The Indian side showed great composure in the first test after a heartbreaking ODI series loss to Bangladesh. A roaring performance from Cheteshwar Pujara in both innings with scores of 90  and 102 was the spine of the Indian batting in the first test. Kuldeep Yadav who was brought back into the side proved his skill with a fifer in the first innings and scalped another three wickets in the second innings to stand apart as a most valuable bowler for the side in the first test. Apart from Pujara, Shreyas Iyer in the first innings contributed 86 runs to help India cope with the early wicket losses. Shubman Gill's maiden test hundred which came in India's second innings was another impactful performance of the match. Though big guns Virat Kohli and KL Rahul failed to make their mark, the overall team performance was impressive.

Bangladesh started off convincingly in the first innings after removing KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Rishab Pant early on. Taijul Islam who scalped four wickets in the first innings failed to deliver in a similar fashion in the second innings after bowling 23.4 overs. Apart from debutant Zakir Hasan who scored his maiden century in the second innings, no other Bangladesh batter could come up with an impactful performance. Skipper Shakib Al Hasan who was removed on just 8 runs in the first innings, amassed some runs in the second but failed to save his side from defeat while chasing a monumental total of 513 runs.. The hosts will be keen to end the curse of never winning a test against India and come back stronger in the upcoming second test match to tie the series. ICC World Test Championship 2021–23 Points Table Updated: Pakistan’s Chances Dented, England Out of Contention Despite Series Win
