Ashwin Dominates as India Crush Bangladesh by 280 Runs: Sports News on LatestLY

In a stunning display of spin bowling mastery, Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin scalped six wickets in the second innings to help India secure a massive 280-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Test match at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.

Ashwin, who finished with figures of 6/31 in the second innings, bamboozled the Bangladeshi batsmen with his guile and accuracy. His exceptional performance not only earned him the Man of the Match award but also helped India take a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series.

Apart from Ashwin’s heroics, India’s batting unit put up a dominant display in both innings, with Mayank Agarwal scoring a brilliant double century in the first innings and Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane chipping in with crucial contributions.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, struggled to cope with the Indian bowlers on a turning track, with only Mushfiqur Rahim showing some resistance with a gritty half-century in the second innings.

The victory marks India’s fourth consecutive win in the ICC World Test Championship and further cements their position at the top of the points table.

With the second Test match set to be played in Kolkata, all eyes will be on whether Bangladesh can bounce back and level the series or if India will continue their dominance on home soil.
