In the first Test held at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India defeated Bangladesh by 280 runs. Bangladesh continued their innings from Day 3 where they were 158/4. It was only a matter of time before Ravichandran Ashwin returned to bowl and that saw Bangladesh getting all out soon.

Ashwin took his 37th five-for in Tests, equalling the joint second-most five-fors by a bowler in Test Cricket. Bangladesh looked promising in this innings compared to the first. Their skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto 82(127) finally came back to form, scoring a fifty after 11 innings. He was looking good and was eyeing a ton but was dismissed by Ashwin. Not too long after, Bangladesh was bundled out for 234 and India won the match by 280 runs.
