India beat Bangladesh by 280 runs in the first Test of the two-match series on Sunday (Sep 22). Chasing a daunting 515, Bangladesh were bowled out for 234 shortly before lunch on day 4 with Ravi Ashwin taking his 37th career five-for. Ashwin, who had scored a century in the first innings, finished with the figures of 6/88.
Bangladesh resumed day 4 from the overnight score of 158/4 with skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan on the crease.
It was Ashwin who broke the 48-run partnership to dismiss Shakib for 25. The visitors gave in soon after that with Ravindra Jadeja removing Litton Das in quick succession.
Ashwin then dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz to complete his five-for before Jadeja removed Shanto (82) to dash any remaining resistance from Bangladesh. The spinner then took one each of the rest of the two wickets to wrap up the Bangladesh innings.
Bangladesh had started the chase in a defiant manner, adding 62 runs for the first wicket - the most ever for them against India.
