Choosing field first, Bangladesh’s choice appeared reasonable since India was down to 144 for 6.  But the tide was reversed with an amazing unbroken cooperation between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.  Ashwin showed off his batting ability with an undefeated 102; Jadeja stayed not out on 86.  India’s 195-run stand drove them to a first-day total of 339 for 6.

Day 2:

India continued on their innings, scoring 37 more runs before getting knocked out for 376.  Bangladesh’s reply was poor; they were removed for only 149, therefore giving India a significant 227 run advantage.  With the ball, Ashwin claimed vital wickets.  India opted not to enforce the follow-on and finished their second innings at 81 for 3.

Day 3:

India declared their second innings at 287 for 4, therefore imposing a difficult goal of 515 runs for Bangladesh.  With a dominating 119 off 176 balls—including 10 boundaries and 4 sixes—Shubman Gill stood out.  Bangladesh started its hunt and finished the day at 158 for 4, Najmul Hossain Shanto leading the opposition.

Day 4:

Bangladesh’s aspirations were shattered when they fell short by 280 runs, bowled out for 234.  Ashwin maintained his supremacy; he finished with match stats of 6 for 88 and was rightly voted Player of the Match for his all-around effort.

• Shubman Gill: India’s dominant position was confirmed with a vital second-innings century (119).

• Bangladesh: Najmul Hossain Shanto shown resilience with innings of 82 and 64.
• Taskin Ahmed: Outstanding bowling, testing top order for India.

 Statistical Highlights

 Post-Match Thoughts

This test match spoke to India’s depth and fortitude.  Early disappointments notwithstanding, the lower-middle order’s efforts helped India to turn things around.  Bangladesh had flashes of promise but lacked the consistency needed to match a strong Indian team on their own ground.  The game also underlined the strategic choices, such Bangladesh’s decision to field first,
