India beat Bangladesh by one run in an epic encounter on March 23 — dropped catches, scoops and run-outs were all part of the stunning match.
It was quite a roller-coaster ride, and the Twitteratti went from disappointed to shocked to elated.
Here’s how it went…
First it was Bumrah dropping a catch:
If you drop catches like that, go to Pakistan.

Both Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur are experienced batsmen. But their experience has largely been losing to India.#IndvsBan
