The way Hasan Mahmood held the Indian batsmen at the start of the day, it seemed that the hosts would be relieved to score 200 runs. The name of the team is India. One of the top teams in Test cricket. After that, they play in their own field.
So, while Hasan Mahmood provided relief at the beginning of the day, it was the big pair of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja who gave Bangladesh discomfort at the end of the day. They were inseparable at the end of the day with a huge pair of 195 runs. With that, they put a smile on the faces of the hosts and ended the first day with a big score of 339 runs for 6 wickets. Played 80 overs. The day’s play ended with 10 overs remaining.
Ravichandran Ashwin scored an excellent century. Where Rohit-Kohli-Shubman Gill showed failure, Ravichandran assured determination. He remained unbeaten on 102 runs after picking up the 6th Test century of his career.
Ravindra Jadeja is also on the way to a century. After losing 6 wickets for 144 runs, Jadeja and Ashwin joined the pair. These two are unbeaten on 86 runs off 117 balls.
Nahid Rana and Mehdi Miraz also caught fire with Hasan Mahmood’s fiery bowling at the start of the day. As a result, Indians quickly lost 6 wickets. But Ashwin and Jadeja scored runs in the ODI style at the end even though the pace of scoring runs was low in the beginning.
Ashwin and Jadeja were the most destructive in the third session. They scored 163 runs in this session. The day’s play has been reduced to 10 overs. Otherwise India’s run could have crossed 400 in the last session.
Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to bowl first at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Bangladesh’s two pacers Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud got off to a good start in the cloudy morning. Indian batsmen have to sweat to get runs. They can take a total of 8 runs in the first 4 overs.
There was a possibility of wickets falling in between. In the fourth over of the innings, a great delivery from Hasan Mahmood hit Rohit Sharma directly on the pads. The umpire did not respond to Bangladesh’s strong appeal.
Bangladesh took the review because it was a close call. The review shows that the ball touched the top of the stamp. But luckily Rohit survived as the umpires called. If the umpire gave it out, it would have been out.
But Rohit could not use that opportunity. Hasan Mahmood took the Indian captain’s wicket in his next over. Rohit hit the edge of the bat in his swing and was caught by Nazmul Hossain Shantar at second slip. He scored 6 runs off 19 balls.
Then Shubman Gill was also returned for zero runs by Hasan Mahmud. With the ball going out to his leg side, Gill touched the bat and deposited the ball in the gloves of wicketkeeper Liton Das.
Virat Kohli, one of the pillars of Indian batting, could not stand in front of Hasan. He returned with a catch to the wicketkeeper while playing a drive in a great outswing for 6 runs. India lost 3 wickets for 34 runs, all wickets by Hasan.
The first hour in the first session was completely Bangladeshi. India was cornered by pacer Hasan Mahmud. Jasshwi Jaiswal and Rishav Pant made resistance from there.
They added 62 runs in the fourth wicket after India lost 3 wickets for 34 runs. The hosts went into the first day’s lunch break with 88 for 3 in 23 overs. Hasan Mahmud was hit immediately after lunch.
The ball, however, was wide. Pant played a late shot. The ball touched the bat and went to wicketkeeper Liton Das. Pant went to Sajghar for 39 runs, hit his pad with the bat in frustration. India lost 4 wickets for 96 runs.
Nahid Rana is now on top of all the Bangladeshi pacers in terms of speeding up the batsmen. This time, Nahid’s speed was defeated by Jasswi Jaiswal, who scored a half-century after holding one end for a long time.
Jaiswal touched the bat without understanding Nahid’s 148 km/h delivery. Sadman Islam took the catch at first slip. The Indian opener made his way to Sajghar with 56 off 118 balls and 9 boundaries.
In the next over, Lokesh Rahul (16 from 52 balls) fell in the whirlwind trap of Mehdi Hasan Miraj. Zakir Hasan took a great low catch at short leg. Bangladesh beat India again by picking up 2 wickets in 5 balls. India lost 6 wickets for 144 runs.
