In reply to India’s batting masterclass, Bangladesh were bowled out for just 149 runs in 47.1 overs. Jasprit Bumrah picked up a 4-wicket haul, while Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep and Ravindra Jadeja picked up two wickets each.
India decided not to enforce the follow-on and batted again. They managed to score 81-3 at stumps on Day 2. They lead Bangladesh by a margin of 308 runs. Rohit Sharma and Co. will look to bat the whole day 3 to take the game away from Bangladesh’s hands.
At the end of Day 2, here’s what Ravindra Jadeja said:
“I got out today but it’s part and parcel of the game. Now we have to put up a good score on the board in the second innings. I am very happy with my bowling, the way I went through today. It’s a good opportunity to take the 300th wicket on this ground. First we have to bat very well, we have to put somewhere around 120-150 from hereon. We’ll be in a good position and then we’ll come out and bowl and try and get them out as early as possible. (Pitch) It’s pretty good for batting but there’s still something in the wicket for the fast bowlers. Odd ball was seaming, odd ball was swinging, it’s not that easy for batters.”
Shubman Gill is currently unbeaten on 33 off 64 balls. Rishabh Pant is batting on the other side with the score of 12 off 13 balls.
