India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test: records and stats at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram

The first of two Test matches between India and Bangladesh will be played on December 14. After being humiliated in the One-Day Internationals, India would seek retribution. India won the last ODI convincingly, and coach Rahul Dravid will be hopeful that his squad can continue to win. Despite great progress in white-ball cricket, Bangladesh has struggled to exhibit consistency in the game’s longest format.

KL In Rohit Sharma’s absence will captain the team. Virat Kohli scored a superb century in the third ODI to put himself back in contention. Bangladesh’s top batter will be kept at bay by Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam. Rishabh Pant will pose a significant danger to Bangladesh’s inexperienced bowling attack. In Test cricket, the big-hitting Pant comes into his own and has the ability to crush Bangladesh’s challenge. It will be interesting to see if Mehidy Hasan Miraz can replicate his outstanding limited-overs form in the Test series.
