Dhaka Capitals captain Thisara Pererra hit the second ton of this BPL after the first was hit by Chittagong King’s Usman Khan earlier this afternoon. However Thisara’s unbeaten 103 off 60, in chase of Khulna Tigers’ 173 for 8, came in vain as his opposite number Mehedi Hasan Miraz had the last laugh as Khulna won by 20 runs.

The acclaimed 37-year-old opener Rohit has had a poor series and the writing was on the wall when he failed to show up for India's pre-match press conference.

Riding on Usman’s 123 off 62 balls, Chittagong amassed 219-5 in 20 overs after being sent in to bat first -- registering the highest total of BPL’s 11th edition, having surpassed Khulna Tigers’ 203-4 against Chittagong.

Walking out at 17/2, Kohli edged a delivery from Scott Boland towards Steve Smith at second slip, with Smith reaching low to his right. With the red Kookaburra wedged between his thumb and index finger, Smith went on to scoop the ball in the direction of Marnus Labuschagne - who caught the ball - before Kohli stood his ground.

Kohli had a huge left-off on his first ball and finally departed for 17, following KL Rahul (4), Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) and Shubman Gill (20) who were out before lunch.

Regular skipper and opener Rohit was "rested" for Sydney Test, India said, after failing to get past 10 runs in any of his five innings during the series, which Australia lead 2-1.
