Bangladesh opted to bat first in their Champions Trophy opener against India in Dubai but found themselves in deep trouble at 35/5 within the first nine overs. The situation could have been even worse had Rohit Sharma not dropped a straightforward catch off Jaker Ali on Axar Patels hat-trick delivery in the ninth over. Towhid Hridoy, who stitched together a remarkable 154-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Jaker, played a crucial knock of 100 off 118 balls. Reflecting on his innings, Hridoy said he had to fight and find a way to steer Bangladesh to a competitive total, as per ESPNcricinfo.
