BAN vs IND: Day 1 of the second Test match in Mirpur was bowled out by India’s strong third session, which limited Bangladesh to just 227 runs (December 22). At the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Bangladesh decided to bat first after winning the toss and balanced the first two sessions with 184/5 in 57 runs before the tea break, with Mominul Haque scoring the highest total of 84 runs off 157 balls.
However, Indian bowlers produced strong performances to limit the opponents to just 227 runs, with seasoned pacer Umesh Yadav grabbing four wickets for 25 from his 15 overs. After Tea, he took Shakib Al Hasan’s crucial wicket and three more.

With just two wickets in two innings during the first Test match at Chattogram, Umesh struggled, but he was able to make a strong impression in the second match with some support from the pitch. After the game, Umesh stated to reporters that Indian bowlers were attempting to invert the bowl and bowling wicket to wicket.
“The pacers are off to a good start. Some balls are seaming, while others are kicking off. I only tried to aim where I should. We anticipated a turn when Ashwin started. The rate, however, is insufficient for the spinners to turn, thus it didn’t. The ground is squishy due to the dry grass. We bowled wicket to wicket while attempting to reverse. I’m glad to have it, “said Umesh.
Along with Umesh, Ashwin had a significant effect with four wickets and a 3.25 economy rate. In the Chattogram Test, Ashwin again had trouble, taking just one wicket in two innings, while Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel had strong outings. Left-arm bowler Jaydev Unadkat, who was playing Test cricket for the first time in 12 years, also claimed two wickets on Day 1, while Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel were unsuccessful. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, the Indian openers, persevered to score 19 runs from eight overs before umpires called Day 1’s play to a close early owing to poor lighting.
