NEW DELHI: India came back in heroic fashion on Friday to overcame a batting collapse and deny Bangladesh a historic win as Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin forged a decisive partnership to help the visitors to a three-wicket win in the second Test on Day 4 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
India swept the two-match series 2-0.
Chasing 145 for victory on a turning track, India reached the target in the first session on the penultimate day, thanks to an unbeaten and fighting 71-run partnership between Ashwin and Iyer from a precarious 74 for 7.
India started the day at 45/4, but lost Jaydev Unadkat (13), Rishabh Pant (9), and Axar Patel (34) in quick succession early in the session.
But Ashwin and Iyer showed great intent and counter-punched Bangladesh’s spin attack with their stubborn batting to take India over the line.
Ashwin, who remained unbeaten on 42, whipped Mehidy Hasan Miraz towards mid-on for a boundary to take India home, while Iyer made an undefeated 29.
For Bangladesh, Mehidy was the pick of the bowlers with a five-wicket haul (5/63)
