India lost a nail-biter of a match to Bangladesh here at Shere Bangla Stadium on Sunday by just one run. The Rohit Sharma-led side was bowled out for 186 in 41.2 overs.”It was a very close game. We did very well to come back into the game. We did not bat well. We bowled pretty well and kept them under pressure till the end, “said India captain Rohit Sharma in the post-match presentation ceremony.The Indian team was in a winning position when they had taken nine wickets with Bangladesh needing 51 more runs to win but Mehidy Hasan Miraz along with Mustafizur Rahman held their nerves to pull out an unexpected win from the jaws of defeat. The duo put on 51 runs for the tenth wicket which turned out to be a match-winning partnership.”They held their nerves in the backend. If you look back at how we bowled, of course, the last few overs, we would have liked to get a wicket. We kept taking wickets all through, “explained Rohit Sharma.India being bowled out for 186 and not even playing their full quota of 50 overs turned out to be decisive in the end and the skipper admitted the mistake.”It wasn’t enough runs. Another 30-40 runs would have made a difference. With KL and Washy, we could have got there. Unfortunately, we lost wickets in the middle, and it is not easy to come back,” said Rohit Sharma.
