Team India lost the ODI series against Bangladesh by showing a very poor game. Team India also got defeated in the second match of the 3-match series and thus lost the ODI series to Bangladesh for the second time in a row. Batting first, Bangladesh scored 271 runs and in response Team India remained 5 runs away from the target. India scored 266 runs in the allotted 50 overs.
This defeat could have been bigger but in the end captain Rohit Sharma hit 51 runs despite being injured. Apart from them, Akshar Patel and Shreyas Iyer also played half-century innings. Iyer scored 82 and Akshar Patel scored 56 runs. Now the question is, how did a strong team like India lose the ODI series to Bangladesh? Let us tell you five big reasons for this.
batting flop
Team India’s strong side is considered to be its batting, but in both the matches of the ODI series, its batsmen did not work. Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan did not score runs in both the matches. KL Rahul scored runs in the first match but in the second he was dismissed after disappointing batting. Despite the presence of such big batsmen in the team, the series was lost to Bangladesh.
The bowlers let the match go out of hand
The bowlers of Team India also disappointed with their performance. In the first match, Team India had a chance to win but they could not take the last wicket of Bangladesh. For the last wicket, Mustafizur and Mehdi Hasan Miraj shared a half-century partnership to win the team. The same happened in the second match as well. At one time Bangladesh had lost 6 wickets for just 69 runs but then the bowlers gave them a chance to come back. Bangladesh scored a score of 271 runs.
Series lost due to poor fielding
Let us tell you that the fielding of Team India was also disappointing in the ODI series. Especially in the first match, the way KL Rahul missed an easy catch and Washington Sundar did not try to catch Miraj’s catch, it cost the team dearly. Had these catches been caught, the team might not have lost the series.
poor captaincy-management
The major reason for Team India’s defeat is poor captaincy and team management. It is not known under what thinking the team is going on the field. These form players are being given rest and out of form players are constantly getting opportunities. Along with this, the captaincy of Rohit Sharma is also looking average. This is the reason that once again after the year 2015, Team India has lost the ODI series in Bangladesh.
