India batted less than 90 overs( a whole day's play) in one innings. Bangladesh could bat barely 70 overs in two innings. India would not have got second new ball even after bowling out Bangladesh twice! Unbelievable domination by @imVkohli and his mates! #INDvBAN #PinkBall pic.twitter.com/3uu9X9nHwF
