Conclusion
Litton Das’ record vs India reveals a mix of brilliance and opportunities missed — when he gets going, especially in ODIs and at Dubai, he can deliver match-defining innings (121/117 is proof). In T20s, his quick starts and high strike rates show his attacking instincts. His impact is higher when he bats early (positions 1–2) and is given sufficient balls. For future matches, if Litton can translate those explosive starts in T20s into bigger contributions, he’ll be an even bigger asset for Bangladesh.
