IND vs BAN, 1st Test Day 3: Pant-Gill brilliance puts India on the verge of win​


A special partnership from Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill ensured India are close to taking a 1-0 lead in the Test series with a win in Chennai. Pant and Gill scored hundreds as Bangladesh were given a target of 515 runs to chase after India scored 287 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in the second innings and declared. Gill remained unbeaten on 119 and Pant scored 109 as India remained on top of proceedings in Chennai heading into Day 4.

Bangladesh, in response, scored 158 runs for the loss of 4 wickets as skipper Najimul Shanto led the charge with a fine fifty. Shadman Islam (35) and Zakir Hasan (33) gave Bangladesh the perfect start in terms of the run chase with a 62-run opening stand. It took a special catch from Yashasvi Jaiswal to end the stay of Zakir at the crease. R Ashwin, who went wicketless in the first innings, would then leave Bangladesh in a precarious position by getting 3.

While Ashwin did get a bit of a stick, Ashwin dismissed Shadman, Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim, leaving Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan with a big job ahead of them. The game came to an end due to bad light as Bangladesh had 158 for 4 on the board, needing 357 runs to win.

A vintage Pant and Gill 2nd innings special​


After the first innings, Pant and Gill were two players with a point to prove. The wicketkeeper had looked set for a good score when he was batting on 39 before giving away his wicket. Gill, on the other hand, was dismissed for an 8-ball duck and seemed to have got his rhythm back on Day 2 with the bat. Both men came in to Day 3 with the score at 81 for 3 and a lead of 308 runs.

The objective for both men was simple. Get as many runs as possible on the board for the team at a quick rate but ensuring there were no hiccups along the way. Both men showed just that as they hit entertaining hundreds on the day. The duo put on a 167-run stand as they put the Bangladesh bowlers to the sword.

Gill and Pant were cautious at the beginning, but they ensured the strike was being rotated well. Gill was the first to show the first signs of aggression when he hit Mehidy for 2 sixes to get to his 50. Pant produced his signature one-handed six but got to his 50 in 88 balls. This was his 3rd slowest half-century in Tests.

But both men would then change gears and started to be more expansive with their shots. While Pant was being the more aggressive of the duo, Gill was calmness and elegance personified with his stroke play. Both men gave away very few chances of giving away their wickets, albeit Pant getting lucky reprieve in the form of a dropped catch by Najimul Shanto.

Gill and Pant used it to their advantage and got to brilliant hundreds to show that the future of Indian cricket is in good hands.

Match is finished. India won. Bangladesh batsmen need to understand while the game is gone you can still get some gains for yourself, stay at the crease bat as long, try to get a ton, add to your stat in doing so you build up some self confidence going into the next test match.

There is a bit of rain expected. Bangladesh shouldn't be playing recklessly just because field is up. They lost a lot of wickets with a nothing to lose approach. Imagine them getting a rain after they get all out

Bd batters dont have the braincells to understand that. One more session they all be out. Shakib already trying hard to get out reverse sweeping. They are in hurry to end the match and relax for a day or two, enjoy some shopping for saris for their partners.
 
While speaking on an Indian media outlet, Tamim Iqbal lauded Shubman Gill:

"I think this is a calmness towards him. Even after reaching the hundred. Whatever balls he faced, there was always a calmness towards him. And I think he played some excellent shots. Played up a lovely, lovely innings. Yes, they are talking about Rishabh Pant, the sixes and the fours. But how well has Gill batted? I cannot forget the pull shot that he played yesterday. It is unbelievable. And the drives and the calmness. The best part was the whole calmness. It seems to me I do not know him personally, but he seems to be a very calm man."
 

Impressed After Century, Bangladesh Star Makes Bold Prediction For Rishabh Pant​


Former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal predicted on Saturday that Rishabh Pant will have the most hundreds as a wicketkeeper. In the first Test match between India and Bangladesh, Pant played a 109-run knock from 128 balls at a strike rate of 85.16 in the second innings. The India wicketkeeper-batter slammed 13 fours and 4 sixes during his time on the crease. "I can assure you he will have the most hundreds as a wicketkeeper," Iqbal said to the broadcaster during the post-tea show.

Meanwhile, former India cricketer Parthiv Patel said that Pant will hit more than 20 Test centuries.

"I can see him scoring more than 20 hundreds," Parthiv said.

At the end of day three, Bangladesh were 158/4, with skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (51*) and Shakib Al Hasan (5*) unbeaten. Bangladesh started the post-Tea session at 56/0 with Shadman Islam (21) and Zakir Hasan (32) unbeaten on the crease.

Jasprit Bumrah struck early for India in the session, removing Zakir for 33 (47 balls). The rest three wickets were picked by Ravichandran Ashwin as he dismissed Shadman Islam (35), Mominul Haque (13), and Mushfiqur Rahim (13).

The second session of Day three of the Chennai Test resumed with India at 205/3 with Rishabh Pant (82*) and Shubman Gill (86*) unbeaten on the crease. India now have a lead of 432 runs.

Pant went on to score a century on his comeback innings in the longest format of the game. On the other hand, Gill played an unbeaten knock of 119 runs from 176 balls, which was laced with 10 boundaries and four maximums.

