Thu Sep 19 07:09:02 UTC 2024: ## Bangladesh Bowlers Shine as India Stumble in First Test
**Chennai, India:** Bangladesh bowlers, led by a fiery Hasan Mahmud, dominated the first day of the first Test against India in Chennai. Mahmud, who was the pick of the bowlers, picked up his fourth wicket by dismissing Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for 39 runs. This left India reeling at 4 down.
With Pant’s dismissal, KL Rahul joined Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease. Jaiswal, who has been a pillar of strength for India, is approaching his half-century and looking to form a crucial partnership with Rahul.
Bangladesh, however, is eager to capitalize on their early success and are looking to take quick wickets to keep India’s batting lineup in check.
Earlier in the day, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and opted to bowl first.
The first Test match is a crucial encounter for both teams as they vie for dominance in the two-match series. The battle between bat and ball is expected to continue on Day 2 as India tries to recover from their early struggles.
