**Dhaka, Bangladesh:** A dominant display by seasoned Indian batsmen Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja saw India post a commanding total of 300 runs on Day 1 of the first Test match against Bangladesh.
Ashwin, who reached a century off 112 deliveries, and Jadeja, who scored 86 runs, put on a 150-run partnership, effectively dismantling the Bangladesh bowling attack. Jadeja was particularly aggressive, reaching his 70s with a powerful pull shot, while Ashwin smashed a magnificent six to bring up the 300-run mark for India.
The duo’s strong performance overshadowed a shaky start for India, which lost two wickets early in the innings. However, Ashwin and Jadeja steadied the ship, building a formidable foundation for India’s dominance.
Bangladesh struggled to contain the Indian batsmen, with Hasan Mahmud taking the only four wickets for the hosts. Shakib Al Hasan, the star Bangladesh all-rounder, was unable to make an impact, conceding 50 runs in his eight overs.
With India setting a strong platform, the first Test match promises to be a thrilling contest. Day 2 will see Bangladesh’s batsmen under pressure to match India’s impressive performance.
