Bangladesh were supposed to give India a tough fight in red ball cricket.

On a manchester-esque pitch, 2/3rds of the 1st day done of the Chennai Test - all that was true. But then Ashwin and Jadeja - probably the greatest ever twosome allrounders ever in any test team became Batman and Robin and saved Gotham. Both achieved significant milestones.

Hasan Mahmud and Rishabh Pant sandwiched that Ashwin-Jadeja show to put their own claim of a dream run continuing.

Shakib al Hasan courted more controversies. India won a highly significant test which took its overall test wins higher than overall test defeats.

We look ahead to the 2nd test in Kanpur.

Afghanistan cracks the SENA code and we believe they are the 2nd best white ball team in Asia.

We look at Eng-Aus white ball tour and speculate if Travis Head is gearing up to open in red ball cricket.
