NEW DELHI: While the arena is celebrating Dinesh Karthik's magical knock that delivered India the Nidahas Trophy, spare a concept for Bangladesh bowler Rubel Hossain who bowled that fateful 19th over which modified the complexion of the competition.
Bangladesh seemed in prime place to seal a memorable win in Colombo on Sunday before the last two overs during which India successfully overhauled the target.
In a heart-rending submit on his professional Facebook web page, pacer Rubel has printed he is gutted after his staff came so close to beating India within the final on Sunday night time before they choked with India sealing a last-ball thriller.
After Mustafizur Rehman's superb over, the 18th of the India innings, left them wanting 34 off the general two, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan handed the ball to Rubel to bowl the penultimate over. And Karthik was within the zone as he hammered a 4 and two sixes off his first three deliveries before finishing the over with some other boundary to plunder 22 from the over.
In the 20th over, bowled via Soumya Sarkar, India needed 12 and by the point 5 balls had been bowled, he had performed neatly to allow seven runs off them. However, Karthik unfurled a flat six over additional duvet to wreck Bangladeshi hearts with Indian staff breaking into wild celebrations after sealing a memorable win.
After the heart-breaking loss, Rubel wrote, " I have been feeling depressed after the match. We never thought that we will come so close to winning the match and then lose it. I apologize to everyone. Please forgive us."
Karthik remained unbeaten on 29 off just eight deliveries as India extended their unbeaten record towards Bangladesh to 8 fits.
