With scores of 33 and 12, respectively, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were still undefeated as India attempted to extend their commanding lead after the first two innings.
In the meantime, Rohit Sharma (5) lost his wicket to Taskin Ahmed, and Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) was dismissed by Nahid Rana. Mehidy Hasan Miraz also dismissed 17-year-old Virat Kohli. Jasprit Bumrah earlier claimed four wickets to help India limit Bangladesh to 149 runs in 47.1 overs. In a second session, Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das helped to temporarily defuse an unrelenting Indian attack for Bangladesh, but the hosts have essentially blown the hosts out of the contest by Tea.
Litton’s partnership with Shakib ended on 51 off 94, as he fell while attempting to sweep a powerful ball off Ravindra Jadeja on 22 off 42. Shortly after, Shakib collapsed while attempting to sweep Jadeja on 22 off 42. After that, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Hasan Mahmud held their own for the majority of the session until the latter was removed by Jasprit Bumrah off the final ball. Bangladesh therefore trailed India by 264 runs going into Tea with a score of 112/8.
India has previously been out for a total of 376. Day 2 of the first Test at the Chepauk Stadium saw the availability of the second new ball early in the morning, which Bangladesh grabbed. They would have been anxious for an early breakthrough, and in the third over of the day, Taskin Ahmed provided it for them, getting Ravindra Jadeja to edge behind to the wicketkeeper. Jadeja lost out on his sixth Test century because he was unable to raise his score from his overnight total of 86. On 199, he and Ravichandran Ashwin’s stand came to an end. In the end, Ashwin failed for 113 off 133.
The hosts have extended their lead to 308 runs against Bangladesh, who were dismissed for 149 earlier in the day.Bumrah’s 4 wickets for 50 runs were pivotal, and he was ably supported by Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and Ravindra Jadeja.
