updates of IND vs BAN 1st Test-
Only 23 overs were bowled in the first session but the unbeaten 54-run stand between Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal has ensured that India recovered from the deep hole they were in at the start of the first session.
Was it a chance? It definitely was! Shadman Islam needed to be a bit closer than he was as the ball bounced right underneath his hands as Takin Ahmed induced an edge and Rishabh Pant survives. Can he make it into a big one?
Rishabh Pant’s style of play is different. He might look weird while playing a few shots but when he middles the ball, the sight is so good for the fans. Jaiswal and Pant is slowly reviving India’s innings. For now, the target will be to go unscathed till lunch. India are 55/3
Yashasvi Jaiswal has played a wonderful shot to the leg-side and that four has brought up India’s 50. He is walking down the track for the last few balls and was able to middle the ball finally.
Rishabh Pant has returned to playing Test cricket after 634 days and has played a cracking shot off the back-foot. There is no rust in it and the man is looking in good touch. He has to be careful though and make sure he respects the conditions too.
