IND vs BAN 1st Test Day 1 Highlights: The first test match between India and Bangladesh started in Chennai last Thursday. By the end of the first day’s play, India had scored 339 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. India’s trio disappointed in batting, while Ravichandran Ashwin made headlines by scoring the sixth century of his test career. Ravindra Jadeja also shone in batting, but Bangladesh also performed well in bowling. So let’s take a look at what happened on the first day of the Chennai Test?
Rohit and Kohli fell early, Shubhaman also failed
Captain Rohit Sharma’s poor record against Bangladesh in Test cricket continues. He was deceived by Hasan Mahmud’s outswing ball, which took the edge of the bat and went to the slip. Rohit was able to score only 6 runs in 19 balls in his innings. Apart from him, Virat Kohli was also out in the same manner. Hasan Mahmud’s ball also took the edge of his bat and went to the wicketkeeper. Kohli scored 6 runs and has not been able to score a single century in the last five innings. Shubman Gill got a chance at number-3, but he has been heavily criticized for getting out on a score of zero after playing 8 balls.
Ashwin-Jadeja’s unbeaten partnership of 195 runs
At one point, India had lost 6 wickets at a score of 144 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal played an innings of 56 runs, while Rishabh Pant (39 runs) and KL Rahul (16 runs) got a start but could not play a big innings. Team India was in trouble and it seemed difficult to score 200 runs on the scoreboard. But from here the magic of batting of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja worked.
Ashwin scored the sixth century of his career. He is unbeaten on 102 runs till the end of the first day’s play. On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja is playing on 86 runs and is very close to his fifth century in Test career. Ashwin-Jadeja’s partnership has reached 195 runs. Thanks to him, Team India is now dreaming of scoring at least 400 runs in the first innings.
Excellent bowling by Hasan Mahmud
Hasan Mahmud was the most successful bowler from Bangladesh. 24-year-old Mahmud has pace, but his bounce on the first day against India kept creating problems for the Indian batsmen. He maintained such bounce that the ball kept moving. He took 4 wickets for 58 runs in 18 overs. Mahmud dismissed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. All these four batsmen got caught by the wicketkeeper or slip. Apart from him, Mehdi Hasan and Nahid Rana also took one wicket each.
