Feb 13, 2017: In the one-off India-Bangladesh test match, India has beaten Bangladesh by 208 runs. Chasing a daunting target of 459, Bangladesh were all out for 250 in 100.3 overs.
The win was the Indian team’s eighth victory in nine home Tests this season with the only draw coming against England at Rajkot while this was India’s the sixth successive series victory under Virat Kohli starting from Sri Lanka series in 2015.
The Indian bowlers had to show much more patience on a pitch that remained unresponsive entire duration of the match. Spin twins Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin shared 8 wicket with Ishant Sharma bagging 2 wickets.
Ravindra Jadeja got 4/78 in 37 overs while Ravichandran Ashwin bagged 4/73 in 30.3 overs. Ishant Sharma took 2 wickets for 40 runs in 13 overs.
Bangladesh needed to bat out 58 overs in the last two sessions to save the match but Ishant’s brilliant post-lunch spell ended the visitors’ effort to save the match.
