**Dhaka, Bangladesh:** India put on a dominant display on day one of the first Test against Bangladesh, reaching 278/6 at stumps, thanks to a strong performance from the batting duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant.

Jaiswal, playing his debut Test, made a confident start to his international career with a well-crafted 51 runs. He was particularly impressive in the first session, scoring 43 runs before being dismissed by Hasan Mahmud just before lunch.

Pant, who came in at number 5, played with his usual aggression, smashing 35 runs off 49 balls. He found good support from Jaiswal, and together the two batsmen put on a crucial 80-run partnership for the fourth wicket.

While Bangladesh’s bowlers started the day with a flurry of wickets, with Hasan Mahmud taking 4/25, they struggled to contain the Indian batting lineup after the lunch break. Pant and Jaiswal punished any loose deliveries, leading to a string of boundaries for the team.

Despite a late flurry of wickets by the Bangladesh bowlers, India managed to finish the day on a strong footing. The visitors will be looking to build on their solid start on Day 2, while Bangladesh will be hoping to make a comeback.
