After Team India registered a stunning victory over Bangladesh, India opener KL Rahul said he knew that he was hitting the ball well in the game.
Fifties from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, and superb bowling spells by bowlers helped India clinch a 5-run victory over Bangladesh in a rain-curtailed clash of Group 2, Super 12 match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup in Adelaide on Wednesday.
In a rain-curtailed 16-over match, Liton Das lit up Bangladesh’s chase with his 60 coming of 27 balls but the batter could not guide his team home. For India, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya bagged two
wickets each.
Rahul set the tone for India’s innings with some breathtaking shots right from the start. He was still going a run-a-ball but things changed when he hit two sixes and a four off Shoriful Islam in the ninth over of the innings. Rahul reached his fifty after playing 31 deliveries.
“Today was my day where I got off to the start. A few shots went on to hit the middle of the bat. I think every innings is important. It is disappointing that you do not perform in a few matches. I knew in my heart that I was hitting the ball well,” KL Rahul said in a post-match presentation.
