Pacer with the right arm In the opening Test of the two-match series against India in Chennai, Hasan Mahmud takes five wickets. Bangladesh began their first innings following his impressive bowling, but by noon on day two, they had lost three wickets in rapid succession.
With his exceptional bowling performance, Hasan became the first Bangladeshi bowler to take five wickets against India. He also had a five-for in the previous inning against Pakistan in Rawalpindi.
Variations in length and clever use of the seam were key for Hasan in this inning. While removing Rhohit Sharma, his delivery went away while passing the batter, and Rohit missed the line, so the ball touched his bat before going to the second slip.
Hasan also exploited natural variations, like a too-full delivery that drifted down the legside, catching Shubman Gill by surprise.
His dismissal of Virat Kohli was classic. He lured him into a drive outside off to a ball that wasn’t quite there for the shot.
India ended their first inning at 376, with Ravichandran Ashwin hitting the highest of 113. They were at 339 for six at the end of day one.
