Bangladeshi Bowlers Struggle Against Gill and Pant
Earlier in India’s second innings, the team had a poor start. They lost their first wicket with just 15 runs on the board as captain Rohit Sharma got out for 5. India’s second wicket fell at 28 runs when Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 10 by Nahid Rana. Virat Kohli then got out for 17, bowled by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, leaving India at 67 for 3 wickets. However, after that, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant gave no chances to the Bangladeshi bowlers. They not only kept the bowlers waiting for a wicket but also scored plenty of boundaries with ease.
