Congratulations!
Well done, Bangladesh!
It does not matter who you beat - you have won your first Test, and won well, and that is what history and the record books will record.
I am a New Zealander, and I now live in Brisbane, Australia. New Zealand is a small country and cricket is not the main sport, so when we were first given test match status (many years ago), it took many matches before we had our first test win. But that was a turning point, as it gave us belief, knowing we could win at test level. Since then, New Zealand has won regularly, but we still celebrate every test win, or ODI win, especially when it is over Australia.
So, I know how you feel and I celebrate with you. I look forward to seeing you win more Tests and ODIs - especially against India. That will be worth waiting for!

New Zealand has a rivalry with Australia that is why New Zealanders relish their wins against Australia. India has its own rivalry with Pakistan, the greatest rivalry in world cricket on show as a lot of emotions and passions are involved whenever the two countries are involved in a match. But there is nothing like this when India plays Bangladesh. It will definitely be special from Bangladesh point of view to win against India, but I do not see anything similar in matches against Bangladesh.
Indians play their other neighbour i.e. Sri Lanka but there is nothing special about these matches unlike Indo-Pak matches. Same will happen for India bangladesh matches as well. |

I would prefer to see Bangladesh beat Pakistan rather than India.

Lets make it second and first ever series win.
I think it's possible if they keep focussed on the match.
This win was a history which means already past, so go for new one and no need to wait for a long.
Congratulation to every one.

I am quite confident we will win the series. Same goes for the ODI series. Fingers crossed.
