The second match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was played between India and Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. After winning the toss, Nazmul Shanto Hussain chose to bat first, after which his innings was reduced to 228 runs. In response, the Indian team had a good start. The pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill batted rapidly and took India’s score beyond 60 before the end of the powerplay. However, during this time, dashing batsman Virat Kohli failed to perform well.
returned to the pavilion after scoring 22 runs
After Rohit Sharma’s wicket fell, Virat Kohli was expected to play a brilliant innings. But he returned to the pavilion after scoring 22 runs after playing a tortoise-like innings. He was able to achieve this score with the help of one four in 38 balls. Due to this, Indian fans reprimanded him fiercely on social media and criticized him a lot. While Virat Kohli disappointed the audience with his flop performance, Shubman Gill laid the foundation of Team India’s victory by scoring a stormy century.
