Sat Sep 21 11:22:48 UTC 2024: ## Bangladesh Allrounder Battles Injury as India Dominates Day 3 in Chennai Test
**Chennai, India** – Day three of the first Test between India and Bangladesh saw the hosts take firm control of the match, leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb in the fourth innings.
Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan is believed to be playing with discomfort in his spinning finger and shoulder, restricting him to just seven overs on the third day. His limited bowling contribution, coupled with a strong performance from the Indian bowlers, allowed India to build a substantial lead.
India’s bowlers, known for their ability to extract sharp turn from the pitch, were on fire, with R. Ashwin, R. Pant, and K. Gill all making significant contributions. Ashwin, in particular, highlighted the importance of separating bowling and batting, stating that they are “very separate sports in the same game”.
The fourth day promises exciting action as Bangladesh will be looking to fight back, while India aims to secure a crucial victory.
