India thrashed Bangladesh by an innings and 130 runs in the first Test of the two-match Test series on Saturday. The Holkar Stadium in Indore was witness to total domination from the hosts, who made life difficult for the visitors throughout the game. It was a comprehensive all-round performance from the Indian team with both the batsmen and the bowlers contributing well.

After the bowlers bundled out Bangladesh for 150 in their first innings, Mayank Agarwal led the charge with a stunning double century (243) laced with 28 fours and eight sixes. With the help of his double ton and fifties from Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja, India posted a huge total of 493/6 (declared) on the board in their first innings taking a lead of 343 runs.

In reply, Bangladesh crumbled again in their second innings on the third day of the Test match as the Indian pacers led by Shami ran riot. Mushfiqur Rahim was the only Bangladesh batsman to stage a fight against a stern Indian bowling attack with a gritty 64 before his stay in the middle was cut short after an excellent running catch from Pujara.

In the 68th over of Bangladesh's second innings, Mushfiqur mistimed his shot against Ashwin as the ball went high in the air. Pujara backtracked and pulled off a good running catch to ensure Mushfiqur was back in the hut which all but ended Bangladesh's fight as they were skittled out for 213 to fall short in the chase.

Indian bowlers continued their fine run in the longest format of the game with Shami and Ashwin taking 12 wickets between them in the game. With the victory, India took a 1-0 lead in the series and extended their unbeaten run in the World Test Championship where they have won their last six games in a row. India stand on top of the ICC Test Championship rankings with a staggering 300 points from three series played.
