Litton now lifts the series trophy for Bangladesh winning 2-1. His team-mates join in the fun, as they achieve the result without regular captain Tamim Iqbal, and without Taskin Ahmed in the first two ODIs. A closely-fought series comes to an end after a dramatic show by Kishan, as I direct you to Deiva's report. Join us for the Tests in four days' time, as Ranjith, Deiva, and me, Himanshu, bid you goodbye until then!
Here comes Litton Das, the series-winning captain: "Ishan and Virat batted really well. Hats off to Ishan. We tried our best, but we didn't find any solution. If the score would have been 330-340, it would have been a different ball game. They are a good side, and we played good cricket for two games."
Mehidy Hasan is the Player of the Series for 141 runs and four wickets: "This is the first time I'm getting Man of the Series [award] in ODIs. It's [beating India] a start for our team. We have a World Cup in front, and I hope we can get better. We have lots of senior guys talking to us. I just keep thinking positively."
You don't need to be an expert to predict Ishan Kishan is the Player of the Match: "It was a perfect wicket and situation to bat on. I was just looking to watch the ball properly, and go with the flow. At this level, whenever you get the chance, you need to make the most out of it. I was just picking the ball and the bowlers, and things were going my way! Our trainer and physio are taking care of everyone."
KL Rahul speaks first: "Brilliant to see how Virat and Ishan batted. The way Kishan started, he was looking aggressive from ball one. He got an opportunity, and grabbed it with both hands. Getting a double hundred in ODIs isn't done often. Batters were really brave, and we decided to do the same with the ball. There wasn't much help [from the pitch]. There are a few injury concerns, but that gives opportunity to guys. We'll try and carry this confidence and momentum into the Tests."
Hang around for the presentations, as we hear from the captains and the Player of the Match.
Kush: "Any guesses on who the player of the match would be..?? :P" --- The groundsman for helping prepare a pitch for Kishan to smash the small matter of 210?
Sai Bandhav: "Ishan defeated Bangladesh by 28 runs."
7.07pm Consolation win for India, and how. They crush Bangladesh by 227 runs, their third-highest victory margin by runs in ODIs. Chasing 410 was never going to be easy, and the hosts never really had any momentum either. Kishan bashed 210, Kohli cracked 113 after being dropped on 1, and the series ends 2-1.

Afeef: "Let Ishan bowl an over" --- Looks like that's exactly what will work for India to get the final wicket
