IND vs BAN: Rishabh Pant braces for Test return after 632 days

A harsh sun beating down on him, Rishabh Pant was engrossed preparing for his first Test in two years, taking down net bowlers in that unmistakably Pant-ish way. From getting tossed up some 40m into air off a toppled car to getting back to cricket field at the highest level is nothing less than extraordinary. It was hard to believe that 632 days have passed since Pant has played a Test match, and, coincidentally, his last five-day game was also against Bangladesh in 2022. Now, the same opposition awaits him on his return to Test cricket come Thursday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, and while the cricketing landscape around him remains largely unchanged, though some worthy contenders have come up in the interim. Dhruv Jurel has impressed all with a gritty outing in front and behind the stumps during the home series against England earlier this year. None could have faulted the team management if they continued with Jurel for this match, but head coach Gautam Gambhir underlined the v

India vs Bangladesh: Important to build relationship with seniors - Gambhir

Head coach Gautam Gambhir on Wednesday underlined the significance for him to build on the existing cordial relationship with the senior players like skipper Rohit Sharma and batting talisman Virat Kohli to take Indian cricket forward. Gambhir, who took over from Rahul Dravid after the T20 World Cup, has shared the Indian dressing room with the likes of Kohli, Rohit and Ashwin in the not-so-distant past. It's still early days (for him as coach). But the good part is that I have played with those guys (seniors). At one stage we were sharing the dressing room as players, when they were younger, who have now become experienced guys, Gambhir said in the pre-match press meet here. When you have that kind of a relationship, sometimes it gets much easier than building a relationship. Obviously, now the roles are different. The relationship we can build over a period of next couple of years. It's going to be very important, and now we should keep taking it a little bit forward because we'v

India vs Bangladesh: Gambhir backs Indian batters to take on any spin unit

India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Wednesday expressed confidence in his batting unit's capability to negate quality spin bowling, a challenge they are expected to face in the Test series against Bangladesh. India batters, including star batter Virat Kohli, struggled against Sri Lankan spinners in the ODI-leg of the recent away white-ball series, leading to a tinge of apprehension ahead of the Bangladesh rubber. "Our batting unit has so much quality that it can take on any spin unit. There is a lot of difference between ODIs and Tests. It's all about the mindset and working and strengthening your defence and once you have it, then you play around it," Gambhir told the media on the eve of the opening Test. The former Indian opener, himself an excellent player of spin in his playing days, conceded that Bangladesh have experienced and quality tweakers in their ranks. "They have a very good bowling attack. Shakib (Al Hasan) has got the experience. Mahidi (Hasan) is there as well. So, w

Jaiswal proud of half century against Bangladesh in 1st Test match

Yashasvi Jaiswal curbed his natural flair to make a determined 56 against Bangladesh in seaming conditions here on Thursday, and the young opener said such experiences will make him a stronger, all-weather player in future. Jaiswal's half-century and his 62-run partnership with fellow left-hander Rishabh Pant helped India avoid a total collapse on the first day of the opening Test after getting reduced to 34 for three inside the first 10 overs. "It was amazing to go out there and play in these conditions. It will make me strong and I will learn from it as to how to play in all these conditions and how to plan my innings," Jaiswal told reporters in the post-day press meet. "I try to bat according to the requirements of my team and keep changing my game accordingly. If the wicket falls initially, how can I bat? When the runs are coming, how can I bat?," he added. Jaiswal conceded that there was some help for the bowlers in the first couple of sessions, warranting a cautious approach

