Mirpur (Bangladesh), March 7 BCCI president Shashank Manohar congratulated the memebers of the Indian team after they defeated Bangladesh in the Asia Cup final at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium here on Sunday evening.

Dhawan scored 60 while Kohli remained unbeaten on 41.
"With the Asia Cup triumph, Team India have proved their dominance in the shortest format of the game and emerged as the best T20 side in Asia. I extend my hearty congratulations to the team on their convincing win over Bangladesh in the final," Board of Control for Cricket in India chief Manohar said in a statement.
"With India set to host the ICC World T20, this win is a step in the right direction," he added.
