Thu Sep 19 09:28:08 UTC 2024: ## India’s Test Struggle Against Bangladesh Begins with Top Order Collapse
**Chennai, India:** The first Test match between India and Bangladesh at Chepauk, Chennai, got off to a shaky start for the hosts, with their top order failing to make a significant impact.
India, batting first, lost Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli cheaply, all dismissed by seamer Hasan Mahmud. Pant, arriving at the crease, found himself in a heated exchange with Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das after being struck by the ball while attempting a single.
Despite the early setbacks, Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal combined to partially revive India’s innings, adding 62 runs for the fourth wicket before Pant fell for 39.
India, fielding three seamers and two spinners, will need to be wary of Bangladesh’s strong spin attack, which recently performed well against Pakistan. Bangladesh, aiming for a similar success, has put up a strong showing and has put India on the back foot.
