World Cup: How India’s bowling attack pegged back Bangladesh on a flat track despite Hardik Pandya’s injury

The flat pitch at Pune offered India’s greatest test yet this World Cup. The difficulties increased when they lost Hardik Pandya in the ninth over, twisting his ankle trying to stop a ball off his own bowling, and escalated further as Shardul Thakur bled runs at the start of his spell.
