CHENNAI, India :India's Ravichandran Ashwin smashed a rapid hundred and combined with Ravindra Jadeja in an epic rearguard action as the hosts overcome a top order meltdown to reach 339 for six against Bangladesh on the opening day of the first test on Thursday.
CHENNAI, India : Yashasvi Jaiswal brought up his half-century but India lost three wickets after the lunch break to be reeling at 176 for six at tea on the opening day of the first test in Chennai on Thursday.
Indian cricket team opener Yashasvi Jaiswal once again impressed as the youngster achieved a historic first during Day 1 of the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai on Thursday. Jaiswal remained resilient at one end while India kept losing wickets and was able to slam a gritty half-century against an impressive bowling attack. Thanks to the half-century, Jaiswal became the first batter in the 147-year history of Test cricket to score more than 750 runs in his first 10 innings at home. The record previously belonged to George Headley of West Indies who slammed 747 back in 1935.
Former India captain Virat Kohli was dismissed for a run-a-ball six on his home Test return against Bangladesh in the first match of a two-game series in Chennai on Thursday. This was the 35-year-old's first Test match on Indian soil since March 2023 and he received a rousing reception from fans when he came out to bat at the M Chidambaram Stadium. However, he ended up playing a loose shot outside the off-stump to hand Bangladesh a dream start to the match in the morning session.
Team India star Rishabh Pant was involved in a heated exchange with Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das on Day 1 of the 1st Test in Chennai. The incident happened in the 15th over of India's first innings with Taskin Ahmed bowling to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Taskin bowled a good length a delivery to Jaiswal who defended it towards gully. Pant wanted to steal a run but was sent back by Jaiswal. As the fielder sent the ball towards the non-striker's end, it deflected off Pant's pads and went towards mid-on.
CHENNAI, India :Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud produced a three-wicket burst to rattle India, who limped to 88 for three at lunch on the opening day of the first test in Chennai on Thursday.
Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir showered praise on skipper Rohit Sharma and said that he is a "great guy" and has a lot of respect in the dressing room. Rohit made his Test debut in 2013 against the West Indies, following that, he has appeared in 59 long-format matches and 101 innings, scoring 4138 runs at an average of 45.47. The two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh will kick off on September 19 at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. The second Test between India and Bangladesh will take place in Kanpur from September 27. Currently, Team India lead the WTC standings with a point percentage of 68.52. Their upcoming WTC series includes Bangladesh (two Tests, home), New Zealand (three Tests, home), and Australia (five Tests, away).
Bangladesh come into the Test series against India, starting on September 19 in Chennai, with high confidence, especially after securing a remarkable 2-0 win over Pakistan. But Parthiv Patel, the former India wicketkeeper-batter, believes facing the hosts' in their home conditions will require the Bangladesh batters to make big adjustments in playing against the SG ball, especially when it becomes old. Bangladesh play with the Kookaburra ball at home, and recently played with it in the Tests against Pakistan at Rawalpindi. But in India, they must get used to playing with SG balls, which take time to become soft.
