In a challenging day for the Indian cricket team, Yashasvi Jaiswal's patient fifty stood out amidst a faltering batting lineup against Bangladesh on the opening day of the first Test. The hosts were reeling at 176 for six at tea, with Bangladesh's Hasan Mahmud delivering a clinical spell, taking four wickets for 35 runs.

Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin remained at the crease, but it was Jaiswal's 56 off 118 balls that provided some stability. His partnership with Rishabh Pant, who scored 39, added a crucial 62 runs off 99 balls, though India struggled with concentration lapses leading to several dismissals.

Despite neither the pitch nor the bowlers posing significant challenges, the Indian batters failed to capitalize, finding their dismissals more a consequence of mental errors than skill. Jaiswal's assured play raised hopes, only to see him fall prey to a rush of blood, exemplifying the day's frustrations for the home side.
