Team India survived a massive scare in the 2nd Test against Bangladesh at Mirpur but scraped past the finish line with Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin playing a sublime 71-run unbeaten partnership. Ashwin narrowly missed out on his fifty but he won't mind that since he helped rescue India from the jaws of defeat.
The KL Rahul-led unit began Day 4 at 45/4 having lost four wickets earlier on Day 3, it was not going to be an easy day for either side and it was Bangladesh who had the best of Indian players. They had India reeling at 74/7 but then Ashwin and Iyer stitched together their game-changing partnership.
Shakib Al Hasan's men deserve credit for putting India in a spot of bother and the visitors know that will have to raise their game considerably in their next assignment in the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in 2023 at home.
