Bangladesh off-spinner Sheikh Mahedi Hasan managed to take the wicket of in-form India batter KL Rahul to reduce India to three down for 74 in the 18th over in their pursuit of Bangladesh's target of 265 in the Asia Cup Super Four contest at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday.

Rahul struggled to get going and wanted to break the shackles. He charged down the wicket and looked to go across the leg-side but got too close to the ball and drilled it to mid-wicket after scoring a 39-ball 19.
