Left-arm quick Arshdeep backed skipper Suryakumar Yadav's decision to field first as he removed the openers including Litton Das, for four, inside three overs in Gwalior.

Litton top-edged an angling delivery from Arshdeep to be caught at short cover and soon the left-handed Parvez Hossain Emon inside-edged the ball onto his stumps.

Debutant quick Mayank Yadav -- an IPL pace sensation who made heads turn with deliveries of more than 150 kilometres (93 miles) per hour, started with a maiden over and then struck in his second to send back Mahmudullah Riyad out for one.

Wickets kept falling and Chakravarthy, who has returned to the team after the 2021 T20 World Cup, struck regular blows with his mystery spin to rattle the opposition middle-order.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz fought hard with an unbeaten 35 but found little support and Arshdeep ended the innings in 19.5 overs.

Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, come into the T20 matches at the back of a 2-0 loss in the Tests.
