On the first day of the first Test in Chennai, India found themselves struggling at 176 for 6 at tea, largely due to the outstanding bowling performance from Bangladesh's Hasan Mahmud, who took four wickets including those of prominent batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the standout performer for India, scoring 56 runs, while Rishabh Pant contributed 39 runs before being dismissed by Mahmud. Despite a promising partnership between Jaiswal and Pant, the Indian top order collapsed, with Mahmud's early wickets putting the hosts under pressure. At the break, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were at the crease, attempting to stabilize the innings. Bangladesh, fresh from a 2-0 series win in Pakistan, is seeking its first Test victory against India. The second Test is scheduled to start on September 27 in Kanpur.
