India wants to achieve victory.
After restricting Bangladesh to 233 runs in the opening session, India went all out on the fourth day of play. It is noteworthy that the rain and soggy outfield on Days 2 and 3 cost both teams a substantial amount of time. But on the fourth day, India tried to make it up to them by going all out.
When the team came to bat in the opening inning, they decided to go for it hard. Yashasvi Jaiswal, the opener, scored a rapid seventy-two, while Rohit Sharma added twenty-three more runs. Along with KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, who added 47 and 68 runs, respectively, Shubman Gill also made 39 runs.
