Hyderabad, India: India completed a 208-run victory over Bangladesh in an historic one-off Test match in Hyderabad Monday after their spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja shared eight second innings wickets.
Having been set an unlikely 459 to win their first ever Test match on India soil, Bangladesh were all out for 250 just before tea on the final day in their second innings, despite a fighting half-century from Mahmudullah.
Ashwin, who took the last wicket of Taskin Ahmed, finished with figures of 4-73 while Jadeja took 4-78.
