Opting not to enforce the follow-on, India batted again and declared their second innings at 287-4, setting Bangladesh an improbable target of 515 runs. Shubman Gill played a smooth knock of 119, while Rishabh Pant contributed with a solid 109. The declaration came after lunch on Day 3, giving India ample time to attack Bangladesh’s lineup.
Chasing a daunting target, Bangladesh struggled to find their footing. Ashwin led the attack with another standout performance, claiming a six-wicket haul. Ravindra Jadeja provided strong support, securing three wickets as Bangladesh crumbled for 234 in their second innings. Despite the determined efforts of Najmul Hussain Shanto and Shadman Islam, India’s bowlers proved too dominant.
The final match of the India vs Bangladesh Test series is set to take place from 27th September to 1st October. Stay tuned to Crickleague.com for the latest updates.
