Play resumed on day four, to the dismay of the Tigers coach, who praised the Indian team’s aggressive strategy for securing a result in the rain-affected game.
“We are suffering greatly from the loss in terms of performance. India’s strategy was genuinely unprecedented. Kudos to Rohit and the Indian team for devising and succeeding with that strategy. We took too long to respond (to India’s approach).
In the fourth-shortest Test match in history, Bangladesh lost by seven wickets due to a batting collapse on the last day of play, which lasted just 173.2 overs. Bangladesh could only last one session at-bat, falling short of their goal of batting into the fifth day to salvage a draw.
The ongoing Indian attack claimed the lives of captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shadman Islam, Shakib Al Hasan, and Litton Das in less than twenty-one minutes.
Hathurusingha declared, “This series’ batting was disappointing.” “In the previous series, a few players performed well. We haven’t been playing to our full ability in the last few series. The caliber of the opposition was one factor in the batting.
Hathurusingha knew his squad would have a far more challenging task in India, but Bangladesh came into the series fresh off a historic trip to Pakistan, where they won both games to secure a thumping of the hosts. If I incorporate our emotions into our performance, it won’t work out well,” he declared.
We shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves after this outcome because we weren’t ecstatic about our victory in Pakistan. We knew our strengths in winning in Pakistan and our weaknesses in competing against these people here.
The head coach stated they needed to develop their skill set to compete with the more experienced teams, acknowledging that they were outplayed during the series.
“This entirely outplayed this series. We must get better because I could see the disparity in ability levels. Nevertheless, we fell short of our potential. We find it disappointing. If we receive the proper assistance, there is a purpose in placing pressure on each player and their every choice in the center.
