Brief Score: IND 376 (R Ashwin 102*, R Jadeja 86*) & 81/3 (Gill 33*, Kohli 17) lead BAN 149 (S. Al Hasan 32, M Miraz 27) by 308 runs at Stumps on Day 2.
On Day 2 morning, Hasan Mahmud (5/83) became the first Bangladesh bowler to bag a five-wicket haul in India. The 24-year-old reached the milestone after he dismissed Jasprit Bumrah. India has been bowled out for 376 runs. However, it was senior bowler Taskin Ahmed (3/55), who got the new ball talking in the morning.
Jasprit Bumrah's powerful spell helped India bundle out Bangladesh for 149 in their first innings of the first Test in Chennai. Bumrah scalped four wickets, while Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, and Akash Deep scalped two each. For Bangladesh, Shakib Al Hasan was the top scorer with 32 runs. At the end of Day 2 play, Shubman Gill (33*) and Rishabh Pant (12*) remained unbeaten for India in the second innings and will resume batting on Day 3.
Talking Point: Jasprit Bumrah proved his mettle yet again, and Akash Deep was another positive for India in Test
Jasprit Bumrah once again showcased his exceptional skills and proved why he is considered one of the premier fast bowlers in the world. He came up with another memorable show by claiming a four-wicket haul. Bumrah added to the tension in the Bangladesh dressing room as early as the first over of the innings. Coming up with a series of unplayable deliveries before knocking the top of the off-stump to send opener Shadman Islam back, Bumrah was in top form.
Meanwhile, Akash Deep has emerged as a beacon of hope for Indian bowling in Tests. Akash took two wickets with excellent deliveries. Akash's dismissals were good to watch because he hit the timber twice in two balls to produce the wickets. He first removed Zakir Hasan for three before removing Mominul Haque from the next ball to send him back to the pavilion for a duck. The pacer is another positive force driving India's bowling prowess to greater heights.
