India vs Bangladesh Only Test Day 5 Stats: India extend unbeaten run; Kohli overtakes Dhoni for most series wins
India defeated Bangladesh by 208 runs in the one-off Test at Hyderabad to win the game and the series 1-0. Led by an inspired bowling performance on a pitch that offered very little, the Virat Kohli-led side showed great pluck with the ball, sticking to their game plan right throughout and eventually, their persistence paid off as the visiting batsmen wilted under pressure.
Here are the stats from the day:
