India Triumphs Over Bangladesh in Champions Trophy Opener

Shubman Gill's century and Mohammed Shami's record-breaking five-wicket haul propel India to a six-wicket victory in Dubai.

  • Shubman Gill scored his eighth ODI century, an unbeaten 101 off 129 balls, becoming the fastest Indian to reach eight ODI tons in just 51 innings.
  • Mohammed Shami delivered a stellar performance with figures of 5/53, becoming the fastest bowler to 200 ODI wickets in terms of balls bowled and India's leading wicket-taker in ICC ODI events.
  • Towhid Hridoy's maiden ODI century and a record 154-run sixth-wicket stand with Jaker Ali helped Bangladesh recover from 35/5 to post a competitive total of 228.
  • Rohit Sharma crossed 11,000 ODI runs in 261 innings, becoming the second-fastest to achieve the milestone, but fell for 41 after a quick start.
  • India overcame fielding lapses, including dropped catches and missed stumping opportunities, to secure a confident start to their Champions Trophy campaign.
