<p>Kanpur: Ravichandran Ashwin drew first blood, Ravindra Jadeja ripped the heart out while Jasprit Bumrah put the final nail in Bangladesh's coffin as India routed the visitors by seven wickets in the second Test to complete a record-extending 18th series win at home here on Tuesday.</p><p>It was one of the most exhilarating performances by the Indian team despite losing more than 200 overs of play with two days of complete wash-out.
