Records tumble during India's victory over Bangladesh in Chennai

Plethoria of records were tumbled after India crushed Bangladesh in the opening test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. India now have more victories than losses in Test cricket history for the first time ever in its 92-year-old history.

The men in blue now have 179 wins from their 581 Test matches with 178 losses. Moreover, this was the 14th Test match between India and Bangladesh, with the Men in Blue extending their head-to-head record to 12-0, with two matches ending in a draw.  

Ashwin etched history, picking up six wickets and joining late legend Shane Warne for most five-fers in Test cricket. He also surpassed legend Anil Kumble for most wickets in fourth innings for India as he now has 99 wickets, four wickets more than Kumble. The Tamil Nadu cricketer also went past Courtney Walsh's tally of 519 wickets in the opening Test
