India secured a historic victory against Bangladesh in the first Test of a two-match series at Chennai’s Chepauk Stadium, marking a monumental moment in their cricketing journey. With this 280-run win, India not only took a 1-0 lead in the series but also achieved a significant milestone: for the first time in its 92-year Test history, India's tally of Test wins surpassed its tally of losses. The team has now won 179 matches, with 178 losses, out of a total of 581 Tests since its debut in 1932.

India’s dominance in this match was driven by a stellar all-round performance, particularly by veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who took 6 wickets for 88 runs in Bangladesh's second innings. Ashwin's contribution with both bat and ball was pivotal as he tore through Bangladesh’s lineup on the fourth day, helping India bowl them out for 234, well short of the 515-run target. Ravindra Jadeja also played a crucial role, taking 3 wickets for 58 runs.

Bangladesh had started day four at 158 for 4, but India's bowlers quickly wrapped up the innings, with only skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto offering resistance through his fighting 82 from 127 deliveries. Despite Shanto’s efforts, Bangladesh faltered, unable to handle the spin duo of Ashwin and Jadeja.

India’s batting brilliance in the second innings set the tone for this massive victory. Declaring at 287 for 4, India built a commanding 514-run lead, thanks to centuries from Rishabh Pant (109) and Shubman Gill (119). Both batsmen exhibited aggressive stroke play, with Pant leading the charge and Gill showing maturity in his approach. The strong second-innings display followed India’s solid first-innings total of 450, where Ashwin’s century had been another highlight.

Bangladesh struggled from the outset, managing only 195 in their first innings, with Ashwin once again in the thick of the action, scoring a century and claiming key wickets. The Chepauk victory reflects India's dominance at home, particularly in spin-friendly conditions, and Ashwin’s heroics, playing at his home ground, underscored his value as one of India’s greatest match-winners in Test cricket.
