India defeated Bangladesh with ease in the first Test in Chennai - here's how the updated World Test Championship points table looks after the first IND vs BAN Test.
India's first match of the 2024-25 home Test season ended in familiar fashion as the hosts crushed Bangladesh by 280 runs. Having been put into bat on an overcast first day and a helpful-looking pitch by the Bangladesh captain, India were rescued by a counter-attacking century by R Ashwin, his sixth in Test matches.
Jasprit Bumrah then led the rout of Bangladesh in the first innings with 4-50 to bowl them out for 149 and hand India a 227-run lead. Centuries from Shubman Gill (119 not out) and Rishabh Pant (109) took India to 287-4 in the second innings, setting up a target of 515 for the visitors, who crumbled for 234, with Ashwin picking 6-88 to go with his first innings hundred.
