🏏 Bangladesh tour of India 2024: 1st Test - BD vs IND - Day 4🏏 - Page 38

nitin: "Early declaration makes no sense if wicket is playing easy. Let the wicket break a bit, making it easier for the bowlers"

Three early wickets fell but their stand has given India a mammoth lead. Since India scored at a good pace, Rohit had the time to declare early. Gill after a first innings duck, cashed in on the 2nd essay scoring his 3rd Test ton in his last 5 games. Pant in his comeback game looked good in both innings and made it count with an 100 against a tired Bangladeshi attack. After being blown away for just 149, Bangladesh need a much better batting effort to save face. Can they do it? Back for the their reply in 5 minutes...

The target of 515 set by India is the second highest by a team in Tests in Asia after being six down for 150 or fewer in the first innings (144/6). \nHighest: 607 by Pakistan from 39/6 vs India in Karachi in 2006 \nPrevious highest by India (home or away): 481 vs SA in Delhi in 2006 (from 139/6)

Seems Bangladeshi cricketers attack Hindi well. Maybe since they watch Hindi/Urdu Tav shows and movies

bangladesh fielding was so terrible today that opponent batter had to interfere and help them

And bowler actually got a fielder there

Rishabh would be kya kya karoon

Batting karoon, keeping karoon, DRS check karoon and ab opponent ki field setting bhi dekhoon

Raj Patel: "With so much time left in the game … Ro should have given some game time to Rahul … don't see the logic in such an early declaration " There is a bit rain in forecast for the next two days, so prolly no point stretching the game and then being anxious

I mean they want to win the match and not give BD the chance to draw it out. Pretty straight forward imho.

It's exciting to see the Bangladesh tour of India for the 1st Test at the iconic M.A. Chidambaram Stadium! Chennai has a rich cricket history, and it’s interesting to note how the venue reflects this legacy, even if Bangladesh's presence hasn’t yet made it onto those walls. While the historical rivalry hasn’t reached the heights of some other matchups, this Test series presents a unique opportunity for Bangladesh. They’ve shown promise with their recent performances and will be keen to prove themselves against a formidable Indian side. Facing India in Chennai, especially with their impressive home record, is undoubtedly a tough challenge. However, as you mentioned, starting as the underdog can be an advantage, allowing the players to dig deep and showcase their true potential. It’ll be fascinating to see how they adapt to the pressures and conditions. Here’s hoping for an exciting series ahead! 🏏

After 5 overs, Bangladesh is at 19 without loss, with Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan both scoring 9 runs. Jasprit Bumrah has bowled well, finishing his 3 overs with figures of 12 runs given. Bangladesh still has a mountain to climb, needing 496 runs to chase down India's formidable total. The current run rate is 3.56, and with plenty of cricket left in the day, every run will be crucial as they aim to stay in the game. It’ll be interesting to see how they approach the innings in the coming overs!
