Rohit Sharma was leading the team as Kohli is rested. India lost the toss and was invited to bat first. Batting first India posted 148 and gave a target of 149 to Bangladesh. The Tigers achieved the target with three balls to spare and 7 seven in hands.
Initially, there was a lot of talk about the game will proceed or not after looking at the Air Quality Index in Delhi as Pollution body control declares a public health emergency in the national capital. BCCI President Sourav Ganguly told the game will proceed.

Rohit Sharma intentionally lost the match so that Indians don’t burst residual crackers from Diwali on Indian victory and contribute to already prevailing #DelhiAirEmergency.
Cricketer Rohit Sharma might’ve lost, Environmentalist Rohit Sharma won. What a man! Salute! #IndvsBan.

Pollution level Alarming, breathlessness all over Delhi.
And still 40 thousand attendance in Kotla.
Surely Cricket is the biggest thing in India.#IndvsBan
