Ravichandran Ashwin scored the sixth century of his career, Jadeja close to century
The Indian team was struggling at one point after losing 6 wickets for 144 runs, after which Ashwin and Jadeja took charge and gave a tough time to the Bangladeshi bowlers. Ashwin scored a century in 108 balls, which is the fastest and sixth century of his Test career, and also the sixth century of his career.

Bangladesh chose to bowl, India had a bad start
Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first on a green and fast bowler friendly pitch. Bangladesh also benefited from this when Hasan Mahmud sent captain Rohit Sharma (06), Shubman Gill (00) and Virat Kohli (06) to the pavilion for just 34 runs, putting the host team in trouble.
After this, Pant, who came to bat at number 5 before KL, handled the Indian innings along with Jaiswal, although Shadman dropped his catch just before lunch, otherwise India's problems could have increased further. On the other hand, Jaiswal remained alert and kept the bad ball away.
Pant and Jaiswal played cautiously and tried to handle India's situation by making a partnership of 62 runs for the fourth wicket. However, Pant became the fourth victim of Hasan Mahmud at a total score of 96. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was playing cautiously from one side, completed his half-century. After completing his half-century, Jaiswal became the victim of Nahid Rana at a total score of 144. Jaiswal scored 56 runs. At the same score, KL Rahul was also out on the ball of Hasan Miraz after scoring 16 runs.
From here Ashwin and Jadeja did not allow any further loss and put India in a good position by making a partnership of 195 runs. For Bangladesh, Hasan Mahmud took 4 wickets, Mehdi Hasan Miraz and Nahid Rana took 1-1 wickets.
