IND vs BAN 2nd T20I: India's Crushing Victory Clinches Series in Delhi

In the second game of their three-game T20I series, India and Bangladesh faced a battle against each other. On October 9, both teams faced off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. India lost the toss and elected to bat first in the opening over. Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma scored 10 and 15 runs, respectively, to start the home team's innings. Following the openers' lacklustre performance, captain Suryakumar Yadav too left early, managing just eight runs. 

After a rocky start, the innings for India were stabilized by the hits of Rinku Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Rinku Singh scored 53 runs in 29 deliveries, while Reddy scored 74 runs in 34 deliveries. In addition, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya performed admirably at the bat.
