IND vs BAN Highlights: Bumrah And Jadeja Envelop BAN In Extended Session

Bangladesh resumed the fifth day’s play at 26-2 to find themselves another 26 runs behind India. Overnight batter and first innings centurion Mominul Haque became the first man to depart in the day courtesy of some sharp leg-slip fielding from KL Rahul off Ravichandran Ashwin, who picked up his third wicket of the innings.

While captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (19) and opener Shadman Islam (50 off 101) steered Bangladesh past the opening hour without further casualty, Ravindra Jadeja tilted the tide back in India’s favor with a match-defining three-wicket burst. The Indian all-rounder dismissed Shanto and dangermen Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan in the space of just three overs as the visitors slipped to 94-7.

Akash Deep, meanwhile, snagged half-centurion Shadman Islam during his brief spell before Jasprit Bumrah mopped up the Bangladeshi tail to bag figures of 3-17 from 10 overs. Their collective brilliance enveloped Bangladesh’s second innings for 146 in an extended 36-over opening session to set India a 95-run target to seal the series 2-0.

IND vs BAN Highlights: India Seal Chase With Ease To Clinch Series 2-0

In the pursuit of a quick victory, Indian captain Rohit Sharma attacked and perished at the top as he was caught out by Hasan Mahmud at long leg off Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Following Sharma’s dismissal in the third over of the chase for just eight, his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his onslaught and smashed his seventh fifty in Test cricket. Bangladesh did manage to get the wicket of Jaiswal and Gill, but India were never put under pressure and clinched the game by seven wickets.
