This also provides the eighth occasion of an Indian cricketer performing such a feat and with it, India now own the record for most such occasions. England have performed such a feat on seven occasions.

Regarding Ashwin, the India all-rounder has performed such a feat on four occasions. He became the second player in Test cricket to perform the feat on four or more occasions. Ian Botham of England has performed the feat on five times - a record.

Ashwin is hence the only spin bowler to score a century and take five or more wickets in a Test on four occasions.

Ashwin’s 6 for 88 in the second innings of this test provides his 37th five-wicket haul and he now shares the second place for most five-wicket hauls by a bowler in Test cricket with Shane Warne of Australia. Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka occupies the first place with 67 five-wicket hauls.

Bangladesh lost the match by 280 runs to provide the tenth occasion of India winning a Test by 250-plus runs on home soil. All such occasions are tabulated below.
