**Chennai, India:** A heated moment occurred during the first Test match between India and Bangladesh in Chennai, as India struggled to recover from an early collapse. The incident involved Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and Bangladeshi wicketkeeper Litton Das, sparked by a controversial run.
With India reeling at 34/3, Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal were attempting to rebuild the innings. In the 16th over, Jaiswal hit a delivery towards mid-on and attempted a single. The ball deflected off Pant’s leg, allowing him to complete the run. Das, however, was unhappy with the incident and engaged in a heated exchange with Pant, expressing his frustration.
The incident drew significant attention on social media, with many discussing it on Twitter.
Earlier, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and opted to bowl first on a dry Chennai pitch. The decision paid off as Bangladesh bowlers dominated the early session, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli for low scores.
However, Pant and Jaiswal steadied the ship, forming a crucial 50-run partnership before lunch. Pant scored 33 off 44 balls, while Jaiswal contributed 37 off 62 balls.
The challenging conditions in Chennai, characterized by surprising bounce and swing, played a significant role in India’s early struggles.
By the end of the first session, Pant was dismissed for 39 by Hasan Mahmud, who took his fourth wicket of the innings. Jaiswal, unbeaten at 50, and KL Rahul, are currently batting for India, who are 132/4 after 35 overs.
