India achieved a historic milestone by winning their 179th Test match, surpassing their total losses of 178 for the first time since their debut in 1932. The 280-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Test in Chennai was powered by Ravichandran Ashwin’s brilliant all-round performance, including a six-wicket haul in the second innings. Set a daunting target of 515, Bangladesh were bowled out for 234, with Najmul Hossain Shanto top-scoring for the visitors. India declared at 287/4 with centuries from Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill, securing a 1-0 lead in the 2-match series.
