India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test, Bangladesh tour of India, 2019 - CommentaryIND vs BAN, 1st Test, Bangladesh tour of India, 2019 - Commentary

Swapnil Mahajan: It is strange to see Jadeja going wicketless in both the innings where every other Indian bowler has chipped in with a wicket.

Rahul Sangani: Its "Shamivaar on Shanivaar"..

ankit kumar pandey: It seems that Indian bowlers are always disturbed by tail.

Tanay: The wagging tail still bugging the Indian bowlers.

ais: This is where we miss the Bumrah yorkers.

MASROOR GUJAR: Although Mayank Agrawal failed yesterday to score a triple hundred,India is going to complete a triple hundred in WTC points in this Test.

Raghunath: Removing the tail is a problem for Indian cricket team.

Raghunadhaa: I want Bangladesh to give a good fight. Don't get surprised if Mehidy scores runs. He is a good batsman.

Md: Liton Das is arguably one of the best talent in this Bangladesh side. Its disappointing to see him throwing away his wicket every now and then after getting a good start. That's where the young players need to learn from seniors like Shakib and Rahim.

Ananthu: Another Bangla collapse is just a matter of time!

RPS: "Both are trying to unsettle Indian spinners? But i don't think that will last long."

Kushal: "Really looking forward to India's tour of Australia. If there is any bowling attack that can trouble Smith in this sort of form, it is India's."

Antony Abraham: "This is one of the best team India have ever produced and the masterpiece of this team is the pace attack and their fitness. Pacers are able to dislodge the top-order and spinners are complimenting them well and more importantly all the top 6 batsmen are scoring constantly."

Sharif: "Talking about the quality of opposition is always contentious, rather than arguing about it we should applaud the exceptional performance of this Indian team. Only blemish in this Test was the catching but INDIA has improved a lot in the last 12 months."

Tushar Gade: "India will definitely do well in New Zealand."

Ajay: "India needs to take slip catching very seriously. This constant switching of slip positions is going to haunt them in an away series"

Rithin: "It is true that the opposition has not tested India really. Those dropped catches in both the innings shows that there is lot more to improve. The final verdict can only be made after the New Zealand series."

Zak: "India team has been ticking all the boxes in the past two years. At home, Indians always had opposition on the mat and overseas, had given run for their money."

Ketan Raj: "I don't mind calling this the best Test team India have ever produced because this Indian side has a perfect mixture of strong batting line up, dependable all-rounders and the bowlers which can gave any team nightmares."

Amit: @ankit ray - "To say the opposition is weak and thus Indian gaps are not getting exposed is a false allegation. What gaps, every player is performing. Saha has also turned into a Superman. What else the Indian team need to do prove their no. 1 status. Win overseas? Guess what, they are doing that too."

Vijayendra Kosigi: @Ankit Ray, "Don't you think our teams were poor in 90s when they won nothing outside Asia the whole decade? Just cherish the greatness instead of questioning the quality of opposition."

Harsha Bhogle: As a young boy when I started following cricket, I read and heard of the ball being rolled along the ground from the first over to help the spinners. From there to see this quality of fast bowling is quite a dramatic and happy change. It is just wonderful to see.

Ankit Ray: "Rather than saying it's the best team India has produced in this format, it is better to say that this is the worst lot of opposition teams India is facing in this century. Absolute surrender by the oppositions and that has ensured that no gaps in India 's team are getting exposed."

Prashant: "This Indian team is not about big names but it's about those spectacular performances, you can't find big names except one or two like Kohli, Rohit but there are performers like Mayank, Umesh and Rahane etc."

Deepak Surana: "For a team which is playing Test cricket since 2000, Bangladesh have failed to create an impact. It's an overrated team. A win here a win there is all they have managed."

Madhav: "Shami should be introduced early in the second innings."

Vishal Bulbule: "It's nice to see India declare at a perfect time. They wanted Bangladesh to bat in the morning without any waste of time and conditions."

