Bangladesh Braces for Tough Challenge Against India's Quality Bowling Attack

Bangladesh's batting coach, David Hemp, acknowledged improvements in their second innings but warned of the challenges posed by India's strong bowling lineup in the ongoing Test match.

Bangladesh's batting coach David Hemp on Saturday acknowledged that the team's batters showed significant improvement in their second innings but cautioned them about the formidable challenge posed by India's quality bowling attack in the ongoing Test match.

India has positioned itself favorably to win the first Test, with Rishabh Pant (109) and Shubman Gill (119 not out) hitting superb centuries on the third day. The hosts have set an imposing target of 515 runs for Bangladesh to win the Test.

Bangladesh displayed resilience in their second innings, reaching 158 for four before play was halted due to bad light. They still require another 357 runs for an unlikely victory.
