After sitting out the first two T20Is, the team management rested Arshdeep Singh and only used one frontline pacer. Ravi Bishnoi took advantage of this opportunity and finished with figures of 4-1-30-3, making history as the youngest Indian bowler to take 50 wickets in a T20 International. Ravi also made a memorable return to the playing XI, taking a three-fer to play a major role in India's win against Bangladesh.
Ravi Bishnoi creates record
Ravi was 24 years and 37 days old when he reached the milestone. He broke the record earlier set by Arshdeep Singh. At the age of 24 196 days, the left-arm bowler achieved 50 wickets in T20 Internationals. Jasprit Bumrah, who was 25 years and 80 days old when he took his 50th wicket in a T20I match, comes next.
"Feeling great with this (50 T20I wickets) small milestone. It is good pressure when you have a healthy competition in the team. I wanted to make the most of this opportunity. It feels good to see the game from the outside as well. You need to work on yourself and work on things accordingly. I had a break for a few days, so I tried to make the most of it," Ravi said after the game.
Sanju Samson's ton help India post 297 runs

During the match, Samson made history by being the first Indian wicketkeeper to reach the three-figure milestone in T20Is. Playing his part, Suryakumar Yadav scored 75 runs in just 35 balls. Bangladesh was crushed by India by an overwhelming 133 runs.
