Watch: Suryakumar Yadav signals to Adelaide crowd to keep 'India, India' chant going

India clinched a 5-run victory over Bangladesh in a rain-curtailed clash at the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup in Adelaide on Wednesday moving a step closer to a semi final berth.

Chasing a target of 185, Bangladesh got off to a flying start as their opener Litton Das hammered Indian bowlers all around the ground.

But, after seven overs of the game, the rain stopped the play and Bangladesh needed 119 runs in 78 balls with the score reading 66 without a loss in 7 overs.


At that stage Bangladesh were 17 runs ahead of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method. When play resumed, Bangladesh's revised target was 151 in 16 overs - they needed another 85 in nine overs with all wickets in hand.

But Bangladesh started losing wickets and the equation went down to 31 off 12 balls. Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh kept calm, and finally Bangladesh landed short by just 5 runs.

During a particularly tense phase of play, India's Suryakumar Yadav was caught on camera egging the crowd on to cheer for India. He pointed to the towards the name India on his jersey and gestured to supporters in the crowd to keep the "India, India" chant going.

The video clip was shared by the ICC on their Instagram handle, and it soon went viral.
