On the historic occasion of India’s first-ever day/night Test, under the leadership of Virat Kohli, Team India showed a true spirit of cricket by helping a Bangladesh batsman who hit by a bouncer during Day 1 of the match. After Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on Friday (November 22), their batsmen found it tough against the Indian fast bowlers. They were bowled bundled out o a meager score of 106 runs in 30.3 overs.
The Indian bowlers wreaked havoc as they bundled out for a meager total of 106 runs. Ishant Sharma was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped 5 wickets (his 10th 5-wicket haul in Test and 2nd at home), while Umesh Yadav taking three and Mohammed Shami also taking a couple.

The fiery bowling of the Indian pacers left the opposition batsmen rattled as they left them in deep trouble. Liton Das was hit on the helmet by a Shami delivery and he had to retire hurt. Later in the game, Nayeem Hasan too took a blow on his helmet from Shami on the 25th over. As Bangladesh’s physio was busy attending Das, Indian physio Nitin Patel was called to the ground by Kohli and his teammates.
