In the Super 8 match between Bangladesh and India at T20 World Cup 2024, fast bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib gave an aggressive send-off to India's star batter Virat Kohli. Despite Kohli finding his form back, he couldn't evade Tanzim's lethal delivery that ended his stay at the crease. The video of Tanzim's celebration has taken social media by storm, showing the heated rivalry between the two teams. Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto's decision to bowl first paid off as they restricted India to a small total. On the other hand, India captain Rohit Sharma expressed his desire to bat first if they had won the toss.
Despite a record of 76 runs in four T20 World Cup 2024 innings, none of which went beyond fifty, and dismissal for single digit-scores, batting coach Vikram Rathour has revealed to the media that Virat Kohli is not dropped, nor does the upper order choose to separate the partnership between him and Rohit Sharma. Instead, the decision was made by Rohit Sharma to bat first when India was put in to bat, expecting a good pitch.
