**Chennai, India -** India ended day one of the first Test against Bangladesh in a strong position, reaching 176/6 at tea despite losing six wickets, including the promising young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (56).
The day was marked by a crucial partnership between veteran spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who are currently batting together and have stabilized the Indian innings. Bangladesh bowlers are looking to capitalize on their early success and dismiss India as quickly as possible.
Earlier, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to bowl first, hoping to exploit the conditions in Chennai. The first Test of the two-match series is a crucial one for both teams as they vie for a spot in the World Test Championship final.
The match continues tomorrow with India looking to build on their solid foundation and Bangladesh aiming for an early breakthrough to turn the tide.
