Even during the World Cup, cricket fans were thrilled with India’s landslide victory over Bangladesh. Chasing India’s 513 in the first Test, the Bangladesh challenge ended with 316, a sensational 197 run victory for India.
Shakib scored 82 for Bangladesh to 272 for six on stumps on day four, but the field was filled with some big shots but the fight finished ahead of Kuldeep, and the Kuldeep-Axar partnership soon turned tail and sides Tigers were in cages.
Zakir Hasan’s opening century was the highlight of Bangladesh’s innings. Axar Patel four, Kuldeep three and Ashwin Umesh Siraj each took one wicket for India. Kuldeepam was the star of the match with 8 wickets in two innings.
Either way, India kept their last hopes alive after securing a crucial spot in the World Test Championship. The final test of the series will start on the 22nd.
