**Chennai, September 19, 2024:** Young Bangladeshi pacer Hasan Mahmud made a strong statement in the first Test against India at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday. In his fourth Test appearance, the 24-year-old fast bowler took four crucial wickets, including those of Indian stars Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant.
Mahmud’s impressive performance came after Bangladesh opted to bowl first under overcast conditions. He struck early, dismissing Rohit Sharma for a mere 6 runs. He then followed up with the scalps of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, both falling for 0 and 6 runs respectively. Mahmud’s final wicket of the day came in the form of Rishabh Pant, who was dismissed for 39 runs.
This impactful display follows Mahmud’s previous successful outings in Test cricket. Earlier this year in March, he bagged six wickets against Sri Lanka. Last month, he achieved a landmark victory over Pakistan in Rawalpindi, claiming his maiden five-wicket haul (5/43) in the second innings.
Hasan Mahmud’s exceptional performance has undoubtedly set the stage for a thrilling Test series between Bangladesh and India.
