Agarwal was extraordinary today and his total was almost 1.5 times the total of 10 Ban players. Virat's loss for a duck did not even matter as they already managed to put up enough runs. Glad they declared and made Ban out for 213. Looks like 6 is their favorite figure. Bad omen!
The reason Virat Kohli declared the innings without giving Ravindra Jadeja the opportunity to score a century is because he got out for a duck and it was obvious that India will win the match easily but they could have given some good batting practice for the rest of the players as well, the next match is day night test and it will be hard for spinners because of due and it will be a new experience for Indian cricket fans.

The first test between Ind vs. Ban was so boring. From the start only it was clear Ban will lose as they started losing wickets without even reaching 50. Only Rahim was playing well but after he went, the other 4 couldn't make the score even 200.

Bangladesh really disappointed in this test. They did not showed any resistance to Indian bowlers and fielders and never looked like a team which have a current to win or show any performance. On the other hand Mayank Agarwal scored 243 and rightly deserved the Man of the match.
The Indian fielders gave them many chances to the Bangladesh batsman by missing many catches and still they were not able to capitalize on those opportunities on the other hand Bangladesh gave Mayank Agarwal a chance by putting his catch down and he showed that gratitude by scoring yet another double century but the bowlers bowled really well and it was an expected result. Innings and 130 run win. It was expected though, Bangladesh used to play poor in the test cricket. They barely perform a match winning in test matches. But I didn't expect such a match, a little more sauce would be good. There was no chance for betting in this match.
If I'm correct Bangladesh once had a match drawn against India, other than this- all the lose was big like this one or even more bigger. This is really stupid for a country playing test since 2001.

Honestly speaking I have not watched any single ball from this match. How many overs did India played today before they declared?
India didn't bat today, they declared overnight. India might have played 120-130 overs. 
Bangladesh did not started their innings well and have lost 4 wickets already on a score of 68 runs . They are still behind by 278 runs and 6 wickets left . Can they atleast ensure India has to bat in fourth innings or will be a win for India by a innings and few runs .
They already lost 6 wickets and Rahim is the only one hanging in there at the moment. Almost everyone guessed that India would win this one by an innings which is why I am surprised to hear that you thought that they could actually score above 400 in the 2nd innings.This match is over and the next one will probably finish in the same manner. Once Bumrah returns, the Indian team will probably be unbeatable in tests for a longer duration.
The game ended in less than 3 days only showing how well India team has played this test match and Bangladesh has to work on few things to make the game more exciting . India might rest someone in next game and give couple of young players the chance to play the next test .

Hmm... I would partially agree. However, in T20 the weaker teams have a larger chance of committing an upset. For example, England was beaten by the Netherlands twice in this format, and such a result would be unthinkable if they were playing the test format. I believe that the chances of the weaker team is inversely proportional to the duration of the game.
Yeah, you were right about the short format. Thanks for bringing it. It was out of my mind when I was making my last post in here.~snip~
Kohli could have given Jadeja the opportunity to score his century rather than declaring soon as if he has some other work to do and looking at his urgency he might try to finish the Bangladesh innings today itself.

I have predicted the result long ago with the margin of the result :-P~snip~
India will win by an innings and 100+ runs in this match.

Bangladesh 49/4. Could have been 49/5 if Rohit didn't drop the catch. I don't expect BAN to drag the game to Day 4, expecting the result today 
I would consider it to be a big achievement for the Bangladesh team, if they could manage 100 runs in the second innings. They have crawled slowly to 60/4, but I don't think that they will be able to survive beyond the second session today. The Bangladesh fans may be feeling the absence of Shakib al Hassan and Tamim Iqbal right now.
If India had toured South Africa, then we could have seen a good fight between the teams. It's a known fact that with the current team, India is almost impossible to be defeated in their home ground.
If any country visited India now they will defeat any team including England and Australia with ease and it is impossible to win against India in their home ground, earlier too they were good at home ground and now they have a team that could challenge any team own their own turf.Bangladesh 49/4. Could have been 49/5 if Rohit didn't drop the catch. I don't expect BAN to drag the game to Day 4, expecting the result today
Kohli could have given Jadeja the opportunity to score his century rather than declaring soon as if he has some other work to do and looking at his urgency he might try to finish the Bangladesh innings today itself. That said, how many teams are out there, who could give good competition to the current Indian side? South Africa is currently ranked 4th in the ICC Test Rankings (above Australia) and we saw how they fared against India. There is something seriously wrong with the sport, if a 4th ranked team can't compete against the first ranked side in a meaningful way.

When the strength has significant difference then we will see this kind of boring match no matter if this is Test, ODI or T20.

Well give me a match between Aus vs Eng or Eng vs India or India vs Aus, I will watch most of the balls. Test cricket are still the real cricket but it really has to be with same strength.

The most interesting matches are always by top three teams in world cricket, England, Australia and India and i am looking forward for the Indian tour of New Zealand and how the current Indian batsman will deal with the bounce is to be seen and they have some quality fast bowlers and how well they can perform in those pitches is to be seen and the rest of the matches are mostly one sided and even England does not have a good test team.

I found the match boring and watched only a few overs today. Matches such as this one are the reason why people are losing interest in test cricket.

And this 343 lead is enough to have this winning margin. I know Kohli knows the best but if I were to lead the team then I would ask the Bangladesh team to bat from the morning. Early morning the bowlers will have very good advantage and this should be enough to damage the Bangladeshi top order.
Whether Kohli declares the innings or not, the match will be probably over by the end of the day tomorrow. The outcome is already known to everyone. India is going to win by an innings and 100 plus runs (as you had posted earlier). I found the match boring and watched only a few overs today.

India has a lead of 343 runs already and today is just 2nd day of play . I think they would take a lead of around 400 and will declare their innings and Bangladesh might lose this game by inning and some runs it seems now as India has posted big lead already .
You need to remember that India has lost six wickets as well. They would like to get to a lead of 400 or even 450. But it needs to be seen for how long Umesh Yadav will be able to give company to Ravindra Jadeja. Once either of these two gets out, it is going to be tough. Ashiwn can bat a bit, but both Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Shami are real tailenders.
This is what I was predicting before or after the tea today:
India will win by an innings and 100+ runs in this match.
