India vs Bangladesh Highlights 1st Test, Day 1: India return to Test cricket with a series at home against a buoyant Bangladesh side, who are riding high on their historic series win in Pakistan just before this. India have come up with a full-strength squad for the first Test, with all of their regular red-ball stars featuring in it.

India vs Bangladesh Highlights 1st Test, Day 1: From 144/6 to 339/6 at Stumps! It's been a remarkable story for India on Day 1 of the opening Test. The morning session was a forgettable one for India, who were put to bat first under the overcast Chennai sky, which Dinesh Karthik reckoned as "London weather," and amid a seam bowling friendly surface....Read More
Hasan Mahmud castled down the Indian top-order within the opening hour, before Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal stitched a 50-run stand. But the fast bowler returned to nip out the wicketkeeper-batter right after lunch, while Nahid Rana got rid of Jaiswal after the opener got to his half-century. KL Rahul fell shortly after, leaving India at 144 for six. There wasn't a single happy face in the Indian dug-out, but all were smiles a little over a session later after Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja combined sensationally to frustrate the Bangladesh attack.
The visitors were staring at a 200-run total in the first innings for India, but Jadeja and Ashwin, who celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, crushed their hopes with an unbeaten 195-run stand, the highest-ever seventh wicket or below partnership for the hosts against Bangladesh. En route, Ashwin notched up his sixth century in the format, second at home and fastest in his career, while Jadeja too inched closer to his century mark as India ended Day 1 on 339 for six.
India returned to competitive cricket after more than a month by hosting Bangladesh for two Test matches and three T20Is. The Test series began with a match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and it marks the beginning of the home run for India as far as qualification to the World Test Championship final is concerned. Over the course of the next six months, India are scheduled to host New Zealand in a three-match series after the Bangladesh rubber and that will be followed by an epic five-Test tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh are buoyed by their recent historic 2-0 win over Pakistan. However, India in home conditions are always a different customer. No other team has dominated at home quite like they have. India have won 17 successive Test series at home since 2013 and have lost just four Tests they have hosted in this period. Moreover, Bangladesh have never won a Test match against India. Out of 13 Tests played between the two neighbours, India have won 11 and two matches ending in draws.
The Indian cricket team arrived a week before in Chennai to get used to the conditions and on Monday all the 16 players of the squad took part in the training session. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan - who joined the squad late after playing the second round of Duleep Trophy – had a hit in the nets with the India captain putting more focus on playing the spinners knowing that the Bangladesh have too many spin bowling options.
On the other hand, Bangladesh who landed in Chennai on Sunday had their intense training session at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday. Litton Das, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam and Mushfiqur Rahim timed the ball really well in the nets. Taijul Islam and Nayeem Hasan, the spinners who would play a key role in the two-match Test series were also seen in action. Shakib Al Hasan was expected to link up with the squad on Tuesday after his County stint at Surrey. The main attraction of Bangladesh’s training session was young pacer Nahid Rana, who claimed six wickets in two Tests against Pakistan.
Red-soil pitch and selection
The Chepauk track has been laid out with the red soil that is usually used to prepare the Wankhede pitch. Traditionally the red-soil pitch has bounce and carry, keeping the seamers in the picture. However, the hot and humid conditions in Chennai would possibly offer grip for the spinners as the Test progresses. But it would be the quicks who are expected to make an impact in the match because of the nature of the track and conditions. There would be a few sessions in the Test that would be dominated by reverse swing too.
The last time India played three seamers in a home Test was against Bangladesh in Kolkata in 2019. There is a possibility of India using the Bangladesh and New Zealand series that would follow as the preparation ground for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November to January. But they won’t risk laying out seamer-friendly tracks to prepare for Australia, while dropping crucial WTC points by losing Tests to Bangladesh and New Zealand. Mohammed Shami is expected to get fit for the Australia tour, but India would have these two Test series to identify other seamers apart from the regular quicks.
However, the India captain is not too concerned and said India have a lot of bowlers to pick from. Besides seniors, some talents also made heads turn in the recently concluded two round Duleep Trophy matches. Another selection dilemma would be between Sarfaraz and KL Rahul, who is returning to the Test fold after a while. Dhruv Jurel who was impressive in his debut series against England, has to make way for Rishabh Pant who is returning to Test cricket after a gap of two years.
