For Bangladesh, Mushfiqur Rahim with 43 was the top-scorer. Skipper Mominul Haque (37) got in but could not convert his start into something big. Bangladesh was bowled out for 250 runs.

Earlier in the day, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first. The India pace trio of Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami removed the top-order as they never allowed any batsman to get in. Ashwin picked up a couple of wickets as well to become the third spinner after Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh to pick 250 wickets on Indian soil. He achieved the feat during the second session of the first Test against Bangladesh at the Holkar Cricket Stadium as he cleaned up skipper Mominul Haque for 37.

At the time of filing the copy, India was 28 for one. The hosts lost Rohit Sharma for six runs.
