NEW DELHI: In a thrilling day of cricket in Chennai, that saw 17 wickets tumble, India put on an impressive display, with Jasprit Bumrah spearheading the attack against Bangladesh. Bumrah set the pace by removing Shadman Islam early, who misjudged an in-cutter. He went on to dominate, claiming the wickets of Mushfiqur Rahim, Taskin Ahmed, and Hasan Mahmud.
India has taken a commanding lead in the first Test against Bangladesh, courtesy of Jasprit Bumrah’s outstanding bowling performance.By stumps on the second day, India had established an overall lead of 308 runs.

Bumrah’s 4 wickets for 50 runs were pivotal, and he was ably supported by Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and Ravindra Jadeja.

Bangladesh was bundled out for 149 in their first innings, in reply to India’s 376.
India’s second innings got off to a shaky start but found stability to end the day at 81 for 3. Shubman Gill (33 not out) and Rishabh Pant (12 not out) were at the crease.
In India’s second innings, Taskin Ahmed removed Rohit Sharma for 5 runs, caught by Zakir Hasan at gully. Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 10 runs, succumbing to a delivery from Nahid Rana.

Despite losing early wickets, India’s substantial first-innings lead kept them in a commanding position. Virat Kohli (17) joined forces with Gill to add 39 runs for the third wicket, helping to steady their innings.
Bangladesh’s cautious approach ultimately led to their downfall. Litton Das and Shakib Al-Hasan, who appeared at ease during a 51-run stand, were both dismissed due to preventable mistakes.
Litton’s slog sweep off Ravindra Jadeja was caught by substitute fielder Dhruv Jurel. Shakib’s attempt at a reverse sweep off Jadeja resulted in a deflection off his boots into Rishabh Pant’s gloves.
Akash Deep and Ravindra Jadeja claimed two wickets each, while Mohammed Siraj took one, dismantling Bangladesh’s batting order.
Pacer Akash Deep further hastened Bangladesh’s collapse by removing Zakir Hasan and Mominul Haq in quick succession. Prior to their collapse, Bangladesh enjoyed some success by rapidly taking the last four Indian wickets, including Ashwin (113) and Jadeja (86).

Ashwin and Jadeja’s partnership yielded 199 runs, spanning 240 balls and 189 minutes across three sessions. Taskin Ahmed claimed three crucial wickets, including those of Ashwin, Jadeja, and Akash Deep.
In the first innings, Hasan Mahmud claimed a fifth wicket by dismissing Bumrah, marking his second consecutive five-wicket haul after a performance against Pakistan in Rawalpindi earlier this month.