When asked at the press conference about the work-load management for the bowlers ahead of the Australia tour, Rohit was clear that he and the team management have plans to rotate bowlers, depending on the workload that has been carried by them. In the England Tests, both Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were rested, paving the way for Akash Deep's Test debut. But with this being a two-Test series, the room to experiment isn't much. So if players are rested, it will be done over the next five Tests – two against Bangladesh and three versus New Zealand.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Fullish ball fourth delivery of the seventh from Taskin and Jaiswal gorgeously drives it through covers for four. Jaiswal lets the next ball go and then Jaiswal punches the last ball down the ground for anothef four. He is on 17 off 18.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: EDGED AND GONE! Rohit Sharma is the first to fall
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Hasan Mahmud gets the breakthrough for Bangladesh and it is the Indian captain. Mahmud has been going in and out all morning, didn't make Rohit play for much of that first over and now makes him go for the angle, a good length delivery. It seams away and the ball takes the edge, Rohit's counterpart Shanto takes the catch.
Rohit Sharma c Najmul Hossain Shanto b Hasan Mahmud 6 (19)
India 14/1 in 5.1 overs
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Rohit with the first boundary of the match
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Ah now Rohit rubs some of that aforementioned morning spice on Mahmud and Bangladesh's wounds. Rohit drives, it takes a thickish edge and goes through point to the boundary. Rohit is on 5 off 17, Jaiswal on 2 off seven.
India 8/0 in 4 overs
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Close call for Rohit early on!
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Big appeal for LBW off the second ball of the fourth from Hasan Mahmud. Umpire Rod Tucker shakes his head and Shanto takes the first review of the series. Fullish delivery, seams back and beats the inside edge, hitting Rohit on the thigh pad. Ball tracking shows umpire's call on impact and so very close but no cigar for Bangladesh. They should be encouraged by this though, it is a very spicy morning indeed in Chennai.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Rohit off the mark as well
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Taskin starts the second over with an absolute corker on a good length middle and leg to Jaiswal. The batter is squared and beaten for all money. A leg bye next ball. Taskin bowls a yorker to end the over, Rohit digs it out and takes a single for himself.
India 3/0 after 3 overs
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: A couple of good leaves for Rohit
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: The Indian captain will feel good about that, although he is yet to get off the mark after facing seven balls. Dinesh Karthik says in the commentary box that making the transition from white-ball mode to red-ball cricket as a batter is far more difficult than the other way around and Rohit has been playing some high octane white-ball cricket for six months now. Hasan Mahmud had bowled the second over, Jaiswal had taken a single off the first ball in it and so he is on two off seven.
India 2/0 in 2 overs
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Jaiswal off the mark
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Jaiswal gets a single against his name by tucking the fourth ball of the over away from his hip for a single. He was beaten by the previous ball and Rohit was then beaten when he took a rather loose waft at the last ball.
India 1/0 after 1 over

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: All right, enough talk, time to play some hard-nosed Test cricket! Yashasvi Jaiswal facing up, Rishabh Pant had a little chat with him before he walked out with his kit on, a few pats on the back from the wicketkeeper for the junior opener. Jaiswal has his captain Rohit Sharma at the other end. Taskin Ahmed starts the Bangladesh attack.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Time for the national anthems!
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: The two captains have led the two sides and they are standing adjacent to each other with the match officials. First comes Bangladesh's "Amar Sonar Bangla" and then India's "Jana Gana Mana". Both written by the great Rabindranath Tagore.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Test cricket at the Chepauk
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: This ground has become synonymous with the Chennai Super Kings in the last decade or so but the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk has a long and proud history of red-ball cricket, being the spiritual home of the sport in this region since the start of the Presidency matches in 1916.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Ravi Shastri makes the stadium shake with his voice, Rohit Sharma and Najmul Hossain Shanto are out there in their Test blazers. Bangladesh have won the toss and chosen to field first. Rohit says he would have done the same.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Similar bowling questions for Bangladesh
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Like India, it will be interesting to see if Bangladesh go for an extra seamer or three spinners. Conditions in the two Rawalpindi Tests in Pakistan was favouring pace bowlers and so Bangladesh had chosen three seamers there. However, the Chepauk pitch is expected to suit spin bowling more than what was the case in Rawalpindi.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Sarfaraz to be on the bench
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: KL Rahul is set to be back in the eleven as a pure batter and Gautam Gambhir indicated yesterday that Sarfaraz Khan had a brilliant start to his Test career in the series against England but it is no surprise is higher up in the pecking order considering his experience and the fact that he was in pretty sublime form before he got sidelined due to injury.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Bangladesh's overseas Test wins
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Since they started playing Test cricket in 2000, Bangladesh have won eight matches away from home. That is an impressive record, 24 years remains a short period for any side to transform themselves into a strong Test nation. Moreover, four of these wins have come since 2021.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: India's Test schedule
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: The second Test of this series is set to be played in Kanpur from October 1. This will be followed by a three-match Test series against New Zealand, who are currently playing out a series in Sri Lanka. The first match will be from October 16 in Bengaluru after which the second starts on October 24 in Pune. The third Test will be hosted at the Wankhede Stadium from November 1.
