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.

 

He dived to his left, plucked it off one hand, and sent Zakir back into the pavilion. The Bangladesh opener departed after making a quickfire 33 off 47 balls, which were laced with five boundaries and one six. Bangladesh have thus far been responsible only for rotating the strike on this wicket, and on this, the day Zakir was dismissed, they were 86/2 in 22 overs.

His opening partner Shadman Islam followed soon after, scoring 35 before Ravichandran Ashwin removed him. India had declared their second innings for 287/4, with Shubman Gill (119*) and Rishabh Pant (109) giving the impression of a hard time ahead. India made 376 runs in the first innings, thanks to key knocks from Ravichandran Ashwin (113) and Ravindra Jadeja (86), whereas Bangladesh labored, folding for 149 in their first outing.
