Home hero Ravichandran Ashwin on Thursday said he made a conscious effort to bat aggressively on the red soil pitch laid out for the first Test against Bangladesh. The ploy worked brilliantly as Ashwin got India out of a hole with a sublime hundred in front of his home crowd. "It's an old Chennai surface with a bit of bounce and carry. The red soil pitch allows you to play a few shots if you are willing to just get in line and give it a bit of a tonk when there's width," Ashwin told the host broadcasters after the opening day's proceedings.

Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud joined the elite company of pacers alongside South African legend Dale Steyn to have four wickets as a visiting pacer on day one of a Test match in India since year 2000. Mahmud accomplished this feat during the first Test against India at Chennai's MA Chidambram Stadium. The bowler delivered a scorching spell on first day, taking 4/58 in 18 overs at an economy rate of 3.20. The bowler got rid of a star-studded top-order consisting of skipper Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0), Virat Kohli (6), and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant (39).

Bangladesh's Pace Revolution: Story Of Planning, Commitment At Grassroots Level

For the last one month, Bangladesh is on a mission to reverse a long-standing trend of left-arm spinners leading their bowling. Two beanpole quicks are at the forefront of that changing of baton - Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana. They arrived on these shores after a sensational effort against Pakistan, but India could be a daunting destination even for the more experienced ones. But on the opening day of the first Test against India here on Thursday, Mahmud (4/58) and Rana (1/80) justified the hype around them, rather contrastingly.

Ravichandran Ashwin proved once again that he is one of top Test all-rounders in the world. Had it not been for Ashwin's valiant effort (102*, 112b) along with Ravindra Jadeja (86*, 117b) on the first day of the first Test against Bangladesh, India would have been on a tricky spot. The Rohit Sharma-led side were reduced to 144/6 but Ashwin and Jadeja stitched a 195*-run stand - India's highest for the seventh wicket against Bangladesh in Tests. Ashwin also completed his 6th Test ton and his second in Chennai as India finished the day on 339/6.
