Later, KL Rahul became the first Indian batsman to have been dismissed via hit-wicket when he departed for 18 runs, giving Jeevan Mendis the wicket. Skipper Rohit Sharma has been out of form and would like to correct that.
Shardul was thrashed for 24 runs in his very first over of the tournament but came back stronger and corrected his errors to finish as the top bowler of the day against Sri Lanka in their second meeting in the tri-series. Dinesh Karthik's 39 off 25 balls against Sri Lanka has ensured that Rishabh Pant will continue to warm the dug-out.
India got back to winning ways against Bangladesh where they chased down 140 with relative ease.
Earlier, India won the toss and made a decision to bowl in what turned out to be a 19-overs-a-side affair due to a 60-minute delayed start. They were "caught by surprise" - in Shardul Thakur's words - against Sri Lanka in the opening match, but since then they have beaten both the hosts and Bangladesh convincingly.
Having suffered an unexpected defeat against Sri Lanka in their tournament-opener, it is highly unlikely that India will experiment against a resurgent Bangladesh in its final league stage match.
Sundar and Rohit power India to victory
In the four games played in the series, the teams that chose to bowl first after winning the toss have gone on to win the match. Nearly as good as Sundar, but not quite, has been the other frontline spinner in India's ranks: Yuzvendra Chahal .

Sharma, however, is not taking anything for granted despite India being one of the favourites to make the final after their second win.
Rohit Sharma scored 60 runs in 6 T20I innings in 2018 at an average of 10. In 17.3 overs by losing four wickets team India made the chase successful. Of course, they did indeed make a comeback, but Mahmudullah's men are now sitting at the wrong end of the points table, something they will be hoping to correct as they face India in the fifth match of the tournament. Thakur has done well in the last two games while Vijay Shankar has also been steady with his variations.
Spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar have also chipped in with disciplined bowling and crucial strikes. He snared but Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan (8) in his first two overs but Suresh Raina (27) with two boundaries and a six helped India to 50 for two in the powerplay.
This is not a 152-run wicket.
Suresh Raina, who has been out of the Indian team for more than a year due to his poor fitness proved once again that is he one of the best fielders in the side.
