Just after the fall of Shubman Gill’s wicket, India lost their three wickets only on the score of 48 runs in 19.3 overs. Then the young wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant scored 46 runs off 45 balls and stitched a partnership of 64 runs for the third wicket.

But Rishabh Pant fell prey to Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the 32nd over of the innings and it was the fourth wicket of the Indian team on the first day of the series opener. It was also the time when the pair of Pujara and Iyer took the charge and added a brilliant partnership of 149 runs for the fourth wicket. Although, team India lost their fifth wicket in the form of Pujara (90 runs) as day 1 was nearing its end.

At the end of the day’s play, Axar Patel was accompanying Shreyas Iyer. Iyer ended up scoring an unbeaten 82 runs but Axar Patel ended up getting out on the last ball of the day off Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Eventually, India ended on the score of 278 runs for the loss of six wickets
