Yashasvi Jaiswal got another half-century, helping India to a 2-0 series sweep over Bangladesh, claiming a seven-wicket win in what had looked like it would be an unlikely victory in a rain-affected second test. (Highlights | Scorecard | More Cricket News)
After setting a new first-in🐬nings ✤run-rate record on day four, having lost two days to rain, India followed it up with another strong performance on Tuesday.
Bangladesh started the day on 26-2, but🌄 with India's bowlers in fine form, they struggleℱd to really get going, even with Shadman Islam bringing up a half-century.
Ravindra Jadeja (3-34) and Jasprit Bumrah (3-17) stunted any mome꧅ntum as Bangladesh suffered a collapse of 7 for 55 and were bowled out for 146.
That left India with a 🐲target of 95, which they cruised to in just over an hour, despite losing three wickets in the chase.
Jaiswal set them on their way with a 45-ball 51, but it was Rishabh Pant (4) who hit the win𝐆ning runs to get Indi💎a over the line.
Data Debrief: Clean sweep
While day five did𒁃 not quite hit the record-breaking heights of day four for India, it was still a success as they earned an 18th consecutive Test seri🐲es win at home.
The 312 balls India batted for in this Test is just the second-fewest they have faced to wi𒊎n a Test match, behind the 281 against South Afric♏a in Cape Town earlier this year.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who finished the series with 114 runs and 11 wickets and was name🔯d Player of the Series, has now received the award 11 times in men's Tests, the joint-most by anyone in the format alongside Muttiah Muralitharan.
Ashwin has won more Player of the Se♋ries awards than Player of the M🤪atch awards (10) in Tests.
