India vs Bangladesh 1st Test: Stats Preview of Players' Records and Approaching Milestones

India will kick off their gruelling season of playing 10 Tests in the next four months with a series against Bangladesh at home. The first Test of the series will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, which is hosting its first Test since February 2021. 

India also last played a Test in March and will be coming back to Test cricket after a 6-month break. India currently sit on top of the WTC points table having beaten England 4-1 at home in February-March. Bangladesh are also coming off off their most historic Test series win having beaten Pakistan 2-0 away from home. That series win has now placed Bangladesh at No. 4 on the WTC points table. 

Bangladesh's remarkable comebacks after being in perilous positions in both Tests have been the talk of the town, and now Bangladesh face an even harder challenge. India have not lost a test series at home in over 12 years. Bangladesh just achieved their greatest feat in Test cricket and will need to do better than that immediately after.
