India lost three wickets. However, Rishabh Pant stepped up again and he got the support from Shubman Gill. Both of them smashed centuries and help India post big total.
Rishabh Pant stole the show with a scintillating century in the first Test against Bangladesh which is being played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, on September 21 (Saturday). The star wicket-keeper batter has now surpassed legendary MS Dhoni with this ton in the match. He now has 6 Test tons, MS Dhoni also has 6 hundreds but he had it 144 innings and Pant reached this astonishing mark in just 58 innings.

On Day 2, India lost three wickets. However, Pant stepped up again and he got the support from Shubman Gill. They both hit their century, putting the opposition side on the defensive. In addition to placing India in a commanding position, their partnership of 167 runs gave Bangladesh a daunting total that they may not be able to meet in the last innings against a bowling lineup that had already dismissed them for just 149 runs in their first innings.
India give Bangladesh 515 runs target
India posted 376 in the first innings with the help of Ashwin's ton and later bowled Bangladesh out on 149 runs to gain a huge lead of 227 runs. Then Pant and Gill's century powered India to raise their lead to 514 runs before Rohit Sharma decided to call off the innings when India's score was 287/4. Bangladesh now have a 515 run target in front of them.
