KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Mayank Yadav achieved another milestone during 3rd T20I against Bangladesh
- Mayank joined a huge list topped by Bhuvneshwar Kumar
- Mayank played all three T20Is
India continued their domination over Bangladesh and defeated the visiting side by a big 133-run margin to make sure that they returned empty-handed. Led by Rohit Sharma, India won both Test matches to continue their winning streak against Bangladesh. The Suryakumar Yadav-led India whitewashed Bangladesh in the T20I series too.
Bangladesh were never in contention to chase a huge target of 298 in the third game and they made the worst possible start in the chase. Mayank Yadav provided India with a breakthrough on the very first delivery by dismissing Parvez Hossain Emon. The Bangladesh opener departed without troubling the scorers.
Mayank created a record with a wicket on the first delivery and joined Bhuvneshwar Kumar in an elite list. Mayank is now the fourth Indian bowler to take a wicket on the first delivery of a T20I. Bhuvneshwar has done it thrice while Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh have also scalped a wicket on the first delivery of a game.

Mayank followed up with another wicket of Mahmudullah, finishing with figures of 4-0-32-2. Ravi Bishnoi was the pick of the bowlers and he took a three-fer. The leg-spinner completed 50 wickets in T20Is and became the youngest Indian to do so.
Mayank played all three games in the series and scalped 4 wickets. The 22-year-old has not been released by Team India and he will be travelling with the Test team during the series against New Zealand.
Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav punish Bangladesh bowlers
Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav punished the Bangladesh bowlers with their aggressive batting display. Samson, who became the first Indian wicketkeeper to slam a century in T20Is, scored 111 off just 47 balls. Captain Suryakumar hit 75 off 35 balls. The duo added 173 runs for the second wicket in just 11.3 overs. Hardik Pandya (47 off 18) and Riyan Parag (34 off 13) also played their part in the big total of 297.
