Leg-spinner Amit Mishra grabbed four second session wickets as India completed a 113-run victory over hosts Bangladesh in the first Test Thursday. Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim (101) was last man out following his maiden Test century, Mishra having him caught by substitute fielder Pragyan Ojha at long-off as the hosts were all out for 301. Mushfiqur Rahim's century, in which he struck 17 fours and one six, was the highlight of an otherwise disappointing batting performance by the hosts. Bangladesh resumed the final day on 67-2 chasing an unlikely 415 for victory but it was reduced to 136-5 at lunch after Virender Sehwag dismissed Tamim Iqbal for 52 and Ishant Sharma claimed the wickets of Mohammad Ashraful and Raqibul Hassan. Mishra (4-92) then set to work wrapping up the bulk of the tail. First he had Shakib Al Hasan (17) caught by Sehwag at silly point after the ball popped up off the shoulder of the bat, then Shahadat Hossain (24) clean bowled and Shafiul Islam (8) went after he drilled a catch back to the bowler. Zaheer Khan claimed the other wicket of Mahmudullah for 20 after he was caught by Dinesh Karthik. “They did not bat well. I think they bowled well in the first innings because the conditions were helping. But we batted well in the second innings. We put 400 runs on the board. It was difficult for Bangladesh to chase those runs,” said Sehwag, who led India in the game in the absence of injured regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Bangladesh's top-scorer Rahim said the first session on the fifth day proved decisive. “We lost the match to a great extent in the first session after the fall of wickets of Tamim and Ashraful,” he said. “If we could have got through the first session, they would have been under a lot of pressure in the next two sessions.” India, the number one ranked Test team, can wrap up a series win in the second and final Test which begins in Dhaka on Jan. 24. Laxman ruled out India batsman Vangipurappu Laxman has been ruled out of next week's second Test against Bangladesh through injury and will return home, a team official said Thursday. Laxman damaged his left hand attempting a catch on the fourth day of India's 113 run victory over the hosts, requiring 10 stitches to patch up the injury. - Reuters Scoreboard India (1st innings) 243 Bangladesh (1st innings) 242 India (2nd innings) 413-8 decl.
