Rishabh Pant touted to fill in the shoes of former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni had a rather rough day on the field as India lost to Bangladesh in the first T20 on November 3. Rohit Sharma, however, had a hilarious reaction to Pant's failed DRS call. The 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman convinced skipper Rohit Sharma to opt for DRS against Soumya Sarkar on the last ball of the 10th over. Yuzvendra Chahal was seen unsure, although Pant seemed confident. The UltraEdge then showed a flat line as the ball went past the bat. Watch Sharma's hysterical reaction after the decision.

This was Pant's second DRS call that had gone wrong as the young wicket-keeper had earlier failed to spot DRS chances against Mushfiqur Rahim when he was trapped LBW. Netizens flooded Twitter with hilarious memes on Rishabh Pant's bad day and compared him with veteran wicket-keeper MS Dhoni.
Bangladesh registered maiden T20 win against India
In a thrilling last-over match, Captain Mahmudullah finished off in style as Bangladesh beat India in the first T20 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi by 7 wickets. This was also Bangladesh's first victory against the Men in Blue in T20 cricket. The much-speculated match owing to the high pollution levels in Delhi witnessed a low-scoring but a spectacular show from the Bangladesh team as they took the match up till the last over to hand India defeat in the first match of the three-match T20 series.
Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim's partnership
Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim stitched an important partnership to steady the Tiger's ship. However, Khaleel Ahmed scalped Soumya Sarkar on the last ball of the 17th over to get India back into the game. Mushfiqur Rahim was granted a lifeline in 18th over as Krunal Pandya dropped his catch off Chahal's delivery. With 20 to get off the last two overs, Mushfiqur Rahim hit Khaleel for 4 consecutive boundaries to grab the match from India. With just 4 runs needed off the last over, Mahmudullah took Bangladesh home on the fourth delivery with a six.
