The Rohit Sharma-led side started the third day of play at 81/3, with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant at the crease. The duo provided a positive start to the team without losing any wicket in the first hour. Team India crossed a 368-run lead during the second innings of the match in Chennai.

At the time of writing, India are 155-3 after 45 overs, with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant at the crease. The home team is currently leading by 382 runs. They are hoping to add around 70-80 runs before the declaration on Day 3. The right-handed batsman could reach the triple-digit mark in the ongoing innings.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli fail to make an impact with the bat

India put in a great performance on the second day of the Chepauk Test against Bangladesh. After resuming their first innings at 339-6, they finished with a total of 376. Jasprit Bumrah was impressive with the ball, taking 4 wickets for 50 runs in 11 overs, as Bangladesh were bowled out for just 149 in their innings.

Rohit Sharma had another disappointing performance in the match. Rohit scored just five runs in the second innings after being dismissed for six in the first innings. Virat Kohli also struggled in the second innings. The right-handed batsman scored just 17 runs off 37 balls on Friday, September 20.

Virat looked to be in reasonable touch but was eventually caught out before being given the wicket by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. He could have been saved by a review as UltraEdge indicated he had made contact with the ball. The Men in Blue lost Yashasvi Jaiswal for 10 runs before the close of play on the second day.
