**Chennai, India:** The first Test match between India and Bangladesh kicked off today at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with Bangladesh winning the toss and electing to bowl first.

The match promises to be a test of India’s ability to handle spin, as Bangladesh has emerged as a strong spin bowling side, with their spinners taking a large portion of their wickets in recent years.

India’s batting lineup will need to be wary of Bangladesh’s spin attack, particularly Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who will be key in setting the tone for the match.

The pitch, a red-soil surface offering good bounce and carry, is expected to provide early assistance to the pacers, but spin is likely to become more prominent as the match progresses.

The match will also be a test of India’s strength against a team known for its resilience and ability to upset the odds, having recently achieved a historic win in Pakistan.

**Early Wickets:** India got off to a shaky start, losing Rohit Sharma early to a well-bowled delivery from Hasan Mahmud. Shubman Gill followed suit, also falling victim to a Hasan delivery, leaving India in a precarious position at 2 wickets down.

**Key Milestones:** The series will also see Virat Kohli inching closer to Sachin Tendulkar’s record number of Test runs and Ravindra Jadeja seeking to further cement his status as an all-rounder.
