Shastri furious with pace trio

Team India Director Ravi Shastri sent out a strong message after Team India's miserable showing in the first One Day International against Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on Thursday.

According to a Times of India report, Shastri gave the players a dressing down after India surrendered meekly to Bangladesh. The hosts stunned Dhoni's boys by 79 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Shastri, who allegedly addressed the players in the dressing room after the match, had made it clear that such a shoddy performance was not acceptable.

Shastri was particularly unhappy with the misfiring pace trio. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma leaked 148 runs in just 19.4 overs as Bangladesh threatened to post over 330 runs at one stage. India did well after the rain break to restrict the hosts to 307 runs.

Shastri was also furious with the approach of Indian players against a Bangladesh side which looked hungry to win. After giving the players the day off on Friday, Shastri supervised the training session on the eve of the second ODI.
