India vs Bangladesh 1st Test Day 1 Live Score: Shubman Gill and KL Rahul added 41 runs for the opening wicket after India won the toss and opted to bat.

India have played only a handful of Tests this year and the outcome has not been an ideal one. Rohit Sharma, who was initially part of the series, was sent back to India after he injured his thumb. Taijul Islam bowls it quick in the air, as Pujara bends and plays the ball with soft hands. He was seen doing the same in the opening session. He then craftily guides a back of a length ball for a boundary towards the third man region. India will look to add at least 100-125 runs in the remaining time, and hope they don't lose too many wickets in the process. Ebadot Hossain pitches it up and wide and Shreyas Iyer drives it towards the cover for a boundary. He plays a pitched up delivery in the gap on the onside, which results in four. Shreyas Iyer charges down the track against Mehidy Hasan and goes for the aerial route. Now Pujara gets innovative as he shuffles in the crease and plays a late sweep behind the wicketkeeper for a boundary against Mehidy. He cuts it in the gap between the fielders as the shots races to the fence. Catch Highlights of India vs Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) 1st Test Day 1.
