Mahendra Singh Dhoni hammered an impressive century under pressure to power India to a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in a triangular one-day series match here Thursday.
India were struggling at 51-3 before achieving a stiff 297-run target with 15 balls to spare in the day-night match, thanks to a 152-run stand for the fourth wicket between skipper Dhoni (101 not out) and Virat Kohli (91).
The Indian captain hit nine fours in his 107-ball knock for his seventh one-day hundred.
Sri Lanka lead the league table with two wins from as many matches, followed by India (1/2) and Bangladesh (0/2). Each side will play four league games before the top two advance to the final.
Bangladesh earlier impressed with their batting, with openers Imrul Kayes (70) and Tamim Iqbal (60), and Mohammad Mahmudullah (60 not out) helping their team to post the highest one-day total against India.
