LIVE India vs Bangladesh: Fans recall 'LAGAN' as KL Rahul drops easy catch

They say 'Catches win you matches' and that could not have been more true in the game between India and Bangladesh's 1st ODI at Dhaka on Sunday. India were cruising towards victory with just one wicket to get. Bangladesh were 41 runs away from the victory and all India needed was a good ball and they bowled as well but it takes a team effort to win the match and KL Rahul failed to do that with the gloves in hand as he dropped a crucial catch of Mehidy Hasan Miraz who went on to win the game for Bangladesh single-handedly. India were pretty poor on the field in today's match but KL Rahul's drop catch grabbed all the attention.

Despite having a line-up in which batting resources were available till No.9, India had a disappointing time with the bat on a slow pitch, being bundled out for a paltry 186 in 41.2 overs as Shakib Al Hasan used his line, length, and the crease well to pick 5 for 36 while Ebadot Hossain was consistent in his usage of short balls to scalp 4 for 47.
