India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Cheeky Rishabh Pant helps Bangladesh set field

Rishabh Pant is the kind of character that world cricket needs. The India wicketkeeper-batsman, who remains chirpy whether standing behind the stumps or in front, created another lighthearted moment on the third day of the opening Test against Bangladesh in Chennai.

Shortly after play started on the third morning at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Pant noticed a little confusion among the opposition about where to move the fielder, and he decided to help skipper Najmul Shanto.

"Idhar lagega bhai ek fielder, mid-wicket pe,"
Pant was caught saying on the stump microphone. Interestingly, Shanto did exactly that thereafter, putting a fielder at mid-wicket.

The commentators on air couldn't help but laugh about Pant's sense of humour. This is Pant's first Test match since his horrific car accident in December 2022.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: On time start
The city of Chennai experienced rainfall during the night and early morning hours. As a precautionary measure, the groundsmen had covered the pitch and outfield.

However, these covers have now been removed.

Former cricketer Abhinav Mukund, who is currently on air, has mentioned that the Chepauk stadium boasts an excellent drainage system.

The players from both teams are currently engaged in warm-up activities on the field. The overcast conditions and the moisture in the pitch due to the recent rain might prove to be advantageous for the Bangladeshi seamers. In a positive development, it has been confirmed that the match will commence as scheduled, without any delays.

EXPLAINED: Why Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is holding a band between his teeth while batting

Former Bangladesh captain and veteran allrounder is using an interesting technique to get his stance and head position right while batting in the first Test against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Images of a thin black band clenched between his teeth while facing up to a bowler have been doing the rounds on social media, leading to the question what makes Shakib do that.

Former India opener Aakash Chopra, who is also doing commentary in the two-match Test series, explained the reason when a batsman can attempt such unique corrective measures.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: 'When I see children trying to copy my action ... ' - Jasprit Bumrah
Following a fine spell against Bangladesh, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah said that he is happy to have inspired the young generation through his fast bowling.

Fine performances by Indian pacers, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, helped the hosts secure a tight advantage at the end of day two of the first Test against Bangladesh at Chennai on Friday. Bumrah completed 400 wickets in international cricket, becoming the 10th bowler from his team to do so.

Speaking to JioCinema after the game, Bumrah said that he does not recommend children to copy his bowling action.

"I do not know how to react to that (being told that he is an inspiration). But you know, when I was a kid, I used to. I was a fan of fast bowling. I learnt through watching television. I fell in love with the sport by that. Now, sometimes when I see children trying to copy my action, I do not recommend it. But you know, sometimes it is what it is. You get inspired by something,, and you try and find your own way. I am very happy to create an impact whenever I can," Bumrah told the broadcaster.

The pacer also said he does not get "too high" after being praised or too low after being criticised.

"I try to give my absolute best. So I try to focus on what I can do, and I try to give my absolute best. I wanted to play for India. So playing for India. No complaints. And I want to give my best for as long as I can," he further added.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India's second innings
In their second innings, India got going with three boundaries, before captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed cheaply as Taskin Ahmed extracted an outside edge, which flew to the third slip. Yashasvi Jaiswal constantly tried to play at deliveries outside off-stump and eventually nicked behind one-off Nahid Rana.

Gill, who got out for a duck in the first innings, looked good in his back-foot punches, pull and sweep to collect quick boundaries. But India lost Virat Kohli, who was trapped lbw while trying to clip through the on-side off Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Interestingly, replays showed a feather edge on ultra edge, making many wonder what would have happened if Kohli had taken the review. Pant swept Shakib Al Hasan for four and followed it up by dancing down the pitch to slam a six over long-on fence to ensure India’s lead crossed 300 till day’s play came to a close.
