The Indian captain was rested from the ongoing three-match T20I series against Bangladesh as part of the team's rotation policy. The swashbuckling batsman made the most of the opportunity as he arrived in Bhutan to celebrate his birthday with none other than his better half, Anushka Sharma. He will be joining the team back for the Test series starting November 14.

Meanwhile, India did not have a great start to the series as Bangladesh registered a historic win over India riding on the back off Mushfiqur Rahim's impressive half-century in New Delhi on Sunday. This was their first win over India in nine T20Is. Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah Riyad won the toss and decided to bowl first. India's batting never really found the momentum as wickets kept tumbling on this two-paced pitch but India managed to score a respectable 148. Bangladesh chased the target down with three balls to spare with Rahim starring for them with the bat, scoring 60 runs off 43 deliveries.