IND vs BAN: Ravichandran Ashwin suggests batters to go hard like Pant

Home hero Ravichandran Ashwin on Thursday said he made a conscious effort to bat aggressively on the red soil pitch laid out for the first Test against Bangladesh. The ploy worked brilliantly as Ashwin got India out of a hole with a sublime hundred in front of his home crowd. "It's an old Chennai surface with a bit of bounce and carry. The red soil pitch allows you to play a few shots if you are willing to just get in line and give it a bit of a tonk when there's width," Ashwin told the host broadcasters after the opening day's proceedings. "Of course, I have always been wafting my bat around outside off-stump. Worked on a few things and on a surface like this with a bit of spice, if you're going after the ball, might as well go after it really hard like Rishabh does." Rishabh Pant too batted well for his 39 off 52 balls before falling to a loose stroke. On a day India lost their top-four for 96, Ashwin showed remarkable control and dominated the Bangladesh bowling in his brillian

IND vs BAN: The story behind Bangladesh cricket team's pace revolution

For the last one month, Bangladesh is on a mission to reverse a long-standing trend of left-arm spinners leading their bowling. Two beanpole quicks are at the forefront of that changing of baton Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana. They arrived on these shores after a sensational effort against Pakistan, but India could be a daunting destination even for the more experienced ones. But on the opening day of the first Test against India here on Thursday, Mahmud (4/58) and Rana (1/80) justified the hype around them, rather contrastingly. Mahmud owns lively pace but banks more on an exemplary seam position and other variations to make an impact, whereas Rana is the battering ram, looking to unsettle the batters with raw pace. It was evident in their respective approach at Chepauk. But Mahmud was more successful this day, taking four wickets Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant a list that still remains a dream even for the more reputed names. Rana hustled Indians ...

IND vs BAN: Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud 'joyful' after day 1 heroics

In a team that wears its emotions on its sleeves, Hasan Mahmud is an exception. He doesn't believe in exaggerated celebrations, lacks the aggression of a pacer, but is fast becoming a master at making the ball talk. On the opening day of the first Test against India here, the 24-year-old Bangladesh bowler grabbed the spotlight with a three-wicket burst in the first session, which rocked a famed batting line-up comprising heavyweights Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. Considering the batters he dismissed in only his fourth Test, one would have expected the quality pacer to celebrate it appropriately. But he restricted it to just a few high-fives and hand-shakes with his colleagues. "I don't really celebrate and there's no real reason why. You could say that if I celebrate after taking a wicket, it will make the batter feel more upset so that's why I don't celebrate," he had said at a press conference. The bowler though expressed his delight at sending back the likes of

IND vs BAN: Bumrah on having to use other tactics on pitch with no grip

Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah disclosed that he experimented with an assortment of deliveries until he found the one that yielded result on the second day of the first Test against Bangladesh, as the lack of grip on the wicket rendered his stock balls ineffective. Despite the lack of assistance from the pitch, Bumrah emerged as the top bowler for India. The talismanic pacer wreaked havoc returning with the figures of 4/50 in Bangladesh's first innings on Friday. He bowled length balls, bouncers and yorkers. "I had no other option because when I tried to bowl a length ball, the ball wasn't doing anything, and the ball wasn't reversing either," Bumrah told the official broadcaster after the end of play on day two. "So, I had to try something because, as a bowler, you have to experiment when there's not much happening. There was no grip on the wicket, so I used one of those tactics that I've used in domestic cricket as well. It worked today, and that experience helped me out. H

IND vs BAN: Taskin Ahmed rues losing too many wickets in first 10 overs

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed on Friday admitted that losing too many wickets in the first 10 overs of their first innings against "world class" Indian bowlers has put his side on the backfoot in the opening Test against India here. In reply to India's first innings total of 376, Bangladesh were all out for 149 in 47.1 overs on the second day, with Shakib Al Hasan (32) being their top scorer. They lost three wickets in the first 10 overs and scored 27 runs. "Overall, our batting was a little bit disappointing. Yeah, there is some help for the fast bowlers, but still, we could have done much better than that. So yeah, we are disappointed," Ahmed said at the press conference after the day's play. "We also lost too many wickets in the first 10 (overs), which cost us our game." India were 81 for 3 in their second innings at stumps for an overall lead of 308 runs. Ahmed, who took three wickets in India's first innings and one in the second, also felt that his side's less experience of
