India vs Bangladesh 1st Test Day 1 Live Score: Shubman Gill and KL Rahul added 41 runs for the opening wicket after India won the toss and opted to bat.

India have played only a handful of Tests this year and the outcome has not been an ideal one. Rohit Sharma, who was initially part of the series, was sent back to India after he injured his thumb. Taijul Islam bowls it quick in the air, as Pujara bends and plays the ball with soft hands. He was seen doing the same in the opening session. He then craftily guides a back of a length ball for a boundary towards the third man region. India will look to add at least 100-125 runs in the remaining time, and hope they don't lose too many wickets in the process. Ebadot Hossain pitches it up and wide and Shreyas Iyer drives it towards the cover for a boundary. He plays a pitched up delivery in the gap on the onside, which results in four. Shreyas Iyer charges down the track against Mehidy Hasan and goes for the aerial route. Now Pujara gets innovative as he shuffles in the crease and plays a late sweep behind the wicketkeeper for a boundary against Mehidy. He cuts it in the gap between the fielders as the shots races to the fence. Catch Highlights of India vs Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) 1st Test Day 1.

Ebadot strayed on the pads in the first over and KL Rahul flicked it to the fine leg fence for his first boundary of the match. The second slip moves to leg gully for Khaled, who goes full and wide of off first ball, only for Rahul to slash it wide of gully for four.

Bangladesh reduced their opponents to 48/3 in the opening session of the Test, but fifties from Pujara, Iyer and Ashwin bailed them out of trouble to post a total in excess of 400. Shakib went after the Indian bowlers and hit a flurry of boundaries but he was eventually castled by Kuldeep Yadav for 84. The action is the same, just trying to be aggressive in the rhythm (about working on his bowling). The way we bowled in the first innings really set the game up. From the position we were in to get to 400+ was a job well done by the batters. There was some pace in the first innings, but the second innings was very challenging. Very pleased with the way we bowled in both the innings. PoTM: To be very honest I am happy with the performance, both with bat and ball. The way their openers batted, made it harder for us and we knew that we had to work hard for our wickets. It was important that we turned up and performed well in the Test series. It was a slow pitch, not much in the wicket for batters to get runs easily. With this win, India climb to the third spot on the WTC point table.

Bangladesh reduced the visitors to 48 for 3 by getting Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli in the morning session.

Against Siraj, he opened up his stance and used the pull and flat-bat shots to keep going. He either skipped down the track against Axar or used the slog sweep to pick up the boundaries.

In case of Kohli, he tossed it up and bowled a fuller length as the batter went on the back-foot. The ball turned enough to hit him on the back-pad.

At the same time, knowing how the pitch is and the position of the team, he adjusted his game accordingly. You have to concentrate more and whenever there is a loose ball, you have to punish it. “Looking at the pitch, we have a decent total on board, but if we were four or five down, it could have been better. Brought up playing cricket on the dust bowls of Rajkot, Pujara is easily one of the best players of spin in the world. And they adopted contrasting styles to keep India in the game after the early loss of wickets. And even if the spinner succeeds in keeping him tied to the crease, Pujara has a strong defence to fall back on, where the front foot would be used to smother the turn and the soft hands will dead-bat the ball leaving no chance for close-in fielders even if they crouch, or end up being on their knees in some cases. “You have got to play the line, keep playing in front of the pad, and if the ball turns, then get beaten. The two are easily the best players of spin in the team. Two weeks is a good time to get used to the conditions, one could argue. you have got to play the line rather than the spin or the angle,” Sriram said. And of course, there was enough turn on offer, especially for left-arm spinners to give it a proper rip. Teams that tour the country don’t really get a chance to play practice fixtures.

The keeper-batter also clobbered Miraz over deep midwicket for a maximum but the spinner had the last laugh as he cleaned him up next ball in the 32nd over. In case of Kohli, he tossed it up and bowled a fuller length as the batter went on the back-foot. But overall, the batting performance left a lot to be desired. If Kohli ended up being plumb in front on the back-foot, Pujara presented a dead defence on the front-foot and saw the ball beat the outside edge of his bat to hit the off-stick. He bowled a couple of classical left-arm spinner's deliveries to get rid of Kohli in the first hour and Pujara in the final half hour to negate the advantage that India had gained after the fall of three wickets. Honours were shared on the opening day with Islam emerging as the hero for Bangladesh and showing he has the potential to come out of the shadows of his more illustrious skipper Shakib Al Hasan.

Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer played pivotal roles in India’s recovering on Day one of the first Test against Bangladesh. Notably, Pujara last scored a Test century for India in January 2019, when he amassed 193 against Australia in Sydney. In every session, the demands would be different but one thing is sure that you are going to see a lot of aggressive cricket from our side,” India stand-in skipper KL Rahul had said recently, ahead of the match. Facing Taijul Islam in the 20th over, Kohli was trapped LBW plumb in front of middle stump. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. They may have just four wickets in hand, but India will look to get past the 300-run mark in the first session on Day 2 to make it tough for Bangladesh in their first-innings reply, while Shreyas Iyer searches for what will be just his second Test century. Ban would be hoping to bowl Ind out below 350. Ind would want 400+. Cheteshwar Pujara has been in the nervous nineties phase before, and on Wednesday, he was victim of yet another dismissal in the 90s. [endured a tough start on Day 1](https://www.firstpost.com/firstcricket/sports-news/india-vs-bangladesh-cheteshwar-pujara-shreyas-iyer-lead-visitors-fightback-on-day-1-of-chattogram-test-11808041.html) of the first Test against hosts Bangladesh in Chattogram on Wednesday, but knocks from Cheteshwar Pujara (90) and Shreyas Iyer (82 not out) helped the visitors fight back. Both teams had their moments on the opening day, but the century-stand between Shreyas Iyer and Cheteshwar Pujara leaves the match evenly poised with four days remaining. At the end of the opening day of the Test series, India posted 278/6 on the board, having just lost Axar Patel for 14 on the final delivery of the day.

India batter Shreyas Iyer had luck in his favour on the opening day as the batter stayed alive despite getting bowled against Bangladesh.

Later, Pant played a counter-attacking knock of 46 off 45 balls and shared a vital 63-run stand with Pujara for the fourth wicket to revive his side. India were off to a disastrous start as they lost three big wickets in the morning session. Pujara (90) and Axar Patel (14) were the two wickets which Team India lost at the stroke of stumps.

This was to the relief of the Indian duo of Shreyas and Pujara, who were batting at that time, but Bangladesh players on the other hand were left stunned. Mehidy Hasan Miraz struck in the very last ball before stumps, removing Axar Patel for 14. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. Shreyas Iyer is a part of the Indian team that is touring Bangladesh currently. Pacer Ebadot Hossain was bowling the 84th over of the Indian innings, and the incident happened in the fifth ball of that over.

That was followed by another productive stand for Pujara, a 149-run partnership with the still unbeaten Shreyas Iyer (82 not out), before the former was dismissed by Taijul Islam in the 85th over. And to Iyer’s surprise, it was precisely the bail that failed to fall down when Ebadot had rattled the stumps. Shreyas Iyer misread the line completely, and Ebadot unleashed a peach of a delivery that clipped the stumps, and stump lights flashed, but to everyone’s surprise, the bails remained intact, and did not come off. In fact, the bail was replaced just three balls before the delivery of the “wicket”, after the earlier one had failed to light up. [opening day of the first Test](https://www.firstpost.com/firstcricket/sports-news/india-vs-bangladesh-1st-test-day-1-top-moments-pujara-shreyas-kohli-11808861.html) between Bangladesh and India in Chattogram on Wednesday saw a bizarre incident, with Shreyas Iyer having survived a clean bowled dismissal by a close margin.

Cheteshwar Pujara produced a masterclass knock against Bangladesh on the first day of the opening match as he scored 90 runs off 203 deliveries.

Pujara then went on to state what he believes was a good score on this wicket by adding, "If we would have ended the day at 4 or even 5 wickets, things would have been better. "Looks like there will be a result and we needed runs on the board. My partnership with Shreyas was important and also with Rishabh as there was a time when we had lost three wickets," added the 35-year-old. The 34-year-old said he was content with his performance as it was not an easy pitch to bat on. The 34-year-old along with Shreyas Iyer (82) added 149 runs for the fifth wicket, with India ending the day on 278 runs for the loss of six wickets. This knock by Cheteshwar Pujara confirms that He will play his 100th Test match in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The worry for batters will be the odd ball that is turning sharply. The biggest challenge as the pitch wears on will be the variable bounce. Pujara hasn’t scored a century for nearly four years but in recent times, this is probably the most assured he has looked against any bowling attack. It will keep getting worse as time progresses,” Pujara said providing his take on the track.
