Bangladesh reduced their opponents to 48/3 in the opening session of the Test, but fifties from Pujara, Iyer and Ashwin bailed them out of trouble to post a total in excess of 400. Shakib went after the Indian bowlers and hit a flurry of boundaries but he was eventually castled by Kuldeep Yadav for 84. The action is the same, just trying to be aggressive in the rhythm (about working on his bowling). The way we bowled in the first innings really set the game up. From the position we were in to get to 400+ was a job well done by the batters. There was some pace in the first innings, but the second innings was very challenging. Very pleased with the way we bowled in both the innings. PoTM: To be very honest I am happy with the performance, both with bat and ball. The way their openers batted, made it harder for us and we knew that we had to work hard for our wickets. It was important that we turned up and performed well in the Test series. It was a slow pitch, not much in the wicket for batters to get runs easily. With this win, India climb to the third spot on the WTC point table.

In the traditional format, Bangladesh has never had the bowling resources to trouble teams regularly even when they have played at home. But they do have a steady batting line-up for home conditions with skipper Shakib having 4000 plus runs under his belt. India are currently fourth in the WTC table behind Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka. In the past one year, Rahul hasn't been exactly exceptional in terms of cricketing smarts as far as captaincy is concerned and this series where he is likely to get two games will be an acid test as far as his long-term leadership ambition is concerned. Saurabh, who has been a star performer for India A team in the recently concluded two-Test series against Bangladesh A with 15 wickets, would feel that he has made his case for a Test Cap in at least one of the two games. KL Rahul's tactical acumen will be tested along with his batting prowess when a depleted Indian team clashes with a tricky Bangladesh in the high-stakes two-match series, the result of which will have an impact on India's chances for the
