India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Do you, like Manjrekar, believe that Rohit and Kohli would have had a better time of it on Day 1 had they played the Duleep Trophy? Remember that Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja had also given the first-class domestic tournament a miss.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Rohit Sharma fell after scoring six runs in 19 balls while Virat Kohli was dismissed having scored six in six. Both players fell at a time when the conditions were especially tricky for batters and one might say that they contributed to softening the ball and making it easier for those that came after them but former batter Sanjay Mankjrekar felt that they would've had done better had they played in the Duleep Trophy.

“Considering the amount of international matches that they've played in the last five years, they could've been picked for he Duleep Trophy. I am sure that time out in the middle would have helped them in the first innings where they suddenly came out cold and having had to bat first,” he said on ESPNCricinfo.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Bangladesh have never bowled India out in an innings of a Test match. It looked like they would easily break that run at the end of the first two sessions of the first day. Now though, it's a different story.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: India scored 88 runs and lost three wickets in both the first and second sessions of Day 1. In the third session though, India's score was 163 for the loss of no wickets at all and that is where they may have won the match already.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Their 195-run stand is the highest partnership for the seventh or a lower wicket on the first day of a Test match. Previous highest was 186 by Jesse Ryder and Daniel Vettori vs India in Hamilton in 2009.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Before Ashwin and Jadeja took the game away from Bangladesh, their fast bowler Hasan Mahmud was he main topic of conversation. He ended the day with figures of 4/58. It is just the second time that a visiting fast bowler has taken four wickets or more on Day 1 of a Test match in India. The last man to do it was the incredible Dale Steyn in Ahmedabad in 2008 when he took figures of 5/23.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: With this century, Ashwin has become the fifth player to have multiple fifers and centuries at the same venue. The other four were the legendary Garfield Sobers at Headingley (two centuries and two five-fors), Kapil Dev in Chennai itself (two centuries and two five-fors), Chris Cairns in Auckland (two centuries and two five-fors) and Ian Botham at Headingley (two centuries, three five-fors).

India vs Bangladesh Live Score 1st Test, Day 2: Ashwin had an extensive chat with the broadcasters after he regaled his beloved Chepauk crowd with yet another masterful century, his second consecutive ton at the ground. Here is what he said:

"It is always a special feeling to play in front of the home crowd. This is a ground I completely love to play cricket in. It's given me a lot of wonderful memories. The last time I got a hundred, you were the coach Ravi bhai (he tells Ravi Shastri who was asking him the question). It does feel special. It helps that I have come back at the back of a T20 tournament (TNPL), worked quite a bit on my batting. Of course, I have always been wafting my bat around outside off-stump. Worked on a few things and on a surface like this with a bit of spice, if you're going after the ball, might as well go after it really hard like Rishabh does. It's an old Chennai surface with a bit of bounce and carry. The red soil pitch allows you to play a few shots if you are willing to just get in line and give it a bit of a tonk when there's width. He (Jadeja) was of real help, there was a point in time where I was really sweating and getting a bit tired, Jaddu noticed it quickly and guided me through that phase. Jaddu has been one of our best batters for our team in the last few years. Him being there, pretty solid and he was also very helpful in terms of telling me that we don't have to convert twos into threes which was really helpful for me. (How will the pitch behave tomorrow?) It's a typical, old-fashioned Chennai pitch where overspin will fetch a bit of bounce. The wicket will start doing its tricks much later in the game. There's enough in it for the quicks, good carry, good bounce if we present the seam nice and hard. The new ball will do a bit, there'll be some help for the bowlers, we'll have to start afresh tomorrow. There's a bit in the pitch, it's still damp underneath, so hopefully as it dries out, it quickens up."
