India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Highlights: India won by 7 wickets.
Suryakumar Yadav's India won the toss and chose to bowl first in the opening match of the three-match T20I series at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior on Sunday. Debut caps were awarded to Mayank Yadav and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
Following the retirement of cricket legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, India has been in a period of transition as they prepare for the 2026 T20 World Cup. The team has shown strength in both batting and bowling departments, and with Bangladesh struggling in white-ball cricket recently, India is optimistic about their chances in the series.
On the other hand, many Bangladesh players in the T20I squad are looking to redeem themselves after suffering heavy defeats in the Test matches earlier in the month. While the bowlers have shown resilience, the team is relying on their experienced batsmen to provide the necessary firepower to compete against the formidable Indian side.
Follow highlights of India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I from Gwalior here.
FOUR! Hardik plays it cool, effortlessly ramping the ball behind the keeper without a second glance and scoring a boundary. Another FOUR! Hardik manages to find the boundary behind point, even though his bat slips out of his hand and falls on the leg-side of the field. And a SIX! Hardik smashes it over deep midwicket for a maximum, sealing the deal for India with a seven-wicket victory
BAN 127 (19.5)
IND 132/3 (11.5)
Suryakumar smashes it over the long-on boundary for a massive six! Mustafizur made the mistake of pitching it too full. But wait, he's out! Suryakumar tried the same shot again, but this time he found the fine-leg fielder and had to walk back to the pavilion.
Abhishek smashes the ball over the long-off boundary effortlessly for a six! The ball was pitched up outside off, and Abhishek hit it cleanly through the line, giving it a slight slice. Next, he slashes hard outside off, sending the ball racing to the third-man boundary for a four. And another four comes from a lucky inside edge as Abhishek steps down the track, aiming for the leg-side boundary. The ball sneaks past the wicketkeeper and runs away for more runs.
What a shot by Samson! He just hit a beautiful straight drive for a boundary. The next ball was defended well back to the bowler by Samson. And another boundary! This time he beats mid-off for his second boundary of the over.
Taskin was swatted by Miraz to deep square, and he tried to go for a second run but took too long to leave the crease. As a result, he was run out at the bowler's end. Shoriful Islam came in next, but only managed to get a single at long-off. Unfortunately, he missed the first ball he faced and ended up getting his off-stump uprooted.
Debutant Nitish missed the ball at deep square-leg as Hridoy attempted a slog sweep, resulting in a boundary. Hridoy then pulled a short ball for another four runs. Shanto finished the over with a reverse-sweep that just cleared the rope at deep point for a six!
FOUR! Litton kicks off the match with a boundary. A thick outside edge sends the ball racing to the third-man boundary.
Litton is out next ball. A wide delivery outside off causes him to slice it high in the air, and Rinku Singh makes an easy catch.
