Thu Sep 19 10:47:00 UTC 2024: ## Near Miss! Bangladesh Bowler Hasan Mahmud and Ravindra Jadeja Collide During First Test Match
**Chennai, India -** A tense moment unfolded during the first day of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Bangladesh bowler Hasan Mahmud, who had already claimed four wickets, was involved in a collision with Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, causing a scare for both players.
The incident occurred in the 50th over of the first innings when Jadeja was trying to rebuild the Indian innings after a collapse. After smashing Mahmud for a six, Jadeja was given out LBW on the next ball. However, a review overturned the decision, and Jadeja was declared not out.
As Mahmud celebrated the initial dismissal, he ran back towards the stumps, colliding with Jadeja, who was taking a single. Both players tumbled to the ground, sparking concern about potential injuries. However, fortunately, the collision seemed less severe than it initially appeared, and both players were able to quickly get back on their feet.
Following the incident, the players shook hands and apologized for the mix-up. Despite the near-miss, India recovered well, with Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin scoring half-centuries to guide their team to a more comfortable position.
