India leads the series 1-0 after a commanding 280-run victory in the first Test in Chennai.
Bangladesh, buoyed by a 2-0 win in Pakistan, initially troubled India by reducing them to 144 for 6 in their first innings. However, India showcased their home dominance, with three players scoring centuries and two making half-centuries, despite Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli contributing only 34 runs between them. India’s bowlers were equally effective, with seamers taking eight wickets in the first innings and spinners claiming nine in the second.
As the teams head to Kanpur for the second Test, Bangladesh faces another significant challenge. The pitch conditions remain uncertain, with ground staff preparing two different surfaces, leaving the choice unclear just before the match.
