India extended their dominance in the Chennai Test against Bangladesh, closing the day with a commanding lead of 308 runs. Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 33 as India reached 81 for 3 at the end of Friday’s play. Earlier, a potent bowling display, led by Jasprit Bumrah’s 4 for 50, bundled Bangladesh out for 149 runs in their first innings.
Bumrah was the star with the ball, supported by Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, and Akash Deep, who each took two wickets. Bangladesh struggled throughout their innings, with Shakib Al Hasan top-scoring with 32 runs. India’s efficient bowling gave them a significant first-innings lead of 227 runs.
Despite losing a few quick wickets, India consolidated their advantage with Gill at the crease and extended their lead to 308 by stumps, putting them in a commanding position heading into the next day.
