India vs Bangladesh’s first test is coming into the hands of India. Though Shreyas Iyer fell early on Day 2, spinners Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav started to play in their own style. The duo took their own time and started nudging the ball around. They took their chances and stitched a near 100-run partnership. Ashwin completed a half-century in the process. Kuldeep scored a crucial 40 runs. Finally, India were bowled out for 404 runs which is more than handy.
In reply, Bangladesh had many problems to address. They started their innings with a wicket. Siraj took Shanto on the very first ball. He accounted for the other opener Zakir Hasan as well. The top 4 wickets were taken by the pacers. The introduction of Kuldeep Yadav titled the match completely in India’s favor. He picked up 4 wickets in six overs. As a result, Bangladesh scored 133 runs with a loss of 8 wickets. Bangladesh needs to cross 205 runs to avoid the follow-on.
