2nd Test: Akash Deep's Twin Strike Leaves Bangladesh For 74/2 At Lunch
Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl first paid dividends when Akash made an early impact. After Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj kept things tight, Akash struck in his very first over, removing opener Zakir Hasan for a 24-ball duck. The delivery, bowled at 133.2 kmph, angled in and shaped away just enough to catch Zakir off guard. He was squared up and edged the ball towards the gully, where Yashasvi Jaiswal took a stunning low catch to give India their first breakthrough. The decision was reviewed by third umpire Rod Tucker, who confirmed the dismissal, leaving Bangladesh at 26/1.
Not long after, Akash struck again, this time trapping Shadnam Islam lbw. The left-hander, trying to work the ball to the leg side, missed a straight delivery that crashed into his pads. The on-field umpire initially gave it not out, but after a confident appeal from Akash and some encouragement from his teammates, Rohit opted for the Decision Review System (DRS).
