see they proved u wrong. So never say never. They played still stumps with still 6 wkts down.

I had this expectation, isiliye to bola tha.

Saying that, BD can't be completely ruled out, they still are a challenge

Not even surprised

Typical Indian batsman not performing in Tests.

Rather batsman and tailenders scoring the runs.

In last few years it has always been our bowlers who has been performing with both bat and ball and our batsman are just cracking jokes on field.

Jadeja and Ashwin saved the day for India.

With some contributions from Yashasvi and Pant.

As I stated earlier, bowlers saved us from a disastrous start. The first day belongs to Aswin and Jadeja as batters. 339/6 is a commendable score, and our bowlers are deadly against their average batters. Their strength was bowling, with that, they destroyed the top order, but the duo saved us from further hiccups.

Now, in a way, we are in a dominant position!

Jaiswal scored 56 today

Jaiswal need 76 more in next 3 innings to beat Rahane's World Test championship Aggregates of runs record

💋Yashasvi Jaiswal enters this series with 1,028 runs in the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle.

If he scores 76 runs in next 3 innings against Bangladesh he will surpass Ajinkya Rahane’s tally of 1,159 runs from the WTC 2019-21 cycle, making him the Indian batter with the most runs in a single WTC cycle.

Jaiswal will join an elite group, alongside Rahane and Rohit Sharma, as one of only three Indian batters to have scored 1,000 runs in a single WTC cycle.

Over all record hold by joe root, i guess

Ashwin: Always a special feeling to play in front of the home crowd. This is a ground I completely love to play cricket in. It's given me a lot of wonderful memories. The last time I got a hundred, you were the coach Ravi bhai (Ravi Shastri). It does feel special. It helps that I have come back at the back of a T20 tournament (TNPL), worked quite a bit on my batting. Of course, I have always been wafting my bat around outside off-stump. Worked on a few things and on a surface like this with a bit of spice, if you're going after the ball, might as well go after it really hard like Rishabh does. It's an old Chennai surface with a bit of bounce and carry. The red soil pitch allows you to play a few shots if you are willing to just get in line and give it a bit of a tonk when there's width. He (Jadeja) was of real help, there was a point in time where I was really sweating and getting a bit tired, Jaddu noticed it quickly and guided me through that phase. Jaddu has been one of our best batters for our team in the last few years. Him being there, pretty solid and he was also very helpful in terms of telling me that we don't have to convert twos into threes which was really helpful for me. (How will the pitch behave tomorrow?) It's a typical, old-fashioned Chennai pitch where overspin will fetch a bit of bounce. The wicket will start doing its tricks much later in the game. There's enough in it for the quicks, good carry, good bounce if we present the seam nice and hard. The new ball will do a bit, there'll be some help for the bowlers, we'll have to start afresh tomorrow. There's a bit in the pitch, it's still damp underneath, so hopefully as it dries out, it quickens up.
