India vs Bangladesh Chepauk Test: After a strong start, Najmul Hossain Shanto’s side pay the price for poor batting in first innings | Cricket News
Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto’s dismissal in the second innings summarised Bangladesh’s struggles at Chepauk. Since coming in at No 3 in the final session on Day 3, Shanto had managed to not just resist India’s charge, but also show Bangladesh batsmen a better way to score against the hosts. A sixth Test century, a well-deserved one albeit in a losing cause, was there for the taking. But with still three wickets in hand, having made 82, he committed hara-kiri by choosing to hit Ravindra Jadeja out of the rough patches. Bangladesh had landed in India on the back of a historic Test series win in Pakistan. But to even compete in India, they had to show the awareness to stay in the game at all points. Prior to the Test, as Sridharan Sriram and Wasim Jaffer had told The Indian Express, getting used to the SG ball would be Bangladesh’s biggest challenge. And over the four days in Chennai, they demonstrated their struggles, especially after landing three powerful blows in the first session on Day …
Cerebral and patient: How R Ashwin baited Mushfiqur Rahim, Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque on a pitch with no help for spinners | Cricket News
At 1 pm even as several hundreds of fans were making a delayed entry into the MA Chidambaram Stadium after spending long hours in queues to pick daily tickets, India sprung a surprise with the timing of their declaration. With a lead of 514, they definitely had enough on board when Rohit Sharma called back Shubman Gill and KL Rahul at 287/4 in the second innings. Few had expected India to declare then as the pitch hadn’t shown any signs of listening to their bowlers. Maybe, India believed even if they delayed it by an hour or so, it wasn’t going to make much of a difference. Maybe, they wanted to have a go at the Bangladesh batsmen after tiring them out on the field. In the first innings, on what was the best day for batting, Indian bowlers had overcome extreme heat conditions to take control. But for them to close out the match now, they needed to toil hard. It wasn’t going to come easy on this pitch, which hasn’t undergone as much …
Why Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill’s hundreds against Bangladesh are so valuable for India in the bigger picture | Cricket News
It was a tale of two centuries that was much more than the runs made and the occasion. These were hundreds that were full of such promise and assurance that it would have made captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Gautam Gambhir and selectors’ optimism grow ahead of what is going to be a challenging Test season. Having already taken control of the Test, Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 119 and Rishabh Pant’s characteristic 109 put Bangladesh into submission as India inched closer to taking a series lead at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on a gloomy Saturday. Having come together as a batting pair for the first time in their careers at the end of Day 2, Gill and Pant – who had led India at Under-19 levels – had the whole of Day Three to assert their spot. Not that their place in the squad was in question, but there were a few concerns waiting to be addressed. Gill has to show he is the ideal one for No 3, Pant needs to show his game hasn’t …
India vs Bangladesh: Rohit, Gill and Kohli perish early on Day 1 in Chennai Test as Mahmud snaps three | Cricket News
Bangladesh dealt early blows to India in the first Test on Thursday in Chennai as the visitors claimed three wickets in the first session. 24-year-old pace sensation Hasan Mahmud produced a fine opening spell as he snapped Indian captain Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0), and Virat Kohli (6) in the first session. Having won the toss, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto opted to bowl first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This, on a Chepauk wicket with assistance to the seamers owing to an uncharacteristic grass cover. It was a decision that paid merits as early as the sixth over. A good length delivery around the off stump slightly seamed away and induced a nick off Rohit Sharma that was caught behind by Shanto at second slip. It wasn’t too later that Shubman Gill, yet to open his account after seven deliveries, tried to flick a full delivery down the leg side, only to be pouched by Litton Das. Virat Kohli was unable to stay in the middle for long either. While playing a length …
India is a batting-obsessed nation but Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja changing trend: Gautam Gambhir | Cricket News
India coach Gautam Gambhir praised the trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin for changing the trend that India is a batting obsessed country. Speaking ahead of India’s first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai, Gambhir said, “India is a batting obsessed nation. But Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja are changing that. Bumrah is smart in Test cricket. It is good these guys are changing the trend.” “Bumrah is the best fast bowler in the world now who can make a difference at any stage of the game,” he added. He also expressed confidence the batting unit, saying that it can take on any spin unit in the world despite the team’s struggles in the last ODI series against Sri Lanka where the Lankan spinners took the lion’s share of the wickets, handing India a 2-0 loss. “Our batting unit has so much quality that it can take on any spin unit. There is a lot of difference between ODIs and Tests,” he said. Meanwhile, littered largely with lopsided contests, India’s hopes of walking down …
