The star opener, who had struggled for runs in recent outings, scored 50 and gave India a solid start after Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan invited India to bat first. Riding on their innings and R Ashwin’s final over cameo, India piled up a massive 184/6 in 20 overs.
Bangladesh, in turn, got off to a fast start, with Litton Das leading the charge. Das then went on to slam a 21-ball fifty, shifting the momentum back in Bangladesh’s favor until rain forced the action to halt.
The target was reduced to 151 in 16 overs due to the forced interruption. After the interval, Bangladesh began to lose wickets quickly, and it was at this point that India’s star batsman Suryakumar Yadav made an incredible gesture towards the spectators.

The antics didn’t stop there, and as we approached the far-away fence, he placed his hands on his ears, making a gesture that he still couldn’t hear. ICC posted the video with the caption Indian and proud.
As a result, India has moved to the top of Group 2’s points table, with six points from four games. They will face Zimbabwe in their next match on Sunday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
