The match saw veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin at his best, claiming a six-wicket haul in the second innings to dismantle the Bangladeshi batting line-up. Ashwin’s figures of 6/88 were complemented by Ravindra Jadeja’s 3/58, as the duo spun a web around the visitors1. Starting from their overnight score of 158 for four, Bangladesh was bundled out for 234, with only skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto putting up a fight with a valiant 821.

Fans took to social media to celebrate the emphatic win, with many trolling Bangladesh and drawing comparisons with Pakistan’s recent performances. The phrase “Pakistan Samjhe The Kya” (Did you think we are Pakistan?) trended on Twitter, as fans highlighted the stark difference between India’s dominant display and Pakistan’s recent struggles against Bangladesh1.
One fan tweeted, “Pakistan samajh liye the kyaa… #INDvBAN,” while another posted, “Pak lost 2 Test Matches against Bangladesh. India beat Bangladesh in 1st Test Match by 280 Runs. There is a big difference between Indian Team and Pakistani Team. Pak Fans must understand this #BANvIND #Ashwin”1.
Apart from Ashwin and Jadeja, several Indian players contributed significantly to the victory. Mohammed Siraj’s fiery spells with the new ball set the tone early on, while Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara’s solid batting performances laid a strong foundation in the first innings1. Captain Rohit Sharma’s strategic acumen was also on display, as he made timely bowling changes and field placements that kept the pressure on the Bangladeshi batsmen.
For Bangladesh, it was a match to forget. Despite Shanto’s resistance, the rest of the batting line-up failed to provide meaningful support. Shakib Al Hasan’s brief partnership with Shanto offered some hope, but his dismissal for 25, followed by a collapse, sealed their fate1. The team will need to regroup and come up with a better strategy ahead of the second Test in Kanpur, starting September 271.
India’s comprehensive victory has not only boosted their confidence but also solidified their position at the top of the World Test Championship standings1. With the second Test just days away, the team will be looking to maintain their momentum and secure a series win.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, will need to address their shortcomings and find ways to counter India’s formidable bowling attack. The return of experienced players and a more disciplined approach could be key to their chances in the next match.
As fans continue to celebrate India’s triumph, the focus now shifts to Kanpur, where the second Test promises to be another thrilling encounter. The phrase “Pakistan Samjhe The Kya” has become a rallying cry for Indian supporters, reflecting their pride in the team’s performance and their anticipation for more victories to come.
