On the other hand, the first match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is currently being played at the MM Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While Tamim Iqbal, a part of the commentary panel and former Bangladesh captain, tried to create a new rivalry between former captain Virat Kohli and Mushfiqur Rahim during this series, Ravi Shastri made fun of him in a different way. In the first innings of the Chennai Test match, Kohli and Mushfiqur proved to be flops with the bat. In such a situation, Tamim Iqbal, who was present in the commentary panel, was expecting a spat between the two on the field. During this, Tamim, who was a part of the panel, said- Tamim Iqbal – Mushfiqur Rahim is batting, Virat Kohli is in the slips. Be careful now, keep an eye on them, they have a lot of history. Ravi Shastri- Which history? Tamim Iqbal: Oh, you know, Ravi. You know what history I am talking about. (laughs) Harsha Bhogle: Ah, okay Tamim. I think Mushfiqur has a little bit of history with everybody. India took a lead of 308 runs over Bangladesh On the other hand, in reply to India’s first innings score of 376 runs, Bangladesh’s first innings was reduced to just 149 runs. At the stumps of the second day, India has scored 81 runs at the loss of 3 wickets after 23 overs in the second innings. Shubman Gill is batting at 33* and Rishabh Pant at 12*. India currently has a lead of 308 runs over Bangladesh.
