Losing the second ODI match by 5 runs, India is all set to face Bangladesh again. On 10th December the 3rd ODI match is confirmed between the team India and Bangladesh.

India has lost two back-to-back matches with Bangladesh under Rohit Sharma's captaincy. In the last match, Bangladesh's player, Mehidy Hasan Miraz secured his maiden ODI century. His contribution led Bangladesh to win the match.

BCCI has said they'll conduct a review meeting for the ODI and previous World Cup losses. Hardik Pandya is likely to become the captain of the next T20 series. BCCI feels that Rohit's potential has come down as a captain. They were disappointed in India’s batting and team manner in the World Cup. Even though after suffering from severe finger dislocation on the second ODI, Rohit gave his best for team India.

At the very beginning of the second over, Rohit met with a bloodied scene. The finger web of his left thumb and index tore while he was determined to catch Mohammed Siraj's shot. He underwent a scan and even got stitches. It appeared like India would lose after Shardul Thakur was bowled in the 43rd over, but Rohit Sharma unexpectedly stepped out to bat despite having a broken left hand, displaying incredible bravery and grit. He provided the Indian squad with an opportunity to bat. Rohit led the match into the final over after scoring an undefeated 51 off only 28 balls, which included 3 fours and 5 sixes, however, when six were needed off the final ball, Rohit was unable to push the ball over the boundary. He also accomplished a goal and got his name added to the scorebook during his inning. Rohit tallied with a strike rate of 182.14 and smashed five sixes. In terms of the total of sixes, Rohit has compiled 502 and achieved 500 in international cricket. However, Chris Gayle still stands at the top of this list.

Discussing the game, the home team struggled to reach 69/6 in 18.6 overs while batting first before being rescued by Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Together, they scored 149 runs, which was the sixth wicket. While Miraz achieved his first ODI century, Mahmudullah scored 77 runs.

He reached 100 from 83 balls without being dismissed, with eight fours and four sixes. Bangladesh scored 271/7 points in their opening inning. India's first four wickets fell for just 65 runs in 18.3 overs as a response.

Whereas, Shreyas Iyer Scored 82 runs (not out) for 102 balls. The man of the match title was snatched away by Mehidy Hasan, who got the key score of 100 for 83 balls.

Even though India put up a terrific fight late in the match after the early collapse, it was not enough to win.

Netizens couldn't keep calm and bombarded Twitter with memes about the humiliating loss. Whereas, Indian fans are vexed after the consecutive loss to Bangladesh. Fans are looking forward to a heart-healing victory for team India.
