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.

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.

Some Highlights from India vs Bangladesh 1st Test Day 1:

- India were 339/6 at Stumps (Ashwin 102 off 112; Jadeja 86 off 117)

- Ashwin gets to his sixth career century in 108 balls

- Pant and Jaiswal's stand went past 50 towards the end of the first session

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.

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.

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 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.

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: Bangladesh have a few Test veterans in their side and none have been more damaging for India than Mushfiqur Rahim. The wicketkeeper-batter is known for his meticulous preparation before a series and was seen practising a variety of sweeps at the Chepauk Stadium. Mushfiqur is one of few touring batters in the world who have a good Test record in India. He may have played only three Tests in the country but the Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter has scored 331 runs at an average of 55.16 with one century and two half-centuries.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Rishabh Pant's comeback

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: The biggest talking point of this series is Rishabh Pant's return. His career, one of the most incredible things Test cricket had ever seen in the last five years, went into a temporary deep freeze after he suffered a car crash at the turn of the year betwen 2022 and 2023. He had played his last international match just before that, which was also a Test against Bangladesh incidentally, where he scored 93 off 104 in the first innings. It was the sixth time that he had been dismissed in the 90s in Test cricket and he has five centuries to his name as well in just 33 matches. No wonder he is back in the squad as soon as he was available.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Jasprit Bumrah, the best in the world

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: That was the assessment of his new head coach, Gautam Gambhir, yesterday. This will be the first time that Gambhir will work with India's pace genius.

“Bumrah is the best fast bowler in the world in all the three formats. And it's not just his performance, it's just his hunger as well. The best part is that he wants to play as much Test cricket as he can,” Gambhir told reporters yesterday.

"I think what he has done in T20 format in West Indies to what he can do in red-ball cricket, what he did against England. So I feel that yes, it is actually not even a luxury. I think it's really an honour that we've got someone like Bumrah playing for us and sitting in that dressing room. We can make a change, we can make a difference at any stage of the game. So yes, hopefully, we can do the same in this series and going forward as well."

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Kohli's three-word game

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: "Kindness". "Chivalry". "Respect".

What did Kohli mean when he tweeted out those three words on X? Is it going to be his mantra in the upcoming Test matches? Is this what he is demanding from fans whenever they turn up in the stands for this series? Will it be his philosophy whenever he has a chat with opposition players? Has three words of the English language ever been analysed as much as this? Questions, questions everywhere and, let's face it, Kohli is under no obligation to clear up the three-word mystery.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: The threat that Bangladesh carry

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: They may be minnows in Test cricket but Bangladesh bring to India the kind of threats that the hosts are not used to facing when other top sides come visiting. Unlike England, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, Bangladesh have more than one genuine world class spinner in their lineup and the average batter from the country is more adept at handling this type of bowling than one from any of the aforementioned nations. Add to all this the fact that Bangladesh just looked much kore steady in all departments of the game than they ever have in that series in Pakistan and it becomes pretty clear that we have an interesting series in our hands. It will still be the mother of all upsets, to put it lightly, if Bangladesh manage to win even one of the two Tests, let alone the series, but it is not something that is entirely improbable, which was the case the last two times they toured India.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: What the presence of Jasprit Bumrah tells you...

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 1: Bumrah was not expected to be a part of the Indian team for this series even until a day before the squad for the first Test was announced. While there were some raised eyebrows over some senior Indian players not appearing in the Duleep Trophy, there was absolutely no one having any issue with Bumrah being given as much rest as he needed, considering the humungous value he brings when India travel to Australia for a five-Test series and then try to win the Champions Trophy next year.

However, there he is, preparing to throw them down at the Bangladesh batters. This could mean either of two things. One is that India are wary of the threat Bangladesh carry, especially considering what they did to Pakistan in Pakistan just before this series. If somehow Bangladesh pull off a similar heist in India, anyone who has followed cricket in this nation would know that all the euphoria of winning the T20 World Cup would be replaced by obituaries to India's life in Test cricket. And so, the selectors decided that no stone could be left unturned in trying to win at least the first Test. The other possibility is that Bumrah had enough of sitting at home and couldn't bear missing out on his beloved Test cricket when being fully fit.
