In just 49 balls, Rishabh Pant reached his 11th Test half-century as he and Shreyas Iyer launched a counterattack to put the pressure back on Bangladesh.
This crucial fifty from Rishabh Pant has stabilised India’s innings. Earlier in the day, Bangladesh’s bowlers caused trouble for India. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, the day’s openers, were both dismissed by the spinner Taijul Islam during the opening session of play. Additionally, he dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara.
Virat Kohli was dismissed shortly after lunch by Taskin Ahmed as India was in trouble at 94/4. After that, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer rebuilt the innings and combined for 50 runs.
India finished Day 1 of yesterday with 19/0. As Bangladesh was knocked out for just 227 runs, Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav shone. For just 14 runs, the hosts lost their final 5 wickets. The lone bright spot was Mominul Haque, who scored 84.
