IND vs BAN 2024: Team India will lock horns with Bangladesh in the two-match Test series at home, with the first Test slated to be held on September 19 in Chennai. The second and final Test will kick off on September 27 in Uttar Pradesh.

We can expect senior batters like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to dictate the terms as far as the batting unit is concerned. While Virat Kohli has a good record against the Bangla Tigers in Tests, Rohit Sharma hasn't made an impact yet. The Indian captain scored 33 runs in 3 appearances against Bangladesh in Tests and will look to add more runs to his tally in the upcoming Test series.

Cut to the chase, scoring a Test century is no small feat. Unlike the shorter formats, where quick runs can come from aggressive stroke play, the ability to spend hours at the crease, carefully navigating each delivery is what separates great Test batsmen from the rest. When it comes to facing Bangladesh, as many as five Indian players have scored multiple Test centuries.

Sachin Tendulkar vs Bangladesh

Sachin Tendulkar, who is the leading run-getter in international cricket (Tests and ODIs) has always been a standout performer in Test cricket. He was particularly dominant against Bangladesh, amassing 820 runs in just 7 Tests at a staggering average of 136.66.

The Master Blaster has scored five centuries, the most by any Indian against Bangladesh. He registered a top score of an unbeaten 248 in Dhaka in 2004, which happens to be his highest in Test cricket. His knock came in a winning cause as India won by an innings and 140 runs.

Rahul Dravid Batting Stats Against Bangladesh

Rahul Dravid, often referred to as "The Wall of Indian Cricket" was a cornerstone of India's Test batting lineup during the playing days of his cricketing career. He gave the Bangladeshi bowlers a run for their money by grinding down the bowling attack with ease.

Overall, he garnered 560 runs in 7 Tests against them at an impressive average of 70. This tally includes 3 centuries, with the highest score being 160 in Chattogram in 2005, which came in a winning cause.

Virat Kohli Centuries vs Bangladesh

Virat Kohli, who is considered as one of the modern greats of the game, has also made a terrific mark against Bangladesh in the Test arena. In six Tests, the veteran cricketer scored 437 runs at an average of 54.62, including two centuries. He notched up a top score of 204 against Bangladesh in the only Test match in Hyderabad in 2017, in which India won the game by an innings and 208 runs.

Gautam Gambhir slammed 2 Test tons vs Bangladesh

Gautam Gambhir is known for his ability to anchor the innings at the top order for India during the heydays of his cricketing career. He was another Indian batsman who thrived against Bangladesh in Tests. In just 4 Tests against them, he scored 381 runs at an average of 76.20, including 2 centuries, registering a top score of 139 against the Tigers in Chattogram in 2004, in which India won the game by an innings and 83 runs.

Murali Vijay's Performance Against Bangladesh

Murali Vijay was often regarded as one of India's most technically sound openers. The Tamil Nadu-born also found success against Bangladesh in Tests. In 3 Tests, he accumulated 295 runs at an average of 73.75, including two centuries. He registered a top score of 150 in the solitary Test against Bangladesh in Fatullah in 2015 and the game ended in a draw.
