first Test Exactly a month ago, not many would’ve given Bangladesh an ounce of a chance in the two-match Test series against India. But ever since they defeated Pakistan away from home 2-0, many reckon India shouldn’t take Najmul Hossain Shanto and his team lightly. Bangladesh have never beaten India in Tests in 13 matches and have lost 11 of them. But they will be confident of doing well this time around and pushing the hosts to the corner who haven’t lost a single Test series at home since 2012. Bangladesh are touring India for the first time since November 2019 when they were blown away by a Virat Kohli-led Indian team. India defeated them by an innings in both Test matches that were played in Indore and Kolkata. However, a lot has changed since then, especially in the Bangladesh team and several players have stepped up for them. Here we have a look at three players who could pose a massive threat for India in …

India vs Bangladesh Tests: Mushfiqur Rahim, the everyman hero who embodies a country which thinks it has underachieved | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Under the sombre Lord’s sky, a 16-year-old walks out to bat for the first time in a Test match. He looks younger; commentator Mike Atherton says he could pass off as a 10-year-old. He is barely five feet tall; when he coils into his stance, he looks tinier. The English fast bowlers bounding in are giants. Steve Harmison and Andrew Flintoff are six feet four inches, Simon Jones six feet-three; Matthew Hoggard, at six feet-two, is the shortest of the lot. The famous quartet had blown the top order away, and had reclaimed the Ashes a few months ago. But the teenager, with the face of an adolescent and going by the name Mushfiqur Rahim, doesn’t flutter his eyes. Three days ago, after a hundred in a tour game, he made a statement that belied his age. “Age and height are just numbers.” For 57 balls, he justified the talk, blocked and blunted the foursome with the maturity of a seasoned sailor steering a rocking ship through a tempest. He scored only 19, and England …

Top 5 Test scores by Bangladesh batters against India

Published by Parlour News

Bangladesh are a team hungry to prove themselves on their upcoming tour of India, especially since the Tigers have never beaten their neighbours in Test cricket. With recent success in Pakistan during their previous Test series, Bangladesh will be high on confidence and eager for results to match. Mushfiqur Rahim celebrating a century. (AP Photo) Historically, Bangladesh have struggled against India’s bowling attack, managing only six centuries across 13 Test matches since their first encounter in 2000. They will be hoping to add to that tally in the upcoming matches. As Bangladesh’s batting will play a crucial role in making the series competitive, here are the top-5 highest scores by Bangladeshi batters against India. 5. Mushfiqur Rahim, Chattogram, 2010: 101 Bangladesh went toe-to-toe with India in the first match of the 2010 series, played at Chattogram.
