14:46 IST: Virat Kohli and co. will rest for 10 days or so and will take on Australia, which is expected to be a very very competitive series. India play the first match on February 23 in Pune
14:45 IST: Â Virat Kohli after the match said: It was a good wicket to bat on, a good toss to win. Putting up a good score in the first innings is always good. the opposition batted well. The bowlers got back into their groove before an important series and all in all a good performance.
The guys stuck it out, worked really hard for the wickets, did not get overexcited which was really good to see. Ishant's spell with the new and the old ball, swinging it either way was heartening to watch. Bhuvi bowled beautifully with the old ball which is positive for us.
Last year was something that I did not quite expect, but it is very important not to get ahead of myself. I am very happy with where my game is at the moment. I thought England was the biggest team of this season but after we won 4-0, there is a lot of pressure on us. Most of the boys have already switched mentally into the next series. I have said it earlier as well, the crowd has always been coming in to watch us play and I hope they enjoyed our brand of cricket.
14:40 IST: Virat Kohli receives the Man of the Match award for his double ton
14:35 IST: Â India's coach Anil Kumble after winning:Â This was a very good surface to bat on, we had to literally bowl 200+ overs to secure 20 wickets, to bowl more than 120 overs in first innings and then come back and bowl another 100 overs, it was brilliant.Â
I expected this track to break up a bit more on the fourth and fifth day, but nothing like that happened, it held on - great effort from our bowlers. When we have a long home season, we need to look after the bowlers. It's a luxury to have 5 bowlers, but the batsmen have been very good right throughout the nine Tests. I was pleased for (Wriddhiman) Saha to get a hundred here. Even Jayant (Yadav) showed good skills with the bat against England.
We were not worried about the surface in any of the Tests over the ongoing home season, just wanted to get the job done. It was a very satisfying win, Bangladesh have come along really well in recent times, it was a good victory in the end. We are now looking forward to face Australia, it will be a tough 4-Test series, really pleased with all the things we are doing, the top-order, middle and lower order- everyone has chipped in, it augurs well for our future.

Â
11:05 IST: What a funny delivery by R Ashwin, the leg-break from him and it is sooo wavered and off target.
10:52 IST: FOUR!!! Mahmudullah cuts it for a boundary and reaches on 45 now. He is close to his 13th half-century
10:46 IST: OUT!!! Rahim goes again for a big one and caught in the deep. What a poor shot by the Bangladesh skipper. Horrendous shot!!! He goes for 23 and Ashwin gets the wicket in his first overÂ
10:45 IST: FOUR!! Mushfiqur steps out and drives it hard
10:43 IST: Finally we see R Ashwin bowling now. Virat has brought him 1 hour and 15 minutes after the start of day's play
10:40 IST: Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur have added 50 runs for the fifth wicket. Bangladesh now 158/4. Rahim 19*, Mahmudullah 41*
10:39 IST:Â FOUR!! He has gone again, over the top now. Uses his feet and lofts it for a boundary
10:37 IST: FOUR!! Mahmudullah hits and hits it hard over mid-off. Sliced a bit but easily cleared the man.Â
10:23 IST: Virat has kept Ashwin away from bowling today. He will be seen shortly for sure
10:21 IST: SIX!! Got plenty of bat on that. Pulls the ball away for a maximum. Ishant Sharma still gets the appreciation from the wicketkeeper and the captain
10:19 IST: FOUR!! Mushfiqur Rahim reverse sweeps it for a boundary
10:12 IST: FOUR!! Top edge and four, Mahmudullah gets it to the vacant backward square area off Ravindra Jadeja
10:06 IST: Will India finish it off before TEA here?Â
09:59 IST: Oooh!!! That was close.  Right in between the two men at short mid-wicket. Mahmudullah got two runs
09:53 IST: FOUR!! That's gone through between the slips. KL Rahul diving to his right at a widish slip got a hand on it but couldn't save a boundary
09:50 IST: India can extend their unbeaten streak to 19 matches in Tests. India have, so far, not suffered a single defeat in 18 consecutive Tests since losing to Sri Lanka at Galle in August 2015.
09:47 IST: India need six wickets to win now and seems it will not take the entire day now. Mushfiqur Rahim, the first innings centurion, is at the crease now.Â
09:40 IST: OUT!! Straight into the rough by Ravindra Jadeja and Shakib Al Hasan couldn't do anything about it. Well caught by Pujara at the forward short leg. India get their first wicket and the left hander goes on 22
09:35 IST: Bangladesh are 106/3. Shakib Al Hasan 22, Mahmudullah 11*. They still need 353 more runs to win
09:30 IST: The players are onto the field now and the action starts. Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah are there at the crease and Ravindra Jadeja to start the proceedings for IndiaÂ
09:28 IST:Â In fourth innings in India, only twice have visiting sides batted more than the minimum of 125 overs Bangladesh were asked to bat. This was also only 2.5 overs fewer than what Bangladesh played in the first innings, only the second time they have lasted 100 overs against India.
Bangladesh face massive task to save the test match.

09:25 IST: Sanjay Manjrekar and Simon Doull with the pitch report : The infection has not spread. There's a rough patch but it's too full like it was on day 3. This pitch has been good for batting. Fortunately for India, Bangladesh's batting has not been that great. They will have to bat well throughout the day.
09:21 IST: So, India need 7 wickets to win the Test and Bangladesh will have to toil really hard top save this Test match. Both the Indian spinners stood out again and showed their class act yesterday. Credit should also be given to the medium pacers who made the work cut out for the spinners and of course the batters played according to the plan.
India are seven wickets away from a win and this is what the pitch looks like ahead of the final day's play. #INDvBAN pic.twitter.com/nKxxvomHa5

09:20 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog
It will be difficult for the visitors who will need to defend seven wickets on a fifth-day pitch which is bound to take turn. With Ashwin and Jadeja as potent weapons, Kohli will try to bowl out Bangladesh as soon as possible and get some confidence ahead of the Australia series.
If India win, it will be their seventh victory over Bangladesh in nine meetings. Two matches have ended as draws while Bangladesh have never managed a victory against India in Tests.
