LIVE Commentary: India vs Bangladesh
Start of Day 4: Bangladesh’s uphill battle
On Day 4, all eyes are on Bangladesh’s seasoned batter Mushfiqur Rahim, who resumes on 42*. The formidable Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who is unbeaten on 16*, is standing next to him. They face an enormous task: they need to avoid the lethal onslaught of Indian bowlers and try to cut the 357-run lead. On a Day 4 surface that is starting to break apart, India’s spinners, led by Ravichandran Ashwin, will be licking their lips though.
Early breakthrough for India!
And Ashwin gets the first hit! The off-spinner gets the crucial breakthrough in a matter of overs. With a lovely delivery that dips and spins sharply, he entices Mehidy Hasan into a loose shot. At first slip, the edge flies right to Ajinkya Rahane, who makes a superb catch! Right now, Bangladesh is 170 for 5. India smells blood, and Ashwin is enraged.
Shakib Al Hasan walks in
Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh, is now on. Shakib is capable of masterminding an unlikely comeback if anyone. Although he is renowned for playing in an offensive manner, this presents a distinct obstacle. Bangladesh requires extended periods of focus in addition to runs. Ashwin and India’s spin twin, Ravindra Jadeja, are both receiving sharp turn and bounce on this wearing surface, so Shakib takes his time and carefully navigates around them.
Mushfiqur fights on
Meanwhile, Mushfiqur Rahim carries on with his work in silence. In this Test, he has been Bangladesh’s best batsman, displaying superb technique and composure. With a fast single, he hits fifty and raises his bat to salute the few but vociferous Bangladeshi supporters. If the team is to have any hope of winning, he must continue to bat for a considerable amount of time.
Shami strikes! Shakib departs!
Bangladesh appeared to be settling into a cooperative relationship when India’s Mohammed Shami displays a flash of genius. He cracks the stumps with a blistering delivery that nips back in quickly, eluding Shakib Al Hasan’s defenders. What a significant blow! Bangladesh is in disarray at 196 for 6, and Shakib has been gone for 19.
Bangladesh collapses: Mushfiqur’s lone resistance
With two quick wickets, Ravindra Jadeja takes out Mushfiqur Rahim for 61 after a stunning spinning delivery that gets the edge and flies to Virat Kohli at slip, continuing the collapse. The removal of Mushfiqur appears to be the last straw for Bangladesh. As India’s spin attack gathers steam against the tail-enders, Jadeja swiftly ends the match by eliminating Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam.
Bangladesh’s second innings ends with them all out for 221 runs, considerably short of the mark by 223 runs. India wins the Test match with a commanding 223-run lead, securing a comfortable victory.
India’s bowlers dominate
With an outstanding final score of 4 for 56, Ravichandran Ashwin is followed by Ravindra Jadeja with 3 for 62. Bangladesh’s resistance was broken largely thanks to the two wickets that Mohammed Shami contributed, one of which was the critical removal of Shakib. On a field that was losing quality, Ashwin’s experience and deft variations proved to be too much for Bangladesh’s batters. As the match went on, India’s spinners proved to be indispensable, and they performed as expected.
India’s batters laid the foundation
The batsmen for India are additionally deserving of a lot of praise. India scored 376 runs in their initial innings, powered bat hundreds from Cheteshwar Pujara (113) and Shubman Gill’s (132). Both of these provided India with a firm foundation by anchoring the Indian innings. With Rohit Sharma scoring a blistering 89 and Ravindra Jadeja hitting a blistering 56*, India declared at 287 for 4 in the second innings, leaving Bangladesh with an almost unachievable score of 445.
Bangladesh’s brief moments of hope
Mushfiqur Rahim, who scored 61 in the second innings and battled heroically to keep the innings together, was Bangladesh’s top player. Although Liton Das made a strong 47 in the opening session, their whole batting effort fell well short of what was needed to seriously contend with India. Bangladesh’s demise was primarily caused by their incapacity to handle India’s spinners on a turning track.
India’s dominance continues
Another example of India’s supremacy in Test cricket, particularly at home or in environments where their spinners can take advantage of the pitch, is this match victory. With this victory, India has cemented their status as one of the most formidable Test teams globally, and Bangladesh will now have to revisit their strategy and up their batting against excellent spin.
Final result: India wins by 223 runs
That concludes the Test match! Bangladesh was beaten by India by 223 runs. The primary man on the ball was Ravichandran Ash Win, but Shubman Gill’s and Cheteshwar Pujara’s hundreds set the stage for that comprehensive triumph. Watch this space for further cricket action in a few days!
