Bangladesh won the ODI series, but they will have to struggle hard to win the Test match. In this news, we will tell you how India dominated Bangladesh in the Test.

Bangladesh did not get a single win over India in 22 years

In the year 2000, ICC gave Bangladesh the status of Test playing nation. On 10 November that year, Bangladesh invited India home to play a Test. Bangladesh lost the match by 9 wickets. After this 11 Tests were played in both countries. India won 9 matches. 2 Tests could not be completed due to rain, due to which they were drawn. Bangladesh did not win even one.

5 out of 9 times India won the match by an innings margin. Once by 10 and once by 9 wickets. Apart from this, India defeated Bangladesh by huge margins of 208 and 113 runs. It is clear from these figures that in this format of cricket, the Bangladesh team does not stand anywhere in front of India.

2 tests were drawn due to the rain

In the 2 Test draws between the two countries, the rain became the only problem. For the first time in 2007, a Test match between the two was drawn at the Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. Then only 228 overs could be played. In 2015, the second Test at Fatullah ended in a draw. Then only the game of 200 overs could be completed. Normally 450 overs are bowled in a 5-day test match.

3-3 wins under Virat-Ganguly's captaincy

India dominates even at Bangladesh's home

Teams like Australia, England, and Sri Lanka have been defeated by Bangladesh in one test each at home. The team has defeated the West Indies twice at home. But, Bangladesh could never beat Team India at home. 8 Tests were played between the two in Bangladesh. While India won 6 matches, there were 2 draws.
