The third six came behind mid wicket.
He was eventually sent back by Mustafizur Rehman, who bowled a slower ball, but not before receiving a standing ovation.
Chasing the 220 plus total, opener Parvez Hossain Emon came out with an aggressive intent as he pumped the ball to the boundary three time but Arshdeep Singh had the last laugh as the left-arm seamer claimed the Bangladeshi’s wicket in his next over.
Once the Indians spinners started operating, Bangladesh lost wickets at regular intervals.
Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was next to go as he became Washington Sundar’s first victim.
Opener Litton Das’ woeful run continued as mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy struck off his very first ball, continuing from where he left off.
The Bangladesh batter found the going tough and seemed happy to deal in singles with the required run rate skyrocketing.
Veteran batter Mahmudullah (41 off 39), who is playing his penultimate T20I, was the lone warrior for Bangladesh.
Earlier put into bat, the Indian top-order was outfoxed by the pace trio of Tanzim Hasan (2/26), Mustafizur Rehman (2/36) and Taskin Ahmed (2/16).
They varied their pace to get the desired results.
Bangladesh started the innings with some spin in the form of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Sanju Samson (10) punished the off-spinner with back-to-back boundaries to plunder 15 runs from the first over.
But Samson bungled up his start, getting out to Taskin in the next over.
After only two runs in the second over, Abhishek Sharma (15) slammed back-to-back boundaries and looked to slog Tanzim Hasan but the 147kmph delivery induced an inside edge, which resulted in his off-stump going for a walk.
Shanto introduced Mustafizur into the attack in the sixth over and the experienced campaigner started off with slower deliveries, with the third one paying dividends as Suryakumar Yadav chipped a cutter straight into the hands off Shanto as India lost their third wicket in the powerplay.
