**Chennai, India:** India took a commanding lead in the first Test against Bangladesh, securing a comprehensive victory on the final day. Veteran spinner **Ravichandran Ashwin** starred with the ball, claiming a match haul of eight wickets and setting up a resounding Indian win.
The hosts had initially struggled on the first day, but Ashwin and **Ravindra Jadeja** combined to rescue the team from a precarious position. **Jasprit Bumrah** then took four wickets on the second day to solidify India’s dominance. Despite a valiant effort from Bangladesh, India’s superior bowling attack proved too much to handle, eventually securing a comfortable win and taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
This victory comes on the back of a successful Paralympic Games for India, where they achieved their best-ever medal tally. **Navdeep Singh** secured gold in javelin, while **Simranjeet Kaur** won bronze in the women’s discus, contributing to a total of 29 medals for the Indian contingent. **Praveen Kumar** also brought home a gold medal on Day 9, adding to India’s impressive performance in Paris.
However, **Kapil**’s bronze in judo on Day 8 was the only other medal for India on that day, highlighting the team’s mixed fortunes at the Games. Nevertheless, India’s overall performance at the Paralympics has been a source of national pride and optimism.
