A clinical Team India kickstarted their ICC Champions Trophy campaign with a commanding six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Dubai. After electing to bowl, India’s bowlers dismantled Bangladesh’s top order. However, a partnership between Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali lifted Bangladesh to 228.
Under lights, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill propelled India’s chase with a 50-run opening stand. Despite minor hiccups, Gill anchored the innings with his eighth ODI century sealing the win with 21 balls to spare. The match, however, was as much about milestones as it was about the result, with multiple records shattered.
All Records Broken in IND vs BAN Clash
1. Most Catches for India in ODIs
Virat Kohli matched Mohammad Azharuddin’s tally of 156 catches in ODIs as the joint leader in the list, cementing his legacy as India’s most prolific non-wicketkeeper fielder. His athleticism and sharp reflexes have made him a vital asset across formats.
2. Second Fastest to Reach 11,000 ODI runs
Rohit became the second-quickest to reach 11,000 ODI runs. He achieved this feat in 261 innings, trailing only Virat Kohli (222 innings). The feat highlights his evolution from a swashbuckling opener to a consistent run-machine, blending aggression with longevity at the top. Rohit smashed a 36-ball-41 against Bangladesh to achieve this feat.
3. Most 5-Wicket Hauls in ICC ODI Tournaments
Mohammed Shami’s 5/53 marked his fifth five-wicket haul which is also the most five-wicket hauls by any bowler in ICC ODI tournaments. Shami was exceptional with the ball in the match and his ability to deliver in high-pressure games solidifies his reputation as India’s premier big-match bowler.
4. Highest Wicket-Taker for India in ICC ODI Tournaments
With 60 scalps, Mohammed Shami surpassed Zaheer Khan (59) and Jasprit Bumrah (42). Shami's mastery in global tournaments, combining pace and precision, has been pivotal to India’s success over the past decade and his remarkable form after his comeback from injury further cements his reputation.
5. Fastest to 200 ODI Wickets by Balls
Mohammed Shami also eclipsed Mitchell Starc (5,240 balls) to claim this record in 5,126 balls. Shami's strike rate of 25.4 and ability to dismantle batting lineups reflect his status as one of the most lethal fast bowlers in modern ODI cricket.
6. Fastest Indian to Eight ODI Hundreds
Shubman Gill broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record of reaching the 8th ODI century in 111 innings, outpacing even Virat Kohli (68 innings) to top the list with 51 innings. At 25, his blend of classical technique and fearless intent signals the rise of India’s next batting superstar.
7. 100 International Wins as Captain
Rohit won 100 international games in just 139 matches becoming the joint-fastest skipper with Ricky Ponting to achieve this feat. Notably, Rohit is also the only captain in the world to achieve 100 international wins as captain after turning 30.