Chethan C R: "Everyone want to see some fight from Bangladesh here. I hope their senior batsmen come up the order and battle against this brilliant bowling attack of India."

Gaurav: India should now focus on batting till the first half of the first session of Day 3 and then declare the innings once a score of 500 or 550 is reached. Then the bowlers should go out tomorrow with all guns blazing on Bangladesh to pick up those 60 points of the WORLD TEST CHAMPIONSHIP.

Hitesh Rawal: How can someone have such confidence of hitting six to bring 200 in his 12th inning itself. Following the footsteps of GREAT.

Yuvraj Kadam: If Mayank keeps playing like this, he might break Bradman's record for fastest to score 2000 test runs.

Manoj: "Anyways from the last 12-13 years India have always been a stronger side at home, though the domination in last 2-3 years have been amazing. The real test starts when they go overseas. NZ tour early next year will be a litmus test for team India."

Narahari raju: "I don't think that even World eleven will be able to beat this Indian team."

Chandrasekhar: @Aayush, "Happy to see team India adopting this template, have been on the receiving end for long. Enjoying the success of Indian cricket now."

Arunachalam S: "I am really enjoying Jadeja's new approach with batting. Takes his time before going for his shots. He has matured as a batsman lately and completely deserves batting ahead of Saha and Ashwin."

Aayush: "I feel home Tests have a fixed template now whether India is batting first or second. The primary aim is to bat the opposition out of the match and then with the potent bowling attack that India possess now just go out at the opposition with all guns blazing."

Karthik: "Bring back McGrath & co to test this batting line-up of India."

Saurabh: @venkatraghavan "For that India needs to get all out which seems unimaginable from here."

V Venkataraghavan: "4/4. Is Abu Jayed doing a Kumble here?" --- Wait and watch!

Gaurav: "India have scored 217 runs today in just 2 sessions (58 overs), which means india is not just scoring runs but scoring at a good rate too. "

Santosh SR: Mayank has been so consistent in tests over the past year and he had a great outing when he played in shorter formats for Karnataka in the recent past with more than a decent strike rate. With Dhawan struggling, I feel Mayank should be given opportunities in shorter formats as well.

Vishal: Bangladesh's 4-bowler Plan coming back to bite them. And I don't understand why Mahmudullah isn't willing to bowl a few overs. 'The captain is relying on his main men to get wickets'

Ajay Morab: Given the fact that India are only three wickets down with two set batsmen in the middle, the side should be looking forward to posting a huge total to ensure that they need not need to bat in the second innings.

Sriram: Batting only once must be India's goal in this Test. Ground their bowlers into dust and probably declare tomorrow late evening in the dark like they did against SA.

Basava: Your Commentary on 59.3 is such that it made me have a goosebumps when you remembered GRV sir....Proud Kannadiga...Thank you cricbuzz for making us proud. 'That happens when a local boy is on comms'

Prince Kumar: Where is Prithvi Shaw? Why is he not in the frame of things? Shaw's 6-month ban will end with effect from November 17th and he has been selected in Mumbai's Syed Mushtaq Ali squad'

satish meena: The real test for Mayank starts during the overseas tours where bowlers like Pat Cummins, Kagiso Rabada and Trent Boult test his temperament. In Indian conditions he has established himself as an opener. 'He did well on his maiden tour of Australia, but the next Tests in New Zealand will teat his resolve further'

Vikas Raichur: What is the ideal score on this pitch for India to declare? 'A lead around 200 could be match-winning'

Nayeem: I know this is told many times already but you have to take 20 Wickets to win a Test Match. It is impossible to challenge the best batting line-up in Tests with only 4 Bowlers. Poor decision making from BD team management.

Arpit: This is a huge opportunity for Bangladesh, if they can get another wicket, they'll move into India's allrounders. Would love to see Bangladesh compete and make something out of this chance.

Amit: Mayank Agarwal has established himself as a Test opener in such a short span. Made debut at MCG and continues with his performances everywhere in whatever minimum opportunities he has got. He has sealed the spot for sure despite so much competition.

