The southpaw, who was struggling initially, put on 290 runs for the second wicket.

Aiming to sweep India 3-0 following its one-wicket and five-run victories in the first two matches, Bangladesh made two changes with batter Yasir Ali replacing Najmul Hossain and fast bowler Taskin Ahmed replacing left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed.
India, which has lost three consecutive ODI series for the first time since 1997, also made two changes.
