India were all out for 376 on day two of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai, with Ravichandran Ashwin scoring 113 and Ravindra Jadeja adding 86. Bangladesh’s Hasan Mahmud was the standout bowler, taking 5-83. The match saw early wickets fall due to good pace bowling conditions, but the pitch began to flatten out, allowing Ashwin and Jadeja to build a strong partnership. Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar criticized KL Rahul's performance on day one, citing a lack of intent. Bangladesh’s decision to field first after winning the toss was a rare strategy at Chepauk, last seen in 1982.
