The first match of the exciting two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is being played in Chattogram from 14 December. India set Bangladesh a target of 513 runs on the third day of the match. The hosts were, earlier, bowled out for just 150 runs in the first innings. However, in the second innings, Bangladesh have shown some really good batting performance.
It was the opening pair of the team that thrashed the Indian bowlers fiercely. A century partnership has also been established between Najmul Hussain Shanto and Zakir Hasan. However, during this time, Indian team’s fast bowler Mohammed Siraj tried to sledge Nazmul Shanto, repeatedly, to which, the latter reacted very differently.

At the same time, Siraj was making extra efforts to give India the first success in the second innings. It is noteworthy that even after this, Najmul Hussain remained calm and was seen smiling. The video of his reaction is becoming fiercely viral on social media.
India put up a huge target for Bangladesh:
Mohammad Siraj, the fast bowler of the Indian Cricket Team, remains in the discussion due to his fiery bowling against Bangladesh. He created a furor by taking 3 wickets while bowling tremendously in the first innings.
The visitors wrapped up the Bangladesh innings within an hour to take a massive lead of 254 runs. Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Ebadot Hossain to pick his third career five-wicket haul in what is his first Test appearance in 22 months. Axar Patel then picked the final wicket as India folded Bangladesh for just 150 runs.
India didn’t enforce the follow-on and came back to bat again. Gill departed after playing a magnificent knock of 110 runs. On the other hand, Cheteshwar Pujara also smashed a half-century as India crossed the 200-run mark against Bangladesh on the third day of the ongoing first Test match at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram.
