One such moment to cherish came Yashasvi Jaiswal’s way on Saturday, as he took an incredible catch to send Zakir Hasan packing off his own bowling in Bangladesh’s second innings on the fourth day of the Test here at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Bangalore: On a daunting target of 515 runs, Bangladesh made an impressive start, led by Zakir Hasan.

Left-hander now came out with positive intent in the second innings after having been dismissed for just 3 runs in the first innings and showed his aggressive approach from the very beginning. Zakir departed the first over of the innings with two boundaries against Jasprit Bumrah. His attacking style went on with taking Mohammed Siraj for two more fours and a six in the sixth over, even impressing India’s skipper Rohit Sharma.

At the end of the second session, Bangladesh had reached 56/0 in just 13 overs, looking well poised for a strong fightback. India was looking for a hero, and in Jaiswal, it finally found one. Zakir edged a delivery from Bumrah to gully in the 18th over. This time around, it looked like the ball would have raced past Jaiswal but the young opener was one step ahead of the ball as well as the batsman.
