India won the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in November 2019 by 2-0 — part of the inaugural ICC World Test Championship; both Tests finished inside three days. Ishant Sharma was Player of the Series with 12 wickets. 1st Test Holkar Stadium, Indore (Nov 14-16): India won by innings and 130 runs — BAN 150 & 213; IND 493/6d. Mayank Agarwal scored 243 off 330 balls (28 fours, 8 sixes) — equalling Navjot Singh Sidhu's Indian record of most sixes in a Test innings (8). Agarwal became the second-quickest player to score two Test double centuries, reaching the milestone in just 12 innings. Player of the Match: Agarwal. The win was India's 4th consecutive Test victory by an innings — a new world record for consecutive innings wins in Tests. 2nd Test Eden Gardens, Kolkata (Nov 22-24): India won by innings and 46 runs — BAN 106 & 195; IND 347/9d. This was India's first-ever day-night Test match, played with the pink SG ball under lights at Eden Gardens. Virat Kohli scored 136 (his 27th Test century, 20th as captain) — the first Indian batsman to score a century in a day-night Test. India declared at 347/9. Ishant Sharma took 5/22 in Bangladesh's 1st innings and 4/39 in the 2nd (9 match wickets) — the first Indian bowler to take a five-wicket haul with the pink ball. Player of the Match: Ishant. Umesh Yadav took 12 wickets across the series. Shakib Al Hasan — Bangladesh's all-rounder and key player — was absent; he had been banned by the ICC on October 29, 2019 under the Anti-Corruption Code (two-year ban, one year suspended, for failing to report corrupt approaches). The win was India's 7th consecutive Test victory.

Agarwal 243 at Indore: Record Sixes and India's Fourth Consecutive Innings Win

Mayank Agarwal's 243 at Indore — his second Test double century after his 215 against South Africa just six weeks earlier — made him the second-quickest player (12 innings) in Test history to score two double centuries, after Don Bradman. His 8 sixes in the innings equalled Navjot Singh Sidhu's Indian record for most sixes in a single Test innings. The innings was built around partnerships of 190 with Ajinkya Rahane (86), 123 with Ravindra Jadeja (60*), and 91 with Cheteshwar Pujara (54) — a team batting performance that exploited Bangladesh's bowlers on a flat Indore surface. Bangladesh were dismissed for 150 in their 1st innings and 213 following on; Shami and Ishant shared the wickets. The innings-and-130-run win was India's 4th consecutive Test victory by an innings, extending a world record set during the South Africa series (Pune: innings+137; Ranchi: innings+202; now Indore: innings+130).

India's Maiden Day-Night Test: Kohli 136 and Ishant 9 Wickets Under Lights

India's reluctance to play day-night Tests — a position Virat Kohli had maintained over several years — was reversed for the Eden Gardens Test against Bangladesh. The pink SG ball behaved differently under lights than the standard red ball: it swung more and the visibility created by the floodlights gave it a sharper appearance. Bangladesh were bowled out for 106 in their 1st innings; Kohli's 136 in India's 347/9 declared was the first Test century in India's first-ever day-night match and his 20th as captain. Ishant Sharma's 5/22 in Bangladesh's 1st innings — becoming the first Indian bowler to take a five-wicket haul with the pink ball — and his 4/39 in the 2nd innings (Bangladesh dismissed for 195 following on) gave him 9 match wickets and Player of the Match. The atmosphere at Eden Gardens under lights — 65,000 capacity, roaring crowd in the evening sessions — set the template for India's subsequent day-night Tests.
