The ongoing first Test between India and Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium saw an action-packed Day 1. Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first, putting India on the back foot early in the innings. India's star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal faced a daunting task as wickets began to tumble around him.

Bangladesh's bowlers, led by pacer Hasan Mahmud, made an immediate impact. Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 6 runs off 19 balls, caught off guard by Mahmud's disciplined bowling. This early breakthrough left India struggling to find their rhythm.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's Counter-Attack

In the seventh over, with the pressure mounting, Jaiswal took the responsibility of stabilizing the innings. Facing Bangladesh's Taskin Ahmed, he exhibited his class and resilience. On the fourth delivery, Taskin pitched the ball outside off-stump, hoping for some swing. 

Jaiswal seized the opportunity, striding forward and driving the 138.7 kmph delivery beautifully through mid-off for a boundary. The crowd erupted in applause, sensing the beginning of a fightback.

Two balls later, Jaiswal once again showcased his skill. Taskin switched to a round-the-wicket approach, delivering a 138 kmph half-volley on the stumps. Jaiswal, undeterred, played an elegant on-drive through mid-on, adding another four to his tally. His aggressive yet composed approach began to shift the momentum in India’s favour.


Hasan Mahmud's Magical Spell Haunts India

While Jaiswal held one end, Mahmud continued his impressive spell from the other. He struck again, this time dismissing the promising Shubman Gill for a duck. The situation turned even more precarious for India when Virat Kohli, returning to Test cricket after an 8-month hiatus, fell to Mahmud for just 6 runs. 

Attempting an expansive drive early in his innings, Kohli edged the ball to Litton Das, leaving India at a precarious 54 for 3 in just 15 overs.

As Day 1 progresses, all eyes are on Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant, who are currently at the crease. Their partnership will be crucial in steering India out of troubled waters.
