India kicked off their long 10-match Test season in style with a commanding win against Bangladesh in Chennai on Sunday.

The Rohit Sharma-led team dominated the opening Test of the two-match series. The game wrapped up in under four days, with India securing a 280-run victory. This victory not only gave India a 1-0 lead in the series but also cemented their top position on the World Test Championship (WTC) points table.

Following this triumph, India’s WTC points percentage (PCT) jumped to 71.67, with 86 points from 10 Tests. Prior to the series, India were already leading the WTC table, but this win widened their lead over second-placed Australia by 9.17 PCT.
