India Beat Bangladesh By 208 Runs In One-off Test  

Hyderabad: India bowled Bangladesh out for 250 in their second innings to clinch the one-off cricket Test by 208 runs here on Monday.

Resuming the day at 103-3, Bangladesh lost two wickets in the first session to be at 202-5. Then till the tea session, they lost the rest of the five wickets to lose the Test.

For India, spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin picked up four wickets a piece.

India Test cricket captain Virat Kohli heaped praise on his bowlers for pulling off a massive 208-run win against Bangladesh on a flat wicket which had little for them on offer.

"Credit to our bowlers, they were able to get result on this kind of a track. Considering that the wicket was very good to bat on, it took a bit of patience for us to get wickets during Bangladesh first innings," Kohli, said.

The captain, who was adjudged Man-of-the-Match for his brilliant knock of 204 in the first innings, said it's great to see pacers doing so well as a unit which would only augur well for the team when they are on the road.

"It's always a good thing to have good fast bowlers in the team. When we start going away from home, it's going to help us big time. Sides will know that these are not easy runs for the taking because of the way our fast bowlers are bowling. It gives us more strength as a team," Kohli said.

Kohli hailed his bowlers as the real match winners in the five-day format. "In true sense they are our match winners and that's what in the team we keep telling them. You can score as many runs as you want but if you don't pick wickets you don't win a test match," Kohli added.
