Bumrah shines as India dismisses Bangladesh for 149 in Chennai Test

In the first Test match held in Chennai, India showcased a dominant performance against Bangladesh, dismissing them for just 149 runs on the second day. Jasprit Bumrah was the standout bowler, claiming four wickets and significantly contributing to Bangladesh's collapse. The visitors struggled early, finding themselves at 40-5, with Bumrah and Akash Deep leading the charge. Shakib Al Hasan was the top scorer for Bangladesh with 32 runs, but his efforts were insufficient to mount a serious challenge against India's bowling attack. India had previously set a formidable first-innings total of 376, bolstered by Ravichandran Ashwin's impressive 113 runs. His partnership with Ravindra Jadeja, which yielded 199 runs for the seventh wicket, was crucial in establishing a strong lead. Despite a promising start, Bangladesh's batting lineup faltered under pressure, with only a few players managing to reach double figures. The Indian bowlers maintained relentless pressure, with Bumrah's bouncers and yorkers proving particularly effective. Jadeja also played a key role, taking two wickets in quick succession to further dismantle the Bangladesh batting order. The match saw a remarkable performance from Hasan Mahmud, who took five wickets for 83 runs, but it was not enough to prevent India from asserting their dominance. As the match progresses, India leads by 227 runs and has opted not to enforce the follow-on, indicating their confidence in extending their advantage. This match is part of a fresh Test season for India, who are looking to solidify their position at the top of the World Test Championship rankings, while Bangladesh continues to seek their first Test victory against India.
