The 2nd Test between India and Bangladesh is perfectly poised in balance as the hosts have already picked three quick wickets towards the end of Day 3, at Shere Bangla National Stadium, in Dhaka. With just 145 needed to ensure a clean sweep in the two-match Test series, India’s top-order succumbed to pressure as KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill got dismissed way too early in the 2nd innings.
However, Indian bowlers had a good outing in Dhaka as they restricted the hosts to a low score in both innings. While Umesh Yadav and R Ashwin bagged four wickets each to bundle out Bangladesh at 227-10 in the 1st innings, the 2nd innings brought the best of Axar Patel, and Md Siraj, who picked three and two wickets, respectively. Meanwhile, an interesting video featuring Md. Siraj and Litton Das has gone viral on the internet which has surely added more spice to the game.
In a video, Siraj can be seen giving a fierce send-off to the Bangladesh batter after dismissing him on a beautiful delivery in the 2nd innings, of the 2nd Test match. Notably, Bangladesh's batter launched an impressive counterattack to India’s bowling attack as the batter went on to score a valiant 73 off 98 deliveries before Siraj left him puzzled with an unplayable inswinger.
It was the 67th over of Bangladesh’s second innings when Siraj came up with a magical delivery. The ball came back in sharply to catch Litton off guard. The right-hander, who was batting so well till then, was late to bring his bat down.
The ball clipped the bails and gave India the much-needed breakthrough. Das’ wicket had high importance as the same was evident with the way Siraj celebrated post-dislodging Litton’s bails. While the Bangladesh batter walked back to the pavilion without even looking at the Indian pacer, Siraj roared and approached Das to mutter a few words.
