After some play on the first day of the five-day affair, both the teams had to sit out as continuous rain did not allow any play on the second and the third day at the Green Park stadium. The fourth day saw India come out on the field and dominate the proceedings, continuing the terrific efforts on the final day to pocked the match and the series.
All-round show by India

Yashasvi Jaiswal was named as the Player of the Match for double half-centuries while Ravichandran Ashwin was declared Man of the Series for picking a total of 11 wickets in both the games.

Great performance by team India as they completed the series win 2-0. All our bowlers, @ashwinravi99, @imjadeja, @Jaspritbumrah93 have put on an incredible show in restricting the Bangladesh batters. The intent and aggression of our batters from the word go defined the test… pic.twitter.com/V0mJIXtkYo

Only 35 overs were bowled across the first 3 days. To get a win in the next 2 days Ind had to dismiss Ban, declare with a lead, dismiss Ban again, then chase the target. They did it with half a day to spare! Stand up & applaud the greatness 👏🏻👏🏻 #INDvBAN pic.twitter.com/x9SCceu9cy
