In what could be a phenomenal turn of events, Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan left Bangladesh shell shocked through their fireworks in the final ODI of the three-match series in Chattogram.
The dynamic duo stitched a mammoth 290-run stand and thus set the record for the highest partnership for any wicket against Bangladesh in ODIs. Furthermore, their valiant efforts powered India to a massive 409, their fourth-highest team total in ODI history.
Top five highest partnerships against Bangladesh in ODIs
- Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan* - 290, Chattogram, 2022
- Quinton De Kock and Hashim Amla - 282*, Kimberley, 2017
- Darren Bravo and Denesh Ramdin - 258, St Kitts, 2014
- Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott - 250, Birmingham, 2010
- DN Chudasama and Kennedy Otieno - 225, Nairobi, 1997
Bangladesh had a promising start, as Mehidy Hasan Miraz removed Shikhar Dhawan cheaply for the second time in this series.
However, the Tigers' joy proved short-lived as Kohli and Kishan didn't let them breathe for the next 32 overs, taking all their bowlers to the cleaners.
While Kishan hammered the fastest double hundred in ODIs, Kohli completed his 72nd international century.
