INDIA COMPLETE SERIES SWEEP

Rout Bangladesh by seven wickets in the second Test

India routed Bangladesh by seven wickets in the second Test to complete a record-extending 18th series win at home here on Tuesday.

It was one of the most exhilarating performances by the Indian team despite losing more than 200 overs of play with two days of complete washout. The outright victory consolidated India's pole position in the ICC World Test Championship Table (WTC) with 74.24 percentage points.

Bangladesh needed a resolute fightback on the final day to salvage a draw but they collapsed to 146 after resuming the day 26 for two. Bumrah (3/17 in 10 overs), Ravichandran Ashwin (3/50 in 15 overs) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/34 in 10 overs) shared bulk of the spoils.

India scored the required 95 runs in 17.2 overs with 'Player Of The Match' Yashasvi Jaiswal (51) scoring his second fifty of the match.