Khilji: A long leather hunt awaits Bangladesh unless something miraculous things happen!!

Kallol Mondal: Nobody is talking about Hanuma Vihari. Looks like he is reserved for the overseas tour.

Aashish: Pujara doing the Sharma job. Smacking at a strike rate of almost 75 is so unlike him.

Ayush: What has Rohit done here? Still in T20 mode. Should have happily left the ball, but was tentative with the drive. Got punished for it.

Abinash Das: Mohammed Shami is easily India's best test bowler at the moment. We just cannot wait to see his prowess with the pink ball where he will most likely wreak a never seen before havoc on the opposition. Kudos to Kohli and Team management for nurturing and encouraging the speedsters.

Harsha Bhogle: If you love test cricket, you would have enjoyed those spells from Ashwin and Shami. This is such a good bowling side now.

Jesmine: While Rahim is showing the resistance against Indian attack, it's necessary that other batsmen too anchor the innings from other end.

Vanshika Jain: With no support from fielders, Ashwin has to rely more on his bowling to hit the bails. Losing much deserved wickets to poor fielding.

Tanay: Would love to see this pair build a good partnership for Bangladesh and put up a fighting score.

Sourav: Somebody has to remind VK that Jaddu is also available for bowling.I think he has forgotten Sir.

Harsha Bhogle: Batting getting easier. The ball will get softer. And Bangladesh doing well to build a partnership. India will rue the dropped catches.

Karan: There has been no nail biting tests after the Ashes. 3 test series' are around the corner. I wish there are plenty of interesting finishes coming up.

Steves Eva: So this is the key combination of BAN in the absence of Shakib..

Deepak: With Ashwin and Jadeja being so consistent, Kuldeep Yadav might end up being the Stuart MacGill of India.

SGK: "When are we going to see Jaddu?" -- Sooner rather than later.

Mohd Javed: This world XI can beat India at Home! Smith, Nicholls(w), Faf du Plessis, Williamson(c), Root, Taylor, Stokes, Shakib, Cummins, Rabada, Yasir Shah

Sandeep: Sloppy, very very sloppy from skip & Vice-captain!

Ishant: Ishant is doing what Siddle was supposed to do during the Ashes. Terrific control by Ishant, building pressure and allowing his mates to be more aggressive, while picking a few wickets himself.

karthik: Even a World XI would struggle against this Indian team at home.

Siddhesh: I think credit should go to Virat Kohli for the performance of fast bowlers, He has been brave enough to ask for sporting turfs at home.

Aditya: So far all the 3 wickets have fallen on the last ball of the over. Good setup by the bowlers I believe.

Shahnil Tukdi: A lot of credit should go to the pitch curator for creating this green and competitive pitch!

Shubham Chaudhary: One more wicket now and Bangladesh would be under severe pressure.

Harsha Bhogle: Traditionally in India, you gasp when the spinners bowl. Not so this morning. It is the quicks who are forcing you to watch. Expect Shami to be very effective too

Nazeer: With Ishant, Umesh, Shami at best, who will be dropped when Bumrah returns? A good headache to have.

Deepak Surana: I am proud to say that I am witnessing the golden generation of Indian fast bowling!! Ishant, Shami, Bumrah, Yadav and Bhuvi!! Wow!

Harsha Bhogle: Bangladesh's best batsmen are batting at 5 and 6! They are struggling already on an excellent pitch.

Gattu: Is it a strategic mistake to bat first? Greenish pitch, seam and swing! Perfect for seamers. Good luck Bangladesh.

Winning Spirits: Mushfiqur Rahim is the best batsman for Bangladesh and he should bat at least at 4 today.

sagar: Don't forget its a home series. Indian bowlers are in very good shape. Losing toss should not matter a lot to the Indian team.

Winning Spirits: It's really interesting where India believes they need an extra pacer to trouble the Bangladesh batsmen while the visitors think they need an extra batsman to stop India..
