India vs Bangladesh Live: India 339/6 After 80 Overs, a Dominant Display!
The Indian team has put on a dominant display against Bangladesh in the first innings of the first Test match at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, India has set a formidable target for Bangladesh with a score of 339/6 after 80 overs.
A Strong Start
The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul gave India a solid start. Rohit, in particular, looked in terrific form and played with a lot of confidence. He brought up his 18th Test century in style, reaching the landmark with a boundary. He was eventually dismissed for 112 runs, but his knock laid the foundation for a big Indian total.
KL Rahul and Virat Kohli Shine
Rahul continued his good form, scoring a valuable 76 before being dismissed by Taijul Islam. The partnership between Rahul and Virat Kohli, who joined the former at the crease, saw India take the game away from Bangladesh. Kohli looked in good touch and scored a crucial 73 runs.
Late Order Collapse
After the dismissals of Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant, Bangladesh had some hope. However, India's lower order managed to contribute valuable runs. Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel both scored 30+ runs each, ensuring that India ended the day with a commanding lead.
Bangladesh's Bowling Struggles
Bangladesh's bowlers struggled to contain the Indian batsmen. Taijul Islam, the lone spinner in the attack, was the most successful bowler for the team, taking 2 wickets. The pacers, however, were unable to get a breakthrough, and the lack of a consistent threat from the bowling attack ultimately led to India's dominant display.
What's Next?
Bangladesh will be looking to bounce back in the second innings and try to limit India's lead. However, the challenge will be immense, as they need to contain the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The match is far from over, but India looks the stronger side.
