The Indian bowling attack was impressive yet again in the first Test between India and Bangladesh. While the bowlers delivered the goods, India’s slip fielding was extremely poor as the Indian fielders were guilty of dropping as many as four catches in Bangladesh's first innings. While captain Virat Kohli spilt a simple catch, vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane had a poorer day on the field, putting down as many as three catches standing in the slips.
