India vs Bangladesh: Yashasvi Jaiswal sets remarkable record amidst Bangladesh’s first Test

India’s young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal continued to impress when he reached a historic milestone during the first day of the opening Test against Bangladesh in Chennai on Thursday, September 19. Despite frequent wickets falling around him, Jaiswal exhibited great tenacity, hitting a vital half-century. By doing so, he became the first player in 147 years to score more than 750 runs from his first 10 Test innings at home, surpassing the previous record held by West Indian legend George Headley, who scored 747 runs in 1935.

Jaiswal’s remarkable accomplishments make him one of the greatest young talents in Test cricket. His knock of 56 was fundamental in ensuring India’s innings got back on course; this also saw him surpass esteemed players like Javed Miandad and Sir Viv Richards when it comes down to total runs scored at home during the very first ten Test innings.

Nonetheless, Bangladeshi pacer Hasan Mahmud stole the limelight by demolishing an entire batting lineup with an amazing bowling spell of 4-38 against India. For instance, he assisted in lowering their score from 176 to 6 just by tea time on day one. Almost immediately Hasan struck the godfather of cricket Rohit Sharma who is also the captain of India as well as Virat Kohli both for a mere six runs each at one stroke thereby making his presence felt strongly indeed! In particular, it was surprising that they should have dismissed Kohli; after all, he had only returned and there were hopes that he would break even more records.

Nahid Rana and Mehidy Hasan Miraz further supported the Bangladesh bowling effort by taking vital wickets that prevented a stable Indian batting lineup from being formed. Hasan Mahmud’s early spell claimed Rohit Sharma at second slip and left India struggling at 34-3 inside an hour of play as he dismissed Shubman Gill for a duck. The Indian fans were then left heartbroken as Virat Kohli was caught behind off Litton Das’ glove.

While Jaiswal attempted to steady the ship with a 62-run partnership alongside Rishabh Pant, the latter’s dismissal of his partner for 39 proved pivotal. Pant who was back into Test cricket after surviving a ghastly car crash in 2022 gave brief flashes of his aggressive brand but again Hasan after lunch did him in.

At the moment, India’s hopes of getting back on track and putting up a respectable score rest upon Ravindra Jadeja (7*) and Ravichandran Ashwin (21*) who are both unbeaten. On the other hand, Bangladesh is looking to register their first win over India in Test matches after having swept Pakistan in a Test two-nil victory.

The team’s success in improving its rank in the World Test Championship standings will hang on its ability to recover from this match, as India starts a new Test season with 10 matches this year.
