**Chennai, India:** India continued their dominant performance in the first Test against Bangladesh, leaving the visitors in a precarious position at the end of Day 2. After wrapping up their innings for 376 runs, India bowled Bangladesh out for a paltry 149, taking a commanding 227-run lead.
The highlight of the day was a brilliant century from Ravichandran Ashwin, who finished on 113, adding 11 runs to his overnight score. He shared a crucial 199-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (86) for the seventh wicket, helping India set a challenging target.
However, Bangladesh’s batting faltered, succumbing to a disciplined Indian bowling attack. Jasprit Bumrah led the charge with four wickets, including a crucial dismissal of Mushfiqur Rahim, while Akash Deep picked up two early wickets to put Bangladesh on the backfoot.
Bangladesh’s only significant resistance came from Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das, who put on a 51-run stand for the sixth wicket. However, Jadeja dismissed both batsmen, ending their hopes of a comeback.
The Indian bowlers were relentless, showcasing excellent control and pace throughout the day. Bangladesh will need a miracle to recover from this deficit and avoid an early defeat.
The third day promises to be exciting as India looks to capitalize on their dominant position and secure a victory.
