IND vs BAN Live Score 3rd T20I: Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav Stamp Authority

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 3rd T20I: Follow latest updates in Hyderabad.

Suryakumar Yadav and Co. will be looking to extend their dominance over Bangladesh in the final T20I of the series at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Team India put in outstanding performances in the first two games and overwhelmed the Bangla Tigers who couldn't match the intensity. The Indian batters adopted a fearless batting approach as the Bangladesh bowlers were completely clueless to counter them.

The only thing that didn't work for India in the first two games was the opening pair as the pressure is now building heavily on Samson to prove his worth in the final T20I. Samson failed to prove his consistency in the Indian colors and is once again on the verge of elimination. Samson played a desperate aerial shot to break free but failed to judge the ball and only managed to chip it straight to Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto for just 10 midway through the game. The wicketkeeper-batsman also failed to convert a good start into a big blow, scoring a score in the series opener and being dismissed for 29.

Meanwhile, Abhishek also failed to get going in the first two games and will now be keen to unleash his fearless batting style in Hyderabad, where he scored a plethora of runs in the IPL this year. The Indian team think tank will decide whether to hand over a game to other worthy names on the bench such as leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi and all-rounder Harshit Rana.

It is clear that Gambhir and his backroom colleagues have started the process of finding competent support for the frontline players, keeping in mind the long-term goals such as next year's ICC event.

Be it pacer Mayank Yadav or spinner Varun Chakravarthy, Gambhir wants to take a closer look at them and assess their readiness for the tougher tests ahead.

They didn't disappoint in this series either.

Mayank, who has missed a lot of action since IPL 2024 due to injury, bowled at over 150 clicks while Chakravarthy returned with a three-wicket haul in his first outing in blue in three years in Gwalior.

Meanwhile, it will be the last T20I game of former Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah, who has announced his retirement from the shortest format.

The 38-year-old asserted that he had already decided to say goodbye to the shortest format before the series began as he would now completely shift his focus to ODIs.

“I am retiring from T20I cricket after the last match of this series. I had made a preliminary decision before coming here,” said Mahmudullah. “I talked to my family. I also spoke to the coach (Chandika Hathurusinghe), the captain (Najmul Hossain Shanto), the chief selector (Gazi Ashraf Hossain) and the chairman (Faruque Ahmed). I think that's right.” “It's time for me and the team to move away from this format,” he said on the eve of the second T20I match against India.