Middle-order batter KL Rahul also played a valuable knock of unbeaten 22 runs in 19 balls, which included four boundaries.

India declared their innings when the team score was 287 runs for the loss of four wickets. They set a target of 515 runs for the visitors in order to win the first match of the series.

'Our Batters Were Tested Early...Can Still Score': Bangladesh Batting Coach David Hemp on Gameplan For Day 4​


Bangladesh batting coach David Hemp on Saturday asserted that his side’s batters certainly did better in their second innings than the first but warned them of the challenges ahead against a quality Indian bowling attack in the first Test here.

India have put themselves in a prime position to win the first Test with Rishabh Pant (109) and Shubman Gill (119 not out) hitting magnificent hundreds on the third day. The hosts set Bangladesh an improbable target of 515 runs to win the Test.

Bangladesh showed some spunk in their second innings to reach 158 for four when play was called off early due to bad light. They still need a whopping 357 runs for the result to be in their favour.

“The difference with the second (innings) is we got people that got in, so they faced balls. It’s all about scoring runs, and you’re looking to score, so that hasn’t changed,” Hemp said during the post-day press conference.

“We got tested or players got tested early on in their innings around the stumps more, and that was a big difference. Obviously, we’re playing against India, who possess some quality bowling, a very confident side, especially playing at home. So, you’re going to be challenged.”

The third day saw fine batting conditions, with less heat and the pitch still looking good.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was batting on 51 not out off 60 balls and giving him company was star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan (5 not out) at stumps on Day 3.

Hemp somewhat regretted that his batters failed to get going in the first innings on Friday.

“Obviously, we were in a really good position against India in the first innings, but building on that was unfortunate. I certainly believe the skill level within our group was good enough to deal with a certain number of balls.

“I think the difference between the first and the second innings was obviously ball space. So, I think the Indian bowlers certainly challenged the stumps really well in the first innings, and they knocked people over.

“So, when we sit back and look at it, review the game whenever that ends, that certainly would be a discussion point in terms of how can we improve our performance because that’s what we want to do.”

In terms of bowling, their star spinner Shakib Al Hasan has curiously failed to get any wickets in this Test. Hemp, however, brushed aside any speculation that the 37-year-old Shakib might be suffering from a finger injury.

“No, not aware of that at all, sorry,” he said.

Hemp said that the Cheapuk track is still a “reasonable” one to bat, and expects his batters to put on a show on Sunday.

“In terms of days to bat, it’s still a good wicket. Today, we’ve seen that (Ravichandran) Ashwin obviously got a couple of balls to bounce quite significantly.

“But, if you still miss, you can still score. So for us tomorrow, it’s still a reasonable surface,” he signed off.

Reverse sweep against bowlers like Ashwin or Jadeja is total madness, idiotic act. I won't mind if any of our batsman try this shot against bowling of Shakib .

Shakib does not have the batting style nor strong quick arm to play reverse sweep. Its like he is trying to rectify his mistake of 1st inning in the 2nd innings by playing the reverse sweep again and again. Madness! Such stubbornness from the batter we got, coming from experienced players.
 
Bangaldesh is much better than nz in Asia. If india win this series easy then they will wipe out nz too with relative ease.

India would only need one game to win in bgt then.

But I am sure we will try to win every game.

New Zealand's batting is much stronger than Bangladesh, there is no comparison.

Yes NZ has better batting than Bangladesh . NZ series will be hard fought test series although india is favourite
 
Bangladesh has done well, if they somehow get to 300 that will be a good sign.

They just need to eliminate Shanto, Shadman and bring in two better players, Hridoy can be one.
 
Bangladesh is lucky that there is not much sun baking the pitch. Typical chennai weather would have made it more crumbly and pitch will be way more difficult to bat on
 
A below 30 averaging specialist batsman should never be the captain of any team, he doesn't deserve that.

Mitchell yea and Latham.rest no. Williamson never performed vs full strength sided away from home.
Ravindra will find it hard.

Conway is old now.

Bdesh can beat nz in their home.

Nz haven't won in aeons vs india in india. Not a single test. If india are close to full strength I see 3 0 india again

Williamson isn't great in India but he is easily better than all Bangladesh batsman, so there is no comparison.

Similarly, Rachin has already helped Nz draw one test in India and is one of the best young talent in the world.

Conway again is better than any Bangladesh batsman.

As I said, there is no comparison.
 
9 wickets down. What a champion bowler ash is.

A legend. Greater legend than Anderson etc.

Top 5 spinners of all time.

And they compared him to loldeep lmao.
 
Seventh five-fer for Ashwin in fourth innings of Tests - joint second most alongside Warne & Muralidaran and only behind Rangana Herath's 12.

Maybe so but I don't see anything other than a 2 0 or 3 0 loss vs full strength india

You mean that fluke draw which was called off for bad light and we weren't allowed to bowl pace? Lost 9 wickets barely clinged on for dear life. Flukiest draw of all time.

How many spinners are really ahead of ash in terms of ability? I see only 3.
 
