R Ashwin was the hero with the ball for India as he picked up a six-wicket haul to go with his hundred in the Chennai Test. Ravindra Jadeja complemented him with three wickets himself as India completed a massive 280-run win against Bangladesh.
The visitors, started the fourth morning needing 357 more, and despite the daunting task at hand both Najmul Hasan Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan saw through the first hour without a blemish.Both the left-handers were tested by the angle across from Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah but they managed to survive that challenge. Testing them equally at the other end was Jadeja who managed to fire the ball into the rough outside the left-handers offstump and kept the batters on their toes. The uneven turn and bounce was also a challenge for 'keeper Rishabh Pant who missed a stumping chance off Shakib.
The duo employed the sweep to try and put Jadeja off, earning them some welcome boundaries in a 48-run stand. However, a wicket seemed around the corner and it came when R Ashwin came into the attack, striking in his first over. Shakib got an inside edge that was snapped up at short leg and opening up the sluice gates. The spin twins, bowling in tandem now, challenged both edges and were all over the batting line-up. Litton Das was beaten a couple of times before he nicked Jadeja to slip. Mehidy Hasan attempted a big hit and holed out to long on, giving Ashwin his 37th Test five-fer putting him on par with Shane Warne in the all-time list. He added one more when Taskin Ahmed top-edged a slog as the end came swiftly around.
Jadeja wrapped things up as he went past Hasan Mahmud's wild slog to get to 299 Test wickets as well as giving India a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series.
Brief scores: India 376 (R Ashwin 113, Ravindra Jadeja 86, Yashasvi Jaiswal 56; Hasan Mahmud 5-83) & 287/4 decl (Shubman Gill 119*, Rishabh Pant 109) beat Bangladesh 149 (Jasprit Bumrah 4-50) & 234 all out (Najmul Hossain Shanto 82; R Ashwin 6-88) by 280 runs
