The Story in Brief
India registered their biggest Test win by runs on Friday, beating Bangladesh by 280 runs in the first Test in Chennai. Chasing a mammoth 515, Bangladesh were bowled out for 234 on the final day. Ravichandran Ashwin took six wickets in the second innings, including his 37th five-wicket haul, as India wrapped up the match with more than a session to spare. The victory gives India a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative of India’s Test dominance is often met with the retort ‘only at home’. But this record win, the biggest by runs in Asia, deserves respect without caveats. Bangladesh’s batting was poor, but India’s bowlers made it look that way. The real test will come when the team tours abroad later this year. Can they replicate this ruthlessness on seam-friendly wickets? That will settle the question of how good this side truly is.
