IND vs BAN Champions Trophy 2025 Highlights: Gill's century takes India to win in tournament opener

"I think the first powerplay, the way we batted, the game cost us at that point. Very hard for the lower order to recover. The way Hridoy and Jaker batted was brilliant. We made a couple of mistakes on the field, a couple of dropped catches, a run out. If we had taken those chances, the result could have been different. On this kind of wicket, with the spinners bowling, the ball spinning, Hridoy and Jaker batted brilliantly. I don't think we were a spin bowler short. Mahmudullah got injured. We didn't bowl badly, our quicks. If we had taken an early wicket, the result could have been different," Shanto said.

India have won this. KL Rahul finishes it off in style with a brilliant six. India are off to a winning start in the tournament.

Shubman Gill continues his red-hot form, another magnifcent ton in the ODI format. The 25-year-old just does show any signs of stopping soon. Completing his ton in 125 deliveries, Gill's knock has almost secured the win for the Men in Blue. India now require seven runs to win with six wickets in hand.

India have got to their 200. This is turning out to be a well-measured run-chase. Gill is closing in on a ton

India are on track to hunt down this total despite being four down. Jaker Ali just dropped a sitter of KL Rahul at square leg. That should have been taken. The required rate is only around 4.50

Rishad Hossain sends Axar Patel back to the pavilion. India hoped that Axar would build a partnership alongside Shubman Gill. However, Axar was dismissed after scoring just eight runs in 12 deliveries. India now 144-4 after 30.1 overs.

We are all set for the chase. Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are out in the middle. Taskin Ahmed has the new ball. Off we go!

Bangladesh have been bowled out for 228. Shami didn't get a six-wicket haul after his fifer but he has taken the catch to help Harshit get the last wicket. Hridoy top-edged one and fell to Harshit. India did a pretty well job apart from the few opportunities that they missed.

Hridoy departs after a well deserved ton. Bangladesh limited on a score of 228 runs in the first innings, Harshit Rana takes his third wicket of the day. The Men in Blue have a target of 229 runs to chase down and win their first game of the Champions Trophy 2025.
