Earlier, the Indian bowlers had restricted Bangladesh to a modest score of 264/7 on a batting-friendly pitch.Here are the best tweets from the game:Pre-match banter scenes on Twitter!

Some interesting facts on Rahim!

Mushfiqur Rahim is so short that he can get LBW out even if ball hits on his helmet. #INDvBAN

Then this Jadhav happened!

Bangladesh prepared for Bhuvi, Boom, Ash and Jaddu.

But, Jadhav came out of syllabus #INDvBAN #CT17

"Ja Dhav" means "Ja Bhaag" in Marathi.

That's exactly what he says to the batsman when he comes to bowl.#INDvBAN
