Mushfiqur Rahim, 

Man of the Match60*(43): When we were playing in front of a huge crowd, and when the team needs it, nothing like playing an innings like that. Nothing like beating India in India, so this means a lot to me. Soumya and I had a chat, and we thought of dragging the game deep, and any of the quicks could have been targeted for 15-20 in an over because the spinners got a lot of assistance so it was hard to hit them. Naim also played really well at the start. I'm trying my best to evolve as a cricketer, and I will try to perform in each and every game for Bangladesh.

Mahmudullah

(Bangladesh Captain): I think it was all based on how we started. The bowlers did a great job, everyone chipped in. I think we fielded really well and that gave us momentum going into our batting. I think captaincy is made easy because of the boys who have performed really well. I know the Fizz is one of our key bowlers but I think the other bowlers were needed according to the conditions. Mushy was really good and Soumya had a good partnership with him. I think Naim deserves a mention as well. He played really well on debut.

Rohit Sharma

(India Captain): Not to take credit away from Bangladesh. They put us under pressure right from the start when we were batting. It was a defendable score, and we made mistakes on the field. The guys are a bit inexperienced, and they can learn from that, perhaps not make them the next time. The reviews were a mistake from our side, not to talk about it at least, and the first ball he played on the back foot, we thought it was going down leg, and the next one on the front foot, but we forgot how short he is! We weren't up to the mark on the field, but batting-wise I think we put up a competitive score. Chahal was always welcomed into this format. He's crucial to this team, and he showed how important he is in the middle overs, when the batsmen are set. He completely understands what he needs to execute, and that makes it a little easier for the captain as well.

Soumya Sarkar

: We are all happy as it our first T20I win against India. 140 was a good total and they bowled well, but we managed to get over the line. We were not nervous. We were cool, calm and positive of chasing the target down. We miss Tamim and Shakib but the rest of the XI had a positive mindset.

wide

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma turns to the debutant Shivam Dube for the final over. India probably trying to catch Bangladesh by surprise using the relatively unknown Dube. The pacer starts well with a back of length delivery which Mahmudullah charges at but misses. Mahmudullah mistimes the pull on the next ball to long-on and they scamper back for 2 runs. The next ball is down leg. Just 1 run required now. Mahmudullah charges out and heaves at the 3rd ball sending it flying high over long-on for a SIX. That seals it for Bangladesh who record their first-ever victory T20I against India.

Bangladesh 154/3 after 19.3 overs.

SIX! 

Mahmudullah charges out and pulls the 3rd delivery over long-on for a maximum to secure victory.

Bangladesh 145/3 after 19 overs.

Khaleel to bowl the penultimate over. Rahim backs away and steers the 1st ball past backward point for a single. Mahmudullah misses the next ball as it thuds into his pads and they sneak a quick leg bye. Rahim connects beautifully with the pull as he sends the ball flying over backward square leg for FOUR. Rahim then gets low and just scoops the next ball fine past the keeper for back-to-back FOURs. The Bangladeshi isn’t done yet as he slams the 5th delivery which is a low full toss through the gap at point. The last ball just sticks onto the pitch and Rahim gets lucky as a thick outside edge flies through point for another FOUR. 18 runs off the over. Bangladesh now need just 4 runs from the final over.
