In such a situation, let us know in these five points what happened on the second day of the Chennai Test.
Ravindra Jadeja missed the century
When Team India came out to bat in the morning of the first Test match against Bangladesh, it was expected that Ravindra Jadeja would complete his century, but this did not happen. Jadeja along with Ashwin had batted brilliantly on the first day of the game. However, on the second day of the game, he could not spend much time at the crease and was out after scoring 86 runs in 124 balls. In his innings, he also hit 10 fours and 2 sixes.
Jaspreet Bumrah did deadly batting for Team India
India’s first innings against Bangladesh was restricted to 376 runs. After this it was the turn of bowling. Team India’s dashing player Jaspreet Bumrah wreaked havoc in bowling. Bumrah gave Team India an early breakthrough by taking four wickets. After this, Mohammad Siraj, Akashdeep Singh and Ravindra Jadeja did the rest, with the help of which Bangladesh’s team was restricted to a score of 149 runs.
A total of 17 wickets fell in the game on the second day
By the end of the first day of the test match, Team India had scored 339 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin returned unbeaten. The fast bowlers wreaked havoc on the red soil pitch of Chennai. On the second day of the game, the pace bowlers appeared even more dominant. In the first innings, India lost the remaining 4 wickets, Bangladesh lost 10 and in the second innings, Team India lost 3 wickets again. In this way, a total of 17 players were out in the second day’s game, including both the teams.
Indian team did not give follow on to Bangladesh
After restricting Bangladesh to 149 runs, Team India had the opportunity to ask the visiting team to bat again. However, Team India captain Rohit Sharma did not enforce a follow-on and decided to bat in the second innings himself. Bangladesh was 227 runs behind India in the first innings, but the decision taken by captain Rohit Sharma was quite surprising.
Rohit and Virat failed completely
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli proved to be a complete failure in the second test match against Bangladesh. Both the batsmen scored 6 runs each in the first innings. In such a situation, once again Rohit and Virat got a chance to bat on the second day of the test, but they could not take advantage of it. Rohit Sharma was out after scoring just 6 runs, while Virat Kohli stayed at the crease for some time and lost his wicket after scoring 17 runs.
