“I noticed [MS] Dhoni gave the ball to Hardik [Pandya], I’ve to go to the bathroom. I used to be not one to face stress.

That nice Bangladesh character Mushfiqur Rahim would hit the second and third balls to the boundary and he wanted simply 2 in three balls.
Shastri says he goes to the bathroom, locks himself and waits. In between, Nehra talks to Pandya, Dhoni in all places and the gang stops respiration. Quite just a few Sri Lankan followers are additionally within the recreation, having had their notorious serpent-brawl with Bangladesh till then. When Rahim hit Dhoni for a boundary on the third ball, he would scream and roar in celebration. Just 2 wanted, with 3 balls left, he in all probability thought it was executed.
Hardik used to ship a gradual brief which Rahim needed to get off the bottom however would discover Shikhar Dhawan at deep midwicket. Nehra once more left with Pandya and Dhoni.
Dhoni removes Ravindra Jadeja from cowl to deep midwicket. Pandya was unable to land the ball, slipping a full toss and Mahmudullah, who was crossed throughout Rahim’s wicket, swings it in direction of Jadeja, who runs to take a positive tumbling catch. An animated Rohit Sharma who ran near him hugged him.
Before the final ball, Nehra once more spoke to Dhoni, Hardik, Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli.
Mujtafizur Rahman stood on the non-striker’s finish. A 12 months in the past, he was slammed to the bottom by Dhoni whereas working for a single, and an enormous controversy broke out. Mujtfizur got here in the way in which of Rohit Sharma working between the wickets in his first spell and the Indians didn’t like his intrusion. When he got here once more in his second spell, Dhoni gave him a shoulder.
A day later, Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan stated the hosts didn’t count on it from a participant of Dhoni’s stature. “We didn’t like what Dhoni did yesterday. This (by pushing Rahman) was never expected from him,” he told reporters. “We play to extend our friendship and do solely those that have animosity.” Suresh Raina will even have his say. “It would have been disturbing if one among our batsmen bought run out due to him. He collided with Rohit after which MS Dhoni. Anyone might get severely harm. When batsmen are working they need to study to remain off the pitch.
Main traits:
Bangalore again on the final ball of the sport. Shastri was in all probability nonetheless in the bathroom, Dhoni standing behind the stumps, pulling off his proper glove simply earlier than Hardik might bowl. Before the discharge, Mujtfizur was out of the crease. It’s Hardik and never Ashwin there, fortunately for him.
This bouncer is properly outdoors, Shuvgata Home has a swing and a miss. Mustafizur Rahman runs, Dhoni runs, Pandya runs, shut fielders run in direction of each ends. Dhoni doesn’t throw the ball in any respect. Mustafizur stops, leans ahead with the bat outstretched. Dhoni ran to the stumps to get the bails out. Not fairly a Jonty Rhodes second, however virtually.
