But as the saying goes, all's well that ends well. A win for India following an exciting two-and-a-half-day's of play meant the dejection and anger gave way to jubilation and ecstasy.
The complexion of the match changed on the fourth day when the hosts played aggressively to force a result. Their bowlers didn't lag behind as they wrapped up Bangladesh's second innings quickly on Tuesday to give the batters enough time to chase down a small target of 95. It was a moment to cherish for around 20,000 fans who turned up on the last day to witness their team converting a dull draw into a memorable win.
