The hosts took an emphatic 1-0 lead in the two-match series as they look to extend their advantage at the top of the World Test Championship rankings. The spinner, who took three wickets on day three, then dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz for eight to bag his 37th five-wicket haul, equalling the late Shane Warne. The feat added to Ashwin's heroics after his 113 guided the hosts to 376 in the first innings.
Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja removed Litton Das for one after the wicketkeeper-batsman edged the ball to Rohit at first slip.- 'Little bit emotional' -Spin twins Ashwin and Jadeja had played a key batting role in the first innings when their 199-run seventh-wicket stand lifted India from a precarious 144-6 to a challenging total on the first day.
"I just enjoyed batting and got a little bit emotional," Pant said of his celebration after his sixth Test ton. The Test was Virat Kohli's first since the birth of his second child made him miss India's 4-1 victory over England at home this year. Kohli scored just six and 17.
