The inception of the Test first between India and Bangladesh was exceptionally thrilling. After reaching only 144 with the loss of 6 wickets the men blue had a solid comeback with registration of an impressive 339. Thanks to the unbeatable 195-run partnership between Ashwin and Jadeja. Hence without any further ado let’s dig into the complete highlights of the match.
The complete highlights of the 1st Test of India Vs Bangladesh
After the back-to-back early dismissals of skipper Rohit Sharma in only 6 runs, following Shubman Gill with a duck and Virat Kohli scoring just 6 runs the batting order of India seemed to be falling down in front of the strong-blowing attack. Although Yashasvi Jaiswal held fort with 56 runs giving hope his dismissal also continued the fall of wickets with Rishabh Pant scoring 39 and KL Rahul adding only 16 to the scoreboard.
Indians’ disappointing start put only 144 runs with the fall of 6 crucial wickets. As things are getting out of hand India’s all-rounders Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja notched up a 195-run partnership making a solid score of 339.
Such a comeback is only possible for Ashwin’s breakthrough century in 108 deliveries peppering in 10 fours and 2 sixes in the innings while the Bangladeshi spinners become clueless about dismissing the pair.
Additionally, Jadeja’s unbeatable 86 is commendable as well for making the Indian team recover from such a worse score.
The second and final Test will kick off on September 27 at Kanpur.
