Overnight batter Shadman Islam was the highest scorer for Bangladesh in the second innings, scoring 50 runs. The lunch session was extended by nearly an hour to complete Bangladesh's innings. Bangladesh were bundled out for 233 in their first innings before India scored a quick-fire 285/9 and declared their innings on Monday in a match in which two days were completely lost due to a wet outfield.

In the end, Team India manage to end the Test series with style, and a 2-0 sweep will aid them big-time as the road leads to the WTC Final in Lord's.
