In the Chennai Test, Bangladesh's decision to bowl first after winning the toss paid off. The sky in Chennai was overcast, which benefited its fast bowlers a lot in the first hour of play. Especially for Bangladesh's Hasan Mahmud, it was a dream come true. Playing only the fourth Test of his career and the first against India, Hasan Mahmud wreaked havoc on the Chennai pitch. Taking full advantage of the conditions conducive to fast bowling, he took the wickets of Rohit, Gill and Virat in one line. But, the story does not end here. This bowler, who broke the back of India's top order, can now be seen leaving behind the record of his performance in Pakistan.

Hasan Mahmood took 8 wickets in Pakistan

Before coming to India, Bangladesh had toured Pakistan and achieved the feat of winning the Test series against them for the first time. The most successful fast bowler in that historic victory of Bangladesh on Pakistani soil was Hasan Mahmud. Hasan Mahmud took 8 wickets in 4 innings of the 2 Test series played during the tour of Pakistan. In India, he has a chance to perform better than Pakistan.

Took 3 wickets in the first spell in India

He has already started to leave behind his performance in Pakistan in India. Hasan Mahmud has taken 3 wickets in his first spell of the first innings of the first test being played in Chennai. He took these wickets by giving away 14 runs in a spell of 7 overs.

Team India captain Rohit Sharma became the first victim of Hasan Mahmood on Indian soil. After that, he did not let Shubman Gill open his account. Then he silenced the noise of Chepauk Stadium by sending Virat Kohli to the pavilion.

6 more wickets… Pakistan's performance in India will be left behind!

Now forget about one innings, Hasan Mahmood has taken 3 wickets in just one spell. He has to bowl many more such spells. After Chennai, he has to play the second test against India. That means, he has a golden opportunity to surpass his performance in Pakistan in India. Hasan Mahmood needs only 6 more wickets to do so.

If we talk about the Test match, then recovering from the 3 blows given by Hasan Mahmood, India has scored 88 runs in the first innings of the Chennai Test. Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are settled at the crease, between whom a partnership of fifty plus runs has been made.
