India vs Bangladesh highlights, Champions Trophy 2025: Shubman Gill slams unbeaten ton to power India to six-wicket win over Bangladesh

Before you come and play you got to be confident. As the game goes on there are different emotions that come through. But there is a lot of experience in that dressing room.
Gill and KL played really well. Very hard to say that after just one game. You play the conditions and try and think about what you do. We assessed the conditions well as a team. You are bound to be under pressure. Very happy for him, long time waiting. We know what he brings to us. We need guys like this to stand up when we need

- Rohit Sharma, India captain

Losing five wickets in the powerplay cost us the game. I think so. Hridoy and Jaker batted brilliantly but we still made mistakes on the field. Dropped catches and a few runouts missed, the result could have been different. Impressive batting from Hridoy against their spinners. I hope they will continue doing the same. I don't think so. If we got wickets with the new ball it could have been different.

- Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh captain

Definitely one of my most satisfying innings I have played. When me and Rohit bhai went out there we decided not cutting the ball so I started using my feet to the fast bowlers as well. When Virat bhai came we were talking about front foot shots being difficult so we planned to play more off the back foot. The first one gave me a lot of confidence and the second one helped me get closer to my hundred so both are satisfying.

- SHUBMAN GILL

A brilliant century from Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami’s five-wicket haul powered India to a commanding six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their ICC Champions Trophy opener in Dubai on Thursday.

Chasing 229, India got off to a strong start with a 69-run opening stand before a brief stumble at 144/4. However, Gill’s composed century, alongside KL Rahul’s steady knock, ensured a comfortable win.

India have made a successful start to their Champions Trophy campaign. While the victory wasn't overwhelming, it was adequately convincing. Bangladesh displayed commendable bowling performance, but their fate was sealed during the initial 10 overs of their batting innings.

SIX! KL Rahul finishes off in style. He dispatches Tanzim Hasan over backward square leg for a maximum to seal the deal for India. India off to a winning start in the Champions Trophy 2025.

WICKET!

Rishad Hossain removes Virat Kohli for 22 runs. India lose their second wicket as Virat Kohli's innings comes to an end! Rishad Hossain delivers a flighted ball on a good length near the off stump. The ball spins away from the right-handed batsman and skids after pitching. Kohli moves deep into his crease, shifts back and across whilst creating space to play the cut shot. However, he fails to keep the ball down and presents a straightforward catch to Soumya Sarkar positioned at short third.

INDIA 112/2 in 22.5 overs vs BANGLADESH (TARGET: 229)

FOUR! Poor delivery from Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Kohli pulls between backward square-leg and short fine-leg for a boundary. First boundary for Kohli in the innings.

100 comes up for India. They need 128 more runs to win the match.

Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill are looking solid in the middle. Shubman is nearing his fifty and Virat is dealing in singles, rotating strikes with Shubman.

Hitman Rohit Sharma on Thursday achieved a major milestone, reaching the 11,000-run mark in one-day internationals to become the second-fastest to the feat.

The skipper got to the record during India's Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Rohit reached the feat in his 261st innings, placing him only behind Virat Kohli, who achieved it in 222 innings. Batting great Sachin Tendulkar did the same in 276 ODI innings.

The 37-year-old needed just 12 runs to reach the feat and achieved it with a boundary off Mustafizur Rahman in the fourth over of India's chase of 229.

With the record, Rohit became the fourth Indian after Sachin, Kohli and Sourav Ganguly and 10th overall to get to 11,000-run mark

Fewest innings to 11,000 ODI runs

222 Virat Kohli

After giving India a fast start in the chase, Rohit was dismissed by Taskin Ahmed in the 10th over after cracking a breezy 36-ball 41.

DRINKS BREAK!

The scoring rate has slightly decreased following Rohit's dismissal, yet both batsmen are effectively rotating the strike through ones and twos. Gill appears composed at the crease, capitalising on any loose deliveries.

The absence of dew thus far suggests that spinners Rishad Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz could be effective, particularly as the pitch shows signs of fatigue and reduced pace.

Nevertheless, India remains in a strong position, needing 138 runs with nine wickets intact and substantial batting resources available.

For Bangladesh to mount a challenge, they must claim multiple wickets in quick succession.

FOUR! Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Shubman Gill. The right hander comes down the track and whacks the ball over deep extra cover region for a boundary. Powerful hit from Shubman Gill.

WICKET!

Taskin Ahmed strikes, Rohit Sharma falls for 41 runs. BREAKTHROUGH FOR BANGLADESH! They secure their first wicket by dismissing India's captain, Rohit Sharma. Taskin Ahmed delivers from over the wicket with a hard-length ball outside off stump. Rohit advances down the pitch, attempting an inside-out lofted shot over cover. Unable to reach the ball's pitch, his bat face twists upon contact. The ball soars towards cover point, where Rishad Hossain, stepping back from the inner circle, maintains focus and completes a composed catch at waist level.

