India will aim to extend their home supremacy when they face Bangladesh in the first of a two-match Test series. Virat Kohli’s India are World No 1 and are unbeaten at home since 2012, overseeing 26 Test matches – 20 of which have resulted in wins. They are fresh from their 3-0 rout of South Africa, which consolidated their top spot in the ICC World Test Championships. Bangladesh, on the other, come with too many inner conflicts.

Bangladesh are also 0-7 behind on head-to-head records and have never beaten India in Test matches.
