IND-BAN Test Series 2024: First Test Day-3, India Holds A Strong Position After Gill-Pant's Centuries

IND-BAN Test Series 2024: India is keeping the Test match at bay. Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill had started cautiously before building up quite nicely, both scoring centuries. Declaring with 2.5 days remaining, Rohit Sharma's India set Bangladesh a stiff task of winning 515 runs!.

Bangladesh Falters After A Solid Start

In Bangladesh's second innings, once their opening pair had amassed a good fifty partnership, things went downhill thereafter when both were sent back in the final session, with Zakir was dismissed by Bumrah for the second time in the match. Ashwin's zero wickets on the board from the first innings seems like yesterday's matter after picking three wickets, including Mominul, bowled clean.

India's catching has been superb throughout this Test, and the pitch is offering plenty of assistance to the spinners. Ashwin has caused a lot of problems with his spin and bounce, but Shanto has played very aggressively against him and struck three sixes against Ashwin on his way to a commendable half-century.

Day-4 Will Decide The Fate Of Bangladesh

With two days remaining, the score stands at 357 runs needed for Bangladesh with 6 wickets in hand. India looks all strong favorites for winning the match tomorrow, but let's see if Bangladesh can bring out a fight. There's also some rain forecasted, so stay tuned and see how the action unfolds!
