Mithun falls after poor shot

Mohammad Mithun batted in a very important position, No 4, for Bangladesh in the Indore Test match against India. 

But like the first innings, Mithun failed to score big and got out scoring just 18 off 26 deliveries.

In the first innings, it was a good delivery from Mohammed Shami off which Mithun was dismissed. 

But in the second innings, it was poor shot selection from the Tigers No 4. 

Bangladesh were struggling when Mithun was batting as they lost the wickets of the front three - openers Imrul Kayes and Shadman Islam and interim skipper Mominul Haque.

@BCBtigers interim Test captain @MominulHaque68 stated the obvious as he said they should have batted with more patience after losing the first of two Test matches against @BCCI by an innings and 130 runs at Holkar Cricket Stadium Saturday.https://t.co/ws0FNrlBOm#BCBTIGERS #BCB

A big partnership was required between Mithun and No 5 batsman Mushfiqur Rahim. 

But Mithun departed cheaply in the first ball of the 15th over. 

It was a short-pitched delivery from Shami and Mithun tried to play a pull shot, but lost control completely. 

The ball brushed off the edge and went to the mid-wicket region where Mayank Agarwal took a dolly of a catch. 

Mihun had a great chance to put up a fight but lost it.
