India vs Bangladesh Test Records: Key Stats and Facts

India are ready to host the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Before the beginning of the upcoming India vs Bangladesh Test series, we are going through some records of their previous meetings and key interesting facts.

It is the third time Bangladesh are touring India to play a Test match. Bangladesh played their first Test in India during the 2017 India tour for a one-off Test match. Later, during their 2019 India tour, Bangladesh played a two-match Test series against the hosts.
