Kolkata: The 25,000 who turned up on the Eden terraces on Sunday would surely have hoped for resistance to the imminent Indian victory in the historic pink-ball Test here. It was not to be, as beleaguered Bangladesh surrendered and slumped to another embarrassing defeat. Overnight 152 for six and needing another 89 to have the hosts bat again, Bangladesh managed just 43 in the 8.4 overs they lasted on Day Three, handing the hosts victory by an innings and 46 runs. This, Virat Kohli & Co ended their Test cricket year with four out of four series wins. In fact, they did not lose a Test in the year and their last loss was against Australia in the Perth Test held from December 14 to 18 last year.

India had set things up on Saturday by scoring 347 for 9 declared in reply to a pathetic 106 by the visitors in the first innings. Bangladesh 'improved' to 195 for 9 in the second, the injured Mahmudullah deciding not to resume his innings, but it still fell way short. Bangladesh began Day Three on the wrong note. New man Ebadot Hossain, who survived the remaining three deliveries of Umesh in typical tailender style, left in the pacer's next over, fending off a rising delivery to be caught in the slips.
