Live score of the IND vs BAN match, first day of testing, 4: The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team is just 6 wickets away from a hard-fought win against the visitors at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While India are known for their good performance on their home ground, this win perhaps means a little more to the captain after the loss they suffered in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Moreover, this is the same Bangladesh team that defeated Pakistan in the recently concluded Test series.
Things looked bleak for India at one stage after the top order failed to score many runs in the first innings, but a stunning ton from home boy Ravichandran Ashwin and an 86-run knock from Ravindra Jadeja brought the hosts back into the game.
When Bangladesh were dismissed for 149 in the first innings, Team India had a 227-run lead, which only increased after magnificent centuries from Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant in the second innings. In the end, captain Rohit Sharma called his boys back to the pavilion at 287/4, setting the visitors a target of 515.
Though Bangladesh started their innings on the right foot with a 62-run stand between Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam, Ravichandran Ashwin’s 3-wicket haul on the third day put them at a disadvantage. On day four, Ashwin and Jadeja are likely to shoulder more responsibility on an ever-changing Chennai track.

India vs Bangladesh live: Murali Karthik gives update on Shakib al Hasan’s injury
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: “After having seen him and known him for so long, I went up to him and asked him why he hasn’t bowled enough. And what he told me is something I can completely relate to. He has undergone surgery on his bowling finger, which is the tip of his left hand finger. It’s swollen, it’s stiff, there’s no movement, it’s got no flexibility. That’s why he feels like he’s not feeling anything. As a bowler you need the feel. He also has problems with his shoulder, so it’s a combination of both and it’s difficult to bowl in Test cricket where you need that feel as a bowler,” Karthik was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
India vs Bangladesh Live: Shubman Gill and fun chats with Rishabh Pant
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Speaking about his conversations with Rishabh Patn between overs, Gill told the broadcasters: “I was telling him not to (hit his bat). Because I am playing with a bat which I used in the England series, so my bat is quite old actually, and he was hitting my bat so hard that I told him that ‘I am trying to save my bat’. So if in the middle, he was like, let’s do it again. Brother, calm down (smiles).”

India vs Bangladesh live score: “You have to make the most of it…”; former Bangladesh batsman’s advice for openers
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Former Bangladesh batsman Tamim Iqbal urged the openers to make the starts count after they scored 62 runs for the first wicket on Saturday. He said on JioCinema: “Both openers looked very solid and batted very comfortably. But these 30, 35 will not help Bangladesh in the long run. We talk about how good they were for an hour or so but people will still see it as 30 and not understand how well they batted. So it is very important for the openers to make them count whenever they get the chance.”
“We know that facing the new ball in Test cricket is very difficult. But when you start, you have to take advantage of it. The openers will be very disappointed but they played much better than they did in the first innings,” Tamim added.
India vs Bangladesh live score: Sanjay Manjrekar speaks on Shubman Gill’s comeback in Tests
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: In an interaction with ESPNcricinfo, Manjrekar said, “His Test career got a little bit derailed. He started off really well against Australia in Australia, he got a 90. After that, he got a few chances against not-so-good opponents in India and he didn’t cash much, he didn’t get the high scores and then he had the tough tours. South Africa is never easy and then he came to India and failed in that Hyderabad Test.”
