CHENNAI, India :Bangladesh reached 56 for no loss in a cautious start to their pursuit of a humongous victory target of 515 against India in the opening test between the neighbouring countries on Saturday.
Veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan etched his name in Bangladesh cricket history on Saturday by becoming the oldest player from his nation to feature in a Test match. At 37 years and 181 days, Shakib took the field on Day 3 of Bangladesh's first Test against India in Chennai, surpassing the previous record held by left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique, who was 37 years and 180 days when he last played a Test in 2008.
India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant was at his best behind the stumps, not just with his glovework but also with his usual chatter, during Day 2 of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh. After Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja had helped India to a good total, it was their turn to star with the ball. Pant urged the duo on from behind the stumps, chipping in with his own advice as well. Once again, Pant's charisma from behind the stumps was well on display.
Virat Kohli has not been having a great time in Test cricket of late. In both innings of the first Test against Bangladesh, Kohli delivered poor scores of 6 and 17. While in the first innings, he chased an outside off stump delivery by Hasan Mahmud, in the second innings, he fell victim to a wrong leg-before-wicket decision. Having chosen to not review it, the Ultraedge discovered the bat making contact with the ball, which would have ruled Virat not out had he opted for a review.
Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill were in great form for India against Bangladesh on the third day of the first Test in Chennai On Saturday. Though they started slow, the young duo changed gears after the drinks break to take on the Bangladesh bowlers. They were helped by two dropped chances from Bangladesh fielders as the two Indian batters made merry. Bangladesh's field setting was criticised by Ravi Shastri and Tamim Iqbal as they were blasted for lack of intent.
Star India batter Virat Kohli's form dip continued as he failed to fire in the first Test against Bangladesh held at Chennai. In both innings of the Test, Kohli delivered poor scores of 6 and 17. While in the first innings, he chased an outside off stump delivery by Hasan Mahmud, in the second innings, he fell victim to a wrong leg-before-wicket decision. Having chosen to not review it, the Ultraedge discovered the bat making contact with the ball, which would have ruled Virat not out had he opted for a review.
Rohit Sharma's captaincy style is quite different to what Virat Kohli brought to the table. While Kohli was intense, Rohit, according to many who played under him, is one who always keeps his hands on teammates' shoulders and guides them. That, however, does not mean Rohit is short on intensity. He has his own style to communicate with his players. His famous 'garden mein ghoomne wala' comment went viral after he used it to tell his fielders to show intensity.
India pacer Akash Deep, playing in only his second Test, had to suffer an unfortunate blow. The 27-year-old showed confidence with the bat on Day 2, adding a cameo to the Indian total. Deep contributed 17 off just 30 balls, hitting four brilliant boundaries along the way. However, he also had to suffer a painful hit, as a misdirected throw from Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud hit him right on his backside. Soon after, it appeared as if India coach Gautam Gambhir was in a fit of laughter at the incident.
