BENGALURU: Had this historic Test fit been a bout of heavyweight boxing, Afghanistan's players would have been peeling themselves off the canvas and heading to the infirmary. They will elevate the scars of this rout, but one hopes - in the pursuits of cricket's well-being - now not for lengthy.
Only Test: Scorecard
All it took for India to wrap up another Test victory at home was 66.3 overs and 290 minutes after lunch on the second one day. India's innings and 262-run win margin will probably be remembered as will Afghanistan's abject capitulation. It was most effective the fourth example when a Test staff has been dismissed twice in a day - in Afghanistan's case over not up to two periods.

The visiting staff, who came dressed of their festive best possible on the instance of Eid-al-Fitr earlier than slipping into white flannels, did not have a lot to celebrate after all.
Replying to India's first innings tally of 474 on the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Afghanistan mustered 109 of their first essay. Their 2d essay, after being requested to follow-on, was similar - 103 runs. However, one must keep in mind that South Africa made most effective 84 in the first innings in their first Test towards England way back in 1889.

It wasn't the one sure for Afghanistan. They did eject a powerful Indian batting line-up in about four periods they usually did show glimpses - albeit too fleeting - of what it takes to see off time in a Test fit when Asghar Stanikzai and Hashmatullah Shahidi placed on 37 for the 5th wicket in the second one innings. Stanikzai undid the entire hard paintings with an incredibly extravagant strive of a hoist. In time, with a bit of luck, the skipper will be told.
The virtue of patience and preparedness to wear out opposition bowlers is likely one of the hardest classes Afghanistan must imbibe from this game. There was little in terms of footwork and even much less in intent of rotating the strike too. But then, they're a staff that is just one Test fit - nay just two days - old.
India's bowlers have been too quick and skillful for this green aspect. Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav returned fit hauls four each, whilst spin combo of R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja finished with five and six wickets respectively.
The Afghans started to unravel in the fourth over in their first innings when a right away hit from Pandya at level despatched back sauntering opener Mohammad Shahzad. Thus, started the guests parade back to the pavilion with most effective Mohammad Nabi placing up a fighting 24 (44b, 4x4).
In the second one essay, the one two players who returned respectable numbers have been Sahidi (36 n.o, 88b, 4x6) and Stanikzai (25, 58, 4x4, 1x6).
Ashwin completed the formalities in the prolonged hour, cleaning up Wafadar's center stump.
Earlier, starting at an in a single day ranking of 347/6, India added 127 runs in 26.5 overs, losing four wickets in the procedure. Overnight batsman Ashwin (18, 39b, 1x4) did not prolong his stay on the crease for lengthy. Wicketkeeper Ahmad Zazai pouched a Yamin Ahmadzai supply edged through Ashwin.
The pacer may have accounted for Ravindra Jadeja in the next ball, but first Zazai and then skipper Stanikzai, in the beginning slip, failed to carry directly to a catch, which ensured a 67-run eight-wicket partnership between Hardik Pandya and Jadeja. In the meanwhile, Pandya helped himself to a half-century (71, 94b, 10x4).
During his 130 minutes stay on the creases, Pandya wasn't his flamboyant self. Instead, he performed a measured and mature innings. He patiently waited for the free balls to be put away. Hardik's vigil ended when he talented a catch to Zazai off Wafadar.
Before India wrapped up the innings, the final man in -Umesh Yadav- who was cheered on vivaciously through the crowd for his Royal Challengers Bangalore connection-entertained with a 21-ball 26 which incorporated two maximums and an equal choice of fours.
Umesh's blitz set the tone for the domination of the Indian bowlers for the rest of the day.
