For Bangladesh, young fast bowler Hasan Mahmud showed his brilliance by taking 5 wickets while on the second day, Taskin Ahmed took 3 out of 4 wickets.

The innings did not last long on the second day.

On Friday, September 20, Team India took its first innings forward by 339 runs at Chepauk Stadium. Once again, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja came on the crease, who had pulled Team India out of a difficult situation on the first day. The partnership of both started on the first day when Team India had lost 4 wickets for just 166 runs. From here, both handled the innings and then brought Team India to a strong position. During this, Ashwin scored another century on his home ground, while Jadeja came close to a century.

On the second day, Jadeja had a chance to convert his innings into a century but it could not happen. In the third over of the day, he was caught in the slip off the ball of pacer Taskin Ahmed. He could not add any runs to his score of 86 runs and missed his fifth Test century. After this, Akash Deep made an important contribution of 17 runs but Ashwin could add only 10 more runs to his score. Both of them were also dismissed by Taskin. Ashwin was dismissed after playing a memorable innings of 112 runs. At the same time, the last wicket fell in the form of Jasprit Bumrah. In this way, the Indian team was all out within an hour and a quarter on the second day.

5 wickets for Hasan Mahmud

The star of the second day for Bangladesh was Taskin, who took 3 out of the last 4 wickets, but the star of this innings proved to be young fast bowler Hasan Mahmud. This 24-year-old pacer, who is playing only his fourth Test, completed his 5 wickets in the innings by dismissing Bumrah. He had wreaked havoc by taking 4 wickets of Team India's top order on the first day itself, which put the Indian team in trouble. Overall, Mahmud, who took 5 wickets in an innings against Pakistan a few weeks ago, has continued his same form in India as well and has also given a warning to Team India for the remaining innings of the series.
