Bangladesh did not get a single win over India in 22 years
In the year 2000, ICC gave Bangladesh the status of Test playing nation. On 10 November that year, Bangladesh invited India home to play a Test. Bangladesh lost the match by 9 wickets. After this 11 Tests were played in both countries. India won 9 matches. 2 Tests could not be completed due to rain, due to which they were drawn. Bangladesh did not win even one.
5 out of 9 times India won the match by an innings margin. Once by 10 and once by 9 wickets. Apart from this, India defeated Bangladesh by huge margins of 208 and 113 runs. It is clear from these figures that in this format of cricket, the Bangladesh team does not stand anywhere in front of India.