INDIA 69/1 in 9.5 overs vs BANGLADESH (TARGET: 229)

Virat Kohli on Thursday reached a significant milestone in One-day Internationals, equalling Mohammad Azharuddin's record for most catches for India during the Champions Trophy clash against Bangladesh in Dubai.

The record-equalling moment for Kohli came in the 43rd over when he caught Jaker Ali's top-edge off Mohammed Shami's bowling at long-on.

The catch marked his 156th in the format.

Kohli and Azharuddin now share the top spot for India, ahead of Sachin Tendulkar (140), Rahul Dravid (124), and Suresh Raina (102).

Most catches as fielder for India (ODI)

156 Mohd Azharuddin

Overall, in international cricket, they rank only behind Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene (218) and Australia's Ricky Ponting (160).

The match also saw Shami achieve his 200th ODI wicket, making him the fastest Indian to reach this milestone. The veteran quick surpassed Zaheer Khan to become India's leading wicket-taker in ICC white-ball tournaments (60).

Bangladesh, who found themselves reeling at 35 for 5 rode on Jaker and Towhid Hridoy (100) knocks to get to a respectable 228.

SIX! What a shot. Shubman Gill stays back, picks the length and smashes the ball over deep mid wicket fence. Rohit has a big smile on his face.

Veteran pacer Mohammed Shami once again delivered on the big stage, claiming his sixth five-wicket haul in ODIs as India bowled out Bangladesh for 228 in 49.4 overs in their Group A clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday. On a sluggish pitch, Shami was India’s standout bowler, striking both in the powerplay and at the death to secure his fifth five-for in an ICC ODI tournament. He found solid support from debutant Harshit Rana (3/31) and Axar Patel (2/43), though the latter missed out on a hat-trick.

India’s fielding, however, was inconsistent, with some lapses allowing Bangladesh to recover from 35/5 to a competitive total, thanks to a gritty 154-run sixth-wicket stand between Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali.

Jaker fought his way to 68 off 114 balls, while Hridoy registered his maiden international century with a composed 118-ball knock, ensuring Bangladesh had something to defend.

Shami provided India’s first breakthrough, getting one to seam in and take the inside edge of Soumya Sarkar’s attempted drive, with KL Rahul completing a simple catch. Moments later, Harshit Rana struck, dismissing Najmul Hossain Shanto, who failed to keep his drive down and was caught at short cover.

Despite Tanzid Hasan’s promising start, Bangladesh’s struggles continued as Mehidy Hasan Miraz slashed hard off Shami, only to be caught at first slip. Tanzid soon followed, nicking Axar Patel behind to Rahul.

Axar then struck again the very next ball, this time turning one away to find Mushfiqur Rahim’s edge, handing Rahul his third catch. Axar was on a hat-trick, but Rohit Sharma spilled a regulation catch at first slip off Jaker Ali, denying the left-arm spinner a historic moment. By the end of the first powerplay, Bangladesh were reeling at 39/5.

From there, Jaker and Hridoy showed patience and resilience, rotating the strike and capitalizing on loose deliveries. India’s fielding woes continued, with Hardik Pandya dropping Hridoy on 23 at mid-off and KL Rahul missing a stumping chance against Jaker when he was on 24.

Jaker, after a 63-ball boundary drought, broke free with a stylish on-drive off Harshit before sweeping Kuldeep Yadav for another four. He brought up his second ODI fifty in 87 balls, while Hridoy followed suit in the next over, reaching his fifty off 85 balls.

Hridoy then shifted gears, lofting and slog-sweeping Kuldeep and Jadeja for sixes, while Jaker kept the scoreboard ticking. Their partnership set a new record for the highest sixth-wicket stand in Champions Trophy history and against India in ODIs.

However, India finally broke through when Jaker toe-ended a wide slower ball from Shami to long-on, handing the veteran pacer his 200th ODI wicket. With Hridoy battling exhaustion in the Dubai heat, Rishad Hossain played a fiery cameo, smashing Axar Patel for a four and two sixes before miscuing one straight to short third off Harshit.

Shami then sent Tanzim Hasan Sakib’s stumps flying before a determined Hridoy, despite struggling with cramps, brought up his maiden ODI hundred in 114 balls with a powerful drive for four. Shami completed his five-wicket haul when Taskin Ahmed holed out to deep mid-wicket, while Harshit wrapped up the innings by getting Hridoy to top-edge a short ball to short fine leg, capping off an impressive three-wicket haul on his Champions Trophy debut.

Three boundaries from Rohit off Mustafizur's over. 12 runs off Mustafizur's over. Rohit Sharma is shifting gears now. INDIA 35/0 in 6 overs, need 194 more to win the match.

