India’s morning of dominance

On Day 5, following two rain-affected days that had hampered play, India resumed with renewed vigor. After dismissing two Bangladeshi batters before stumps on Day 4, they continued their assault in the extended morning session. Bumrah’s precision was complemented by Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, both of whom claimed three wickets each. Together, they dismantled Bangladesh’s batting order, leaving them reeling as they lost eight wickets for just 120 runs.

Spin and pace: A winning combination

The second innings saw India’s spin duo of Ashwin and Jadeja work their magic alongside Bumrah. As Bangladesh struggled to build partnerships, they were bowled out for a mere 146 runs. This left India with a modest target of 95 runs to clinch the Test and complete a clean sweep of the two-match series. Ashwin’s figures of 3/50 and Jadeja’s impressive 3/34 highlighted their effectiveness on a pitch that offered assistance to spinners.

Bangladesh’s bleak fightback

Despite their struggles, Bangladesh showed resilience. Shadman Islam emerged as the highest scorer in their second innings with a commendable 50 runs. However, his efforts were not enough to counteract India’s formidable bowling attack. The extended lunch session allowed India to wrap up Bangladesh’s innings efficiently, paving the way for an exciting chase.

A series to remember

India’s victory in this Test not only showcased their bowling prowess but also emphasized their strong position in international cricket. After declaring their first innings at 285/9 and bowling out Bangladesh for 233 in their first innings, India demonstrated an all-round performance that left little doubt about their capabilities. With Bumrah leading the charge and supporting performances from Ashwin and Jadeja, India has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in Test cricket.

Team India chased 95 runs to win the match by seven wickets, after dismissing Bangladesh for a meagre total of 146 in the second innings.
