Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja reaped the spoils of Bangladesh’s collapse on Day 4 in Chennai as the Indian team took a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series.

Here’s the timeline of how IND vs BAN panned out in Chennai:

IND vs BAN Highlights: Najmul Shanto, Shakib Steer BAN To Safety Till Drinks

Overnight batters Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan saw off the opening hour without further casualty after resuming their run-chase on Day 4 at 158-4. The two senior Bangladeshi batters extracted 36 runs from 14 overs’ worth of play as the visitors safely reached 194-4.

Taking drinks at the time, Bangladesh still found themselves another 321 runs away from an unlikely victory.

In the first over after drinks break, senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin delivered the early breakthrough for Team India by getting rid of a well-set Shakib Al Hasan (25 off 56) at 194-5. Ashwin also cut short Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s stay at the crease to record his 37th five-wicket haul in Test, thus equaling Australian spin wizard Shane Warne in the process.


Ravindra Jadeja also blazed into action by snaring the wicket of Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter and danger-man Litton Das for just a single as the tourists slipped to 222-7.

Ashwin himself bagged 6-88 from 21 overs to add to his first-innings century as his all-round brilliance ensured Team India sealed the opening Test by 280 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
