‘Ye pari desh yaad rakhegi’ – Fans overjoyed as R Ashwin, Shreyas Iyer guide India to a thrilling series win against Bangladesh
The second Test match between India and Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla National Stadium turned out to be a great thriller.
The second Test match between India and Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla National Stadium turned out to be a great thriller. India found themselves in all sorts of trouble while chasing a small target of 145 runs in the final innings, losing four wickets for a score of 45 at the end of Day 3.
They continued to struggle on day four, losing three early wickets. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the Bangladeshi all-rounder created problems for India with his five-wicket haul. Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Axar Patel, and Rishabh Pant were all dismissed by him. India was reduced to 74/7.
However, all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin and previous innings’ star Shreyas Iyer ensured that they guided their team over the line. The former scored an unbeaten knock of 42 runs in 62 balls, while the latter supported him well with his innings of 29 runs in 46 balls.
Earlier in the game, Umesh Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin took four wickets each to restrict Bangladesh to a score of 227 in the first innings. The visitors responded with a score of 314 to take an 87-run lead in the first innings. Pant and Iyer nearly missed out on their centuries, scoring 93 and 87 runs, respectively.
The Bangla Tigers then bounced back to do well with the bat in the second innings. Zakir Hasan (51) and Litton Das (73) each scored half-centuries to get a total of 231 runs on the board. They managed to set a target of 145 for India to chase down.
Ashwin scored 16 runs in the 47th over of the final innings with the help of a six and two fours to win the game for India by three wickets. With this win, the team led by KL Rahul sealed the series 2-0 and also kept their chances of qualifying for the Test Championship final alive.
Ravichandran Ashwin was named Player of the Match for his outstanding all-round performance in the match. He picked up a total of six wickets and won the match for India with the bat.
