In a cautious strategic move, Bangladesh spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz revealed on Monday that his team will prioritize a safety-first approach rather than aggressive play on the final day of the second Test against India.

Entering the last day with an eight-wicket deficit and trailing by 26 runs, Miraz shared that the focus would be on batting for as long as possible.

India's batsmen aggressively closed their first innings to secure a 52-run lead, a tactic that rattled Bangladesh. Despite the challenges, Miraz remained hopeful, citing previous successes under similar circumstances and underscoring the importance of partnerships.
