Pujara and Pant, Excellent Partnership: In the recent news in the cricket world, Bangladesh and India are having their first test match of the year, and that too when the year is ending. The Indian cricket team has toured BAN for some one-day international series and the test matches that were due.
Out of the three one-day international matches, India has managed to win only one, but on the other hand, BAN won two matches. Inefficient captaincy as well as the individual performances of the team is the main reason, they lost the first two one-day international matches against the Bangladeshi tigers.
However, the Indian players are now in a form to ensure they win all the test matches with BAN.
The Indian cricket team hopes to qualify for the world test championship, but it has conditions. To win the test championship or even qualify for it, India has to win all of the test matches it has to play until they reach the world test championship.

This year and extending into the first month of the next year, the Indian cricket team will play test matches against BAN. After the test series are over with BAN, the Indian cricket team will play against Australia. Against Australia, a couple of one-day international matches along with some test matches will be played.
For the cricket matches, the Australian cricket team will visit India, which is an advantage for India as they will be playing in their home ground.
However, let us now move on to the current test match that is going on between India and Bangladesh. So far, the BAN bowler has performed with some excellent spells and has dismissed some batsmen from the Indian Cricket team.
In the initial moments of the game, India wasn’t playing well because they had scored just 48 runs, and already three key players of the Indian cricket team were out. It truly is disappointing and such disappointment was shown by the coach too because the top order has drastically collapsed.
Taille Islam threw some excellent spells and managed to bowl out India’s key payer Virat Kholi. Other than taking out Virat Kohli, he also managed to bowl multiple dot balls. Apart from this, we can consider Taijul Islam as the better bowler in this test match because he is playing with players like Cheteshwar Pujara and is trying to take an edge both on the leg side as well as the off side.

Pujara isn’t a great batsman as he can’t play the spin ball well, but he sure can control the pacer and show him a few boundaries. In addition to the above fact, we have seen due t his history that he has been bowled out multiple times due to the spin bowlers.
However, things change for the Indian cricket team as soon as Rishab Pant enters the field. It’s the first bowl of Taijul Islam to pant and he is already bowling at a higher end giving the ball some flight and that too on round the wicket.
Taijul must have misjudged him because pant can hit the sweep shot very well. After a few minutes into the game, Pant had already scored 6 off 14 balls. Pant and Pujara went on to carry a long partnership to give India a lead in their test match against the Bangladeshi cricket team.
It will now be up to the bowlers, such as Ashwin to control the score and take quick wickets in the game.
