KL Rahul (Indian Captain): "Yeah absolutely, that is what was expected from us as a team. Virat and Ishan set up the match for us and the bowlers did the job for us. The scores don't suggest the wicket was tacky, getting a double hundred in 50 overs cricket is not done often. The experience of Virat at the other end guided him and it was a pleasure to watch him bat. When you have 400 plus on the board, you know that the batters will go after you and there will be chances for picking up wickets. We played bravely with that ball and the bat and sealed the deal. Every team will try and get better, this was our first series after the T20 World Cup, yes there were few injury concerns but we always try and get better with time. Unfortunately, the first two games did not go our way, we gave our best but things did not turn as they should have been. We will carry the momentum into the Test series, hopefully, we carry the confidence into it."
Tiger of the Match: Shakib Al Hasan.
Most Valuable Player of the Match: Virat Kohli
Player of the Match: Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan (Player of the Match): "I think it was a perfect wicket and situation to bat for me. I was looking forward to it and going well with the flow. When you have so many senior players in the field, and coach, when you get to the opportunity you should not think about the few and just get going. There was a lot of support staff also here and got some net sessions.
No, I was not thinking about it [about records]. The wicket was good and I was just thinking about the ball coming at me and playing my shots. Taskin was bowling well and getting some swing in the initial period. I knew that the wicket would play well later. I was taking my time and trying to smack the loose balls. There are a lot of support-staffs for our fitness, and we are trying to do our best on both the levels."

Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Player of the Series): "I am happy because this is the first time I have won the man of the series award in an ODI series so its a great moment for me. India is a very good side in any format. We are playing very well in the last 2 years especially in ODIs and we do have many experienced players in our team. We have a World Cup coming up and hopefully we can do better in the coming year.
The seniors are supporting us. They give us confidence and teach how we can get better in different situations and conditions."

Litton Das (Bangladesh Captain): "Definitely, the way Ishan and Virat batted, the partnership cost us this game. They batted really well. Hats off to the way Ishan batted. We tried our best but our bowlers didn't find any solution.
If the score allows me to bat at 330 or 360, that's a different game, 400+ is a different ball game altogether. Yeah, definitely, they are a good side. We played good cricket. We played well in the last two games. But today wasn't really our day."
