What the captain said about Liton's out and batting

The mountain-like target of 511 runs welcomed the Tigers to attempt to climb it, but Shanto and Liton's wickets were self-inflicted. It's hard to say anything about Liton's dismissal. Later, reflecting on his own dismissal, Liton commented that it wasn't appropriate to play such a shot, which ultimately led to his downfall. After making a mistake, Liton and the batting coach discussed better plans for the future.

On the previous day, when Sri Lanka set a challenging target of 511 runs, Bangladesh's innings got off to a disastrous start. Another batting failure ensued, a severe batting failure. Losing by just 37 runs, Bangladesh found themselves five wickets down. Three of the five batters returned to the pavilion with zero runs, among whom Liton Das suffered a golden duck.

Attempting to hit sixes on the very first ball, Liton again fell prey to a golden duck. Earlier, captain Shanto was caught at slip while trying to flick a ball directed outside off stump. These two wickets lost in the final session of yesterday's play summed up the tale of the Tigers' batting failure.

When Bangladesh was four wickets down for just 37 runs in the second innings, Liton attempted a catch within 30 yards. Today, Shanto wanted to know from Liton what he had done - a suicidal shot?

During the post-match press conference after the defeat, Nazmul Hossain Shanto commented on Liton Das's batting and dismissal, saying, "The batting coach is there to talk about specific shots. I don't want to say much about this dismissal. If it were behind the wickets, there wouldn't have been so much talk about it. Out is out. However, the batting coach or Liton himself will plan better for such dismissals in the future."

Excluded from the Chittagong Test squad and returning to Sylhet, Liton Das faced another failure here, getting a golden duck after scoring 25 in the first innings. Regarding Liton's dismissal and his presence during these tough times, the captain stated, "When Liton was absent in the last ODI, we were concerned about his break because he's a very important player for us. He's one of the best batters in our team. So far, a few innings have gone badly. At this time, it's appropriate for us to stand by him. From the coaching staff to all the players, everyone is supporting him. He's also thinking about it himself. I am very optimistic that Liton will perform well in the next match."