234 all out. India win by 280 runs.

This is almost an innings win if India enforce the follow on so no improvement from last test series in india .
 
Bumrah, Ashwin, Jadeja and Pant are among the best fast bowlers, spinners, all rounders and wicket keepers of this era.
 
Good win for India.

Special mention about the pitch. Excellent pitch. Helping fast bowlers the first 2.5-3 days and then the spinners. At the same time, batting also possible if the batsmen were willing to spend time and pick the right deliveries.

How about comparison thread about Wasim waqar era of pakistan vs Ashwin jadeja era of India ??
 
I was expecting better than this performance. India has dominated us totally apart from the first two sessions of the first day. Bangladesh needs to do a very big thinking about their play before the 2nd test. See you all then.
 
Good/convincing win for us in the end on a somewhat atypical Chennai wicket.

Quite a few concerns on our batting department (both our top and middle order looks extremely fragile) persists though.

Also kinda enjoyed watching BD's pace bowling, tested our batsmen for most part of the game.

Hope kanpur produces a sporting wicket (don't recall anything other than sluggish pitches served by them in the past) as well.

Commiserations to good folks from BD (@Dhakar Pola and gang) and congrats to my fellow Indian PPers👍🏻

Some of them lack experience. Some of them are past by sell date. So it will take a while.

280 run thrashing despite declaring at 4 down. To be fair to BD, playing a Ranji side or two would've been better practice than playing PAK in PAK. The jump in quality and talent is ridiculously steep.

Could not agree more.

A match or two against even a depleted ranji side of Karnataka or Tamil Nadu would have given them a much better preparation.
 
Totally lackluster performance after the first 2 sessions on day 1. Gap between the two teams was well known and now showed on the field. Ashwin doesn't get as much credit as an Allrounder but he is one of the best there is

I think if we had a 4 day match in Chennai before the series performance might have been a little better.
 
Commiserations to certain Bangladesh posters, especially @Dhakar Pola & co, congrats to indian fans.

good victory - came a lot easier if you compared situation on the first day, enjoyed the bangla pace bowling on show and a great future awaits their pace attack.

I sincerely hope this wicket is replicated in our domestic scene, this was as close to being an Aussie wicket if any.
If our young kids play on such wickets, we will breed good pace men, will build skills for ur batsment to play pace and also breed good slipsmen and gully as well as close in catchers.
 
India's Dominant Home Win Extends Unbeaten Streak

India started their Test season with a resounding victory against Bangladesh in Chennai, securing a 280-run win within three days. This emphatic triumph was fueled by exceptional performances from R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant, propelling India to a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

Ashwin's all-round heroics were a highlight, as he achieved his fourth Test century and five-wicket haul in the same match. His partnership with Jadeja, who narrowly missed a century, rescued India in the first innings after a shaky start. The spin duo then combined to dismantle Bangladesh's batting lineup, with Ashwin claiming his 37th five-for.

This victory further cemented India's dominance in home Tests, extending their unbeaten run since 2012 to an impressive 4302 days. India also surpassed their number of Test losses with this win, marking a significant milestone.

Despite a spirited challenge from Bangladesh, India showcased their prowess. After a challenging first day where they faced early setbacks, Ashwin and Jadeja's crucial partnership helped them recover. The second innings saw Pant and Gill deliver exceptional performances, with Pant equaling MS Dhoni's record for most Test centuries by an Indian wicket-keeper. Gill's century further solidified his position as India's No. 3 batsman.

Bangladesh, despite a promising start in their chase of a mammoth 515, ultimately succumbed to India's spin attack, particularly Ashwin's devastating spell after the drinks break.

With a commanding lead in the series, India will aim for a clean sweep when they face Bangladesh in the second Test in Nagpur on September 27th.
 
Great win by India! But that was to be expected.

That said, I like the fight Bangaldesh showed. They seemed to be cruising at certain points of time. Unfortunate that Shanto could not get his ton. It would have been rather special for him.

Looking forward to the Kanpur test. Odds heavily in favor of India there but I hope BD puts up a good fight.

And finally Bangladeshi fans are back to the earth too after flying in mars for few days just bcoz they beat Pakistan. They thought their team has turned a corner...LOL. It always takes India to knock some sense to their delusional neighbours, let it be cricket or otherwise.

BTW, how did Pakistan got whitewashed against this team and that too at home?

No BD fan was in mars or Jupiter. No sane public in BD thought we can beat India, we were hoping to caught India off guard. if you just go by social media India itself has many trolls right?

I always say to my friends that India has 1.3 billion people, even 10% trolls in social media that 130 million people, thats 90% of our population. same goes for BD as well, out of 170million in 10% trolls thats 170K people.

Bangladesh has a small percentage of trolls and shouldn't be judged on trolls. Your team played well in patches but India in India is a difficult beast for any side. That Ashwin Jadeja partnership killed the game on day 1.


India has around 70% trolls by the way. .

"That too at home" doesn't apply for teams like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, WI and even Bangladesh. They have no real home advantage as they don't have any particular strengths or any strength at all. Wherever they play, it's a "sporting wicket" for them that's why I really love watching them play.
