India asserted their dominance over Bangladesh once again, securing a comprehensive 280-run victory in the first Test of the two-match series in Chennai on Sunday (September 22).

This win marks the beginning of the Gautam Gambhir era as India's head coach in Tests, and it has started on a strong note. India now leads the series 1-0, building momentum as they continue to establish themselves as the top team in the WTC 2023-25 rankings.

The victory was a reflection of both grit and resilience, especially after the initial setbacks India faced. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field, taking advantage of a seam-friendly deck that troubled India's top order.

At 144/6, the hosts were in a precarious position. It was at this juncture that Ravichandran Ashwin, playing on his home ground, came to the rescue. Ashwin's positive approach paid off as he notched his sixth Test century.

His partnership with Ravindra Jadeja, who scored a solid 86, turned the game around for India. Together, they added a crucial 199-run stand, propelling India's first-innings total to 376.

In response, Bangladesh struggled to match India's intensity. Jasprit Bumrah spearheaded the Indian bowling attack, taking four wickets as Bangladesh were bowled out for a mere 149.

Despite a large lead, India chose not to enforce the follow-on, opting instead to build an even larger target for their opponents. Centuries from Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill allowed India to set Bangladesh an imposing target of 515 runs.

Bangladesh's second innings began with some promise, as their openers forged a half-century stand. However, India's bowlers, led by Ashwin and Jadeja, quickly turned the tide.

While Bangladesh's captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, fought valiantly with a top score of 82, the team ultimately crumbled under the pressure. Ashwin, who had already made a significant impact with his bat, finished the match with a six-wicket haul.

Jadeja supported him well, claiming three wickets as Bangladesh collapsed from 205/5 to 234 all out. The combined efforts of the team ensured a comfortable win for India, with Ashwin being named the Player of the Match for his all-round performance.

This was India's 12th win over Bangladesh in Men's Tests. Below is a summary of India's past victories over Bangladesh in men's Test matches after IND vs BAN 1st Test:
