Ravichandran Ashwin claimed six wickets after a first-innings century with the bat to inspire India to a 280-run thrashing of Bangladesh in the first test on Sunday.
The visitors arrived in Chennai in confident mood following a historic victory in Pakistan but they were no match for an Indian team for whom Rishabh Pant celebrated a triumphant return from a serious car crash.Bangladesh were bowled out for 234 in the first session of an overcast day four while chasing a victory target of 515.
"It was a great result looking at what lies ahead," skipper Rohit Sharma said after India made an ominous start to a fresh test season of 10 matches. India declared their second innings at 287 for four on day three after centuries from Shubman Gill, who hit an unbeaten 119, and the returning Pant, who made 109, flattened the opposition.
