Thu Sep 19 03:26:44 UTC 2024: ## India Dominates Day 1 of First Test Against Bangladesh, Ashwin and Jadeja Stellar

**Chennai, India:** India took control of the first Test match against Bangladesh, reaching 334/6 at stumps on Day 1, thanks to a brilliant unbeaten 195-run partnership between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Ashwin scored his sixth Test century, while Jadeja remained unbeaten on 86.

Bangladesh, who won the toss and elected to bowl first, started strongly with the ball, claiming four wickets early in the innings. Hasan Mahmud was the pick of the bowlers, claiming four wickets, including the crucial scalp of Rishabh Pant. However, the Bangladesh bowlers were unable to maintain the pressure, and Ashwin and Jadeja counter-attacked with a relentless partnership that frustrated the Bangladeshi bowlers.

Earlier in the day, India was in trouble after losing their top order quickly. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli were all dismissed cheaply by Hasan Mahmud. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal (56) and Pant (39) put together a crucial 62-run partnership to steady the ship.

The first Test match is being played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The two teams will now contest the second Test match in Dhaka.
