First Time In 147 Years: Yashasvi Jaiswal Achieves Historic Feat In 1st Test vs Bangladesh

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.

Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud rattled India with four wickets to leave the hosts on 176-6 at tea on the first day of the first Test at Chennai on Thursday.

Hasan vindicated skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto's decision to field first in overcast conditions as he struck early with three wickets and took one more after lunch.

Ravindra Jadeja, on seven, and Ravichandran Ashwin, on 21, were batting at the second break.

The tourists, who come in fresh from a 2-0 sweep in Pakistan, are chasing their first-ever Test win against India.

Mahmud ripped through the Indian top order including skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli -- both scoring just six runs -- to leave the hosts teetering at 34-3 inside the first hour of play.

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who made 56, put on a 62-run stand with fellow left-hander Rishabh Pant to get some momentum into the Indian innings.

Hasan broke the stand in the third over after lunch when
