Overnight batters Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque maintained a steady pace, but Haque fell to Ravichandran Ashwin’s delivery down the leg side, bringing Najmul Hossain Shanto to the crease.
Unfortunately for Bangladesh, their batting order began to collapse as quick wickets fell. Shanto, Litton Das, and Shakib Al Hasan were all dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja, leaving the team in a tough spot.
After Shakib’s soft dismissal, a notable moment occurred when Miraz walked in at number nine, prompting Indian captain Rohit Sharma to playfully tease him.
As Miraz faced challenging deliveries with inconsistent bounce, he struggled to settle in. After the last ball of the 32nd over, Rohit approached Miraz, gesturing with his index finger in a circular motion, subtly encouraging him to be more aggressive.

This playful exchange might have had a deeper context, as Miraz had dismissed Rohit in the first innings. Fans on Twitter quickly reacted to the interaction, flooding social media with their thoughts.
