**Chennai, India:** Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud dominated the first day of the first Test against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, claiming three crucial wickets in the first hour of play. The right-arm seamer rattled the Indian batting order, sending back Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill in quick succession.

Mahmud started his spell by dismissing Indian captain Rohit Sharma in his third over, drawing an edge to the second slip. He followed this up with the dismissal of Gill, who was strangled down the leg side in his fourth over. The highlight of Mahmud’s morning came with the prized wicket of Virat Kohli, who edged a wide delivery to Litton Das at slip.

By the end of his first spell, Mahmud had impressive figures of 3/14 in seven overs, showcasing his ability to bowl with pace and precision. This performance follows his impressive showing in the recent Test series against Pakistan, where he picked up eight wickets in two matches.

Mahmud, who made his Test debut against Sri Lanka earlier this year, has quickly established himself as a rising star in Bangladesh cricket. His impressive performances in the Under-19 World Cup, Bangladesh Premier League, and Bangladesh Cricket League have paved the way for his international success.

With his talent and early success, Mahmud will be a formidable threat to the Indian batting lineup throughout the series. His performance on Day 1 has put Bangladesh in a strong position, setting the stage for a captivating match.
