The highlight of the day was a blistering bowling performance by India, particularly by **Hasan Mahmud**, who took a remarkable five-wicket haul for Bangladesh. He became the first Bangladeshi bowler to achieve this feat on Indian soil in Test cricket.
**Ravi Ashwin (113)** and **Ravindra Jadeja (86)** were the stars for India in the first innings. The duo shared a crucial 199-run partnership, which laid the foundation for India’s dominant score.
Bangladesh faced a challenging start, losing their first five wickets for just 40 runs. **Jasprit Bumrah** and **Akash Deep** were the key destroyers, picking up early wickets.
India, currently undefeated in 17 consecutive home Test series since 2012, looks poised to extend their dominance over Bangladesh. The visitors, however, will be hoping for a miracle to turn the tide in the series.
The third day promises to be an exciting one, with India looking to enforce a follow-on and potentially secure a quick victory in the match.