FOUR! FOUR! Rohit Sharma whacks Mustafizur Rahman for back-to-back fours. First towards cover-point and now towards long off. Powerful hit from the Indian skipper.

INDIA 31/0 in 5.4 overs vs BANGLADESH

FOUR! After numerous swing and miss, Rohit finally manages to find the fence. Outside the leg-stump from Mustafizur. Rohit sends the bowler towards deep backward square-leg region.

FOUR! What a shot from Shubman Gill. He dances down the track and smashes Taskin Ahmed over covers for a boundary. Brilliant shot from the right hander.

FOUR! Taskin Ahmed to Shubman Gill. The right hander sends the Bangladesh pacer towards deep square leg fence. First boundary of India innings.

India openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are in the middle. Taskin Ahmed will open the attack for Bangladesh. India need 229 runs to win their opening match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Pacer Mohammed Shami made a sensational return to ICC tournaments, claiming a five-wicket haul as Bangladesh, powered by Towhid Hridoy’s maiden international century, recovered from a disastrous start to post 228 all out against India in their Champions Trophy opener on Thursday.

Shami also reached a personal milestone, picking up his 200th ODI wicket during the innings.

After opting to bat, Bangladesh found themselves in deep trouble at 35/5, with Shami and left-arm spinner Axar Patel (2/43) causing early damage. Axar came close to a hat-trick, but India skipper Rohit Sharma dropped a straightforward chance at first slip off Jaker Ali’s bat. Ali went on to score a fighting 68 off 114 balls.

Hridoy, displaying great technique and temperament, anchored the innings alongside Ali, stitching together a crucial 154-run stand for the sixth wicket. India also missed an early chance to remove Hridoy when Hardik Pandya put down a catch at mid-off while he was on 23.

Bangladesh staged a commendable recovery to reach 228, primarily due to the resilience of Jaker Ali and Tawhid Hridoy. After a disastrous start that saw them reeling at 35 for five wickets, these two batsmen displayed remarkable composure and resolve at the wicket, enabling their side to surpass 200 runs.

Shami secures a towering catch, whilst Harshit Rana wraps up the innings as Bangladesh are dismissed in the final over. Rana delivers a firm-length ball targeting middle stump, and Tawhid Hridoy attempts to get beneath it whilst staying low, but gets a top edge that travels towards leg gully. Shami moves in from short fine leg to complete the catch, concluding Hridoy's brilliant innings. Hridoy departs after scoring precisely 100 runs, with Bangladesh's final total reaching 228!

Delivering from around the wicket, he bowls a slower one at good length, angling into the pads. Taskin Ahmed stoops low and attempts a flick shot, sending the ball high towards deep mid-wicket. Shreyas Iyer positions himself perfectly to complete a comfortable catch, leaving Bangladesh with their ninth wicket down.

He scores the milestone run by deftly placing a delivery that landed marginally short of good length outside off stump. The ball races through the vacant region in front of square on the off side for a single.

Pace spearhead Mohammed Shami on Thursday has etched his name in history books, becoming the fastest to reach 200 ODI wickets (in terms of balls bowled) during India's Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh in Dubai.

Shami achieved the milestone in 5,126 deliveries, surpassing Australian quick Mitchell Starc and several other legendary fast bowlers.

Starc, the left-arm speedster, previously held the record, reaching the landmark in 5,240 balls, followed by Pakistan's spin maestro Saqlain Mushtaq at 5,451 deliveries.

The list also includes some of the most feared bowlers in cricket history: Australian great Brett Lee (5,640 balls), New Zealand’s swing specialist Trent Boult (5,783 balls), and Pakistan’s legendary pacer Waqar Younis (5,883 balls).

Shami achieved another remarkable milestone by becoming the highest wicket-taker for India in ICC limited-overs competitions, with an impressive tally of 72 dismissals across ICC events (ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy).

The veteran speedster's record comprises 55 scalps in 18 ODI World Cup fixtures, 14 wickets across 14 T20 World Cup matches, and three dismissals from his sole Champions Trophy appearance.

Shami surpassed Zaheer Khan's milestone of 71 wickets. The former left-arm bowler had accumulated 44 wickets in 23 ODI World Cup fixtures, while securing 15 wickets across nine Champions Trophy games and claiming 12 wickets in 12 T20 World Cup encounters.

Tawhid Hridoy is experiencing severe fitness issues and has collapsed on the field in excruciating pain. After facing a back-of-length delivery pitched outside off stump, he attempted a shot towards cover whilst standing upright. The ball failed to breach the inner field, and he now requires additional medical attention from the physiotherapist.

The situation has worsened as Hridoy has fallen again, visibly distressed from a left leg cramp. The physiotherapist has rushed to his assistance immediately. The medical staff is helping Hridoy with stretching routines. With support from the physiotherapist, he manages to stand up, consumes some liquids for hydration, and takes a couple of tablets.
