Hasan Mahmud Claims Four Wickets in India Test

Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud made history by becoming the first visiting fast bowler since Dale Steyn in 2006 to take four wickets on the opening day of a Test match in India. In his fourth Test, Mahmud dismissed key Indian batsmen including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant, finishing with figures of 4 for 58. His impressive performance helped reduce India to a precarious 144 for 6 before Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja stabilized the innings, ending the day at 339 for 6. Mahmud, who has been highly praised by former coaches Allan Donald and Ottis Gibson, expressed joy in claiming the wickets of some of the best batsmen. Meanwhile, Ashwin reached a significant milestone, becoming the first player ever to achieve 20 scores of 50+ runs and over 30 five-wicket hauls in Test cricket. The match continues with both teams having pivotal contributions from their bowlers and batsmen.
