IND vs BAN: India's home Test assignment against Bangladesh is just a couple of days away from getting underway, with the Test opener slated to be held on September 19 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

Meanwhile, India have enjoyed immense success in Test cricket against Bangladesh as they won 11 out of 13 matches, with the remaining two ending in draws. This utter dominance is evident from the fact that the Tigers are yet to record a victory over India in the longest format.

Team India will be looking forward to extending their dominance against Bangladesh in the upcoming Test series. Let's take a look at India's largest wins over Bangladesh by runs, wickets and innings.