That ends the home Test season for India but it will be followed by arguably the biggest cricket event left in this calendar year - the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The series has expanded to five Tests and the first will be held in Perth from November 22. The second Test is the annual Adelaide pink-ball Test, a rather infamous event for India considering how it went in the last tour, and this starts from December 6. India then return to the venue of their greatest heist in the last tour Down Under, the Gabba in Brisbane for the third Test from December 14 and that will be followed by the Boxing Day Test at the MCG from December 26. The final match of the epic tour will be the New Year's Test in Sydney from January 3.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Kuldeep Yadav the batter
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Kuldeep Yadav has worked on his batting to make sure that his frailty in that department doesn't go against him in close selection calls. He had scored 28 and 30 in the last two times that he batted in Test cricket. Both those innings came as part of big lower-order stands that propelled India to a commanding position in those Tests.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Three spinners or no for India
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Considering the fact that the seamers are set to have a big say on the basis of what the pitch looks like, the big question is whether India will go with an additional spinner with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. If they do, it is quite likely that Kuldeep Yadav would get the nod ahead of Axar Patel.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: The Chepauk pitch
The track at the MA Chidambaram Stadium has been laid out with the red soil, which is usually seen at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Red-soil pitches generally have bounce and carry and thus keep the seamers in the picture. However, the hot and humid conditions in Chennai could possibly offer grip for the spinners as the Test progresses. But it would be the quicks who are expected to make an impact in the match because of the nature of the track and conditions. There would be a few sessions in the Test that would be dominated by reverse swing too.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Weather in Chennai
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: One can expect it to be nice and sunny in Chennai. In fact, forget about rain, the scorching heat might be some cause of concern for player over the course of this Test. Parts of Tamil Nadu were sizzling at over 40 degrees celsius on Tuesday. Chennai has recorded temperatures close to 40 degrees celsius in the afternoon quite frequently in the last few days.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Yaz chasing Baz

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Yazball was said to have chased away Bazball earlier this year when England toured India for five Test matches. Now Yashasvi Jaiswal really is chasing a record that belongs to Brendon McCullum. Jaiswal is only seven sixes behind McCullum's record of most sixes (33) hit in a calendar year in Tests.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Rishabh Pant in Test cricket
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Rishabh Pant made his first runs in Test cricket by hitting a six. He blasted the second ball he faced in his career from Adil Rashid at Trent Bridge for a big one in August 2018. He has played 33 Test matches in his career in which he has scored 2271 runs at an average of 43.67. Pant has scored five centuries and 11 half-centuries. Nine of those 11 half-centuries have in fact been 90s.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: India's 21st century turnaround
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: India have always been a difficult side to beat at home but they have taken this dominance to unprecedented levels since 2013. This has meant that their overall record in the 21st century is quite extraordinary. India came into it with 63 wins and 112 defeats from 336 matches played. It put the country’s win-loss record in Tests at 0.562. It now stands at exactly 1.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: India close to doing something they've never done
India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: If India win this match, their win-loss ratio will be more than 1 for the first time in their Test history. Having played their first Test match in 1932 at Lord's against England, never before have India won more matches than they have lost in the longest format. Of the 579 Tests they have played, India have won and lost 178 matches and drawn 222. There has also been one extraordinary tied Test in Chennai in September 1986.
India will be the fifth team to have more wins than losses in their Test history after Australia, England, Pakistan and South Africa.
