NEW DELHI: India secured a dominant victory in the opening Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh. Setting an imposing target of 515 runs for the visitors, the hosts bowled out Bangladesh for 234 in their second innings, sealing a comprehensive 280-run win at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who was named Player of the Match, played a pivotal role with both bat and ball, scoring a century and taking 6/88 in the match.
The game also featured a light-hearted moment between Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj.
Cameras caught Gill teasing Siraj on the field, saying, "Mohammad Siraj official ID hai, baaki ki sab fake hai [This is Mohammed Siraj's official ID; all the others are fake]."

This playful banter harks back to an old Instagram video posted by Siraj before his international debut, where he clarified that his account was genuine amid the presence of numerous fake profiles.

With this resounding victory, India take a 1-0 lead in the series and will now look to maintain their momentum in the second Test, scheduled to begin on September 27 at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
Currently, India top the World Test Championship rankings, having played 10 matches this season with seven wins, two losses, and one draw.
