Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma displayed a clinical bowling performance as India defeated Bangladesh by an innings and 46 runs on Sunday on the third day of the day-night Test at the Eden Gardens. With this win, India have won the two-match series with a 2-0 score and have consolidated their position at the top of World Test Championship (WTC) standings with 360 points from six matches. This was India’s seventh consecutive Test series win and 12th home series win. Resuming day three at 152/6, Bangladesh lost their seventh wicket almost immediately as Umesh Yadav dismissed Ebadot Hossain (0) on a short-ball and had him caught at the hands of skipper Virat Kohli at third slip. Al-Amin Hossain next came out to bat and he along with Mushfiqur Rahim put up a brief 32-run stand, but their vigil at the crease was finally ended by Umesh Yadav as he sent back the batsman Mushfiqur (74) back to the pavilion in the 40th over, reducing 184/8. The ninth wicket was taken by Umesh Yadav and it proved to be the final scalp as Mahmudullah did not come out to bat after retiring hurt on day two of the match due to a hamstring injury. Bangladesh were bundled out for 193 in the final innings. Umesh picked up five wickets whereas Ishant scalped four wickets. As usual, Twitterati were all praise for Virat Kohli and Co, who are unbeaten in the latest ICC World Test Championship, with seven wins out of seven. King Kohli never stops reaching new heights

v SA, Johannesburg, 2018
v Ban, Kolkata, 2019
India's current pace attack is at the very best in their history. #IndvBan
We were alive to watch a Home Test in which two Indian spinners who have 573 wickets among them bowl just 7 overs in a completed Test. #PaceisPace #IndvBan

Will any team beat India in the near future in Tests?
This was India’s 7th consecutive Test victory - their longest streak ever. Their previous longest was six consecutive victories, back in 2013.#INDvBAN

Winning by spin is fun but winning by pace is more fun!#IndianCricket

Well, time flies!
Four years ago, against South Africa, India's spinners took 61 wickets to 9 for the quicks. In this series, spin got but 5 (none in this test) vs 33 to pace. The times, they are a changin'!

The first of many day night Tests in India?
Privileged to be a part of the #PinkBallTest, was a great experience to play the game in front of a packed Eden Gardens crowd.
