The red ball thrill has come back to the Indian subcontinent. Team India is facing Bangladesh in a two-match Test series. As the first match is taking place in Chennai, the drama unfolds in every moment. While batting first, Team India faced some setbacks after losing some consecutive setbacks. In between this, Pant and Jaiswal’s confusing conversation has gone viral.
Pant and Jaiswal’s Viral Conversation:
The Indian fans are having the best time as the longest format of cricket came back on Indian soil. At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, India is facing Bangladesh in the first Test match of the two-match Test series. While bowling in the first innings, the Bangladeshi bowlers gave some tough competition to the Indian batters.
While opening the innings, Rohit Sharma departed back scoring only 6 runs. On the flip side, Yashasvi Jaiswal tried to carry the innings. After Virat Kohli’s dismissal, Pant joined Yashasvi. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant built a crucial 62-run partnership, rescuing their team from a tough spot. They experienced some mix-ups between the wickets.
At one point, Pant called for a third run after jogging for the first, causing confusion. Jaiswal had to dive to make his ground as Pant misjudged a boundary. Jaiswal shockingly said, “Slip ho gaya yaar.” Then Pant replied, “Bach gaya tha na?” That moment grabbed attention.

After almost six months, Team India returned to Test cricket. But the starting was not desired for the Rohit Sharma and Co. As India came to bat first, Rohit Sharma departed scoring only 6 runs. After that, Gill was dismissed on an unfortunate duck. Virat Kohli walked away scoring only 6 runs in 6 balls. Standing in that crucial situation, Yashasvi Jaiswal played a knock of 56 runs in 118 balls.
Pant and KL Rahul departed back scoring 39 and 16 runs. Team India was struggling at 144/6 when Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin came together for an outstanding partnership. They both reached half-centuries, with Ashwin eventually completing a century. Their unbroken 195-run stand was pivotal, lifting India to 339/6 by the end of the first day.
Ashwin achieved a significant milestone with this innings. He became the second cricketer ever to score 1,000 runs in the World Test Championship and has also taken over 100 wickets in this format. Jadeja and Ashwin finished their innings unbeaten, with scores of 86 and 102 runs, respectively.
