Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill cleansed months of hurt, anxiety, and disappointments of varying nature with emotional hundreds to place India in a prime position.
Gill (119 not out) and Pant (109) led the hosts' run glut with an alliance of 167 for the fourth wicket that helped India, overnight 81/3, declare their second innings at 287 for 4 for an overall lead of 514.
Bangladesh showed some spunk in their second innings of the IND vs BAN 1st Test to reach 158 for four when play was called off at 4.25 pm due to bad light. They still need a whopping 357 runs for the result to be in their favour.
