[Watch] Mohammed Siraj gets first wicket as Najmul Hossain Shanto goes for 20 in IND vs BAN 2024 1st Test
Team India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj got the better of Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto in the ongoing Test on Friday, September 20. M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, is playing the host for the first of the two Tests.
Hossain Shanto walked out to bat for the visitors in the second over itself. He was at the other end when wickets fell in a flurry and found himself back in the pavilion soon. On the first ball of the 12th over, the Bangladesh skipper chased a ball outside the off stump off the bowling of Siraj. He got a thick edge and Virat Kohli in the slip cordon did well to get low and complete the catch.
Take a look at the dismissal below:
Najmul Hossain Shanto was dismissed for 20 off 30 balls. His dismissal left Bangladesh on 36/4 after 11.1 overs.

Bangladesh won the toss in the first Test and decided to bowl first on an overcast day in Chennai on Thursday. The visitors had a great start to the day as they reduced Team India to 34/3, dismissing Rohit Sharma (6 off 19), Shubman Gill (0 off 8), and Virat Kohli (6 off 6) cheaply.
A fine hundred under pressure from hometown hero Ravichandran Ashwin (113 off 133) and fifties from Ravindra Jadeja (86 off 124) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (56 off 118) propelled the hosts to 376 in their batting essay.
Team India started strong with the ball as Jasprit Bumrah picked up the wicket of Shadman Islam in the first over. Akash Deep struck twice in the over before lunch. Mohammed Siraj made a name for himself in the wickets column before Jasprit Bumrah came back to prize out Mushfiqur Rahim.
The visitors are 67/5 after 20 overs, with Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das looking to pull things back for them.
