IND vs BAN: KL Rahul Takes a Stunner at Second Slip to Help Jasprit Bumrah Strike - WATCH

In a stunning display of fielding prowess, KL Rahul took an exceptional catch at second slip to help Jasprit Bumrah claim his second wicket of the day, leaving Bangladesh reeling in the first Test match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Mushfiqur Rahim, who has been a thorn in India's side in the past, failed to make an impact this time around, edging a delivery from Jasprit Bumrah to second slip where KL Rahul pulled off a breathtaking catch. The dismissal has left Bangladesh struggling at 40/5 inside 13 overs.

Mushfiqur Rahim's innings was cut short at 8 runs off 14 balls, and his wicket has given India a firm grip on the match. Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep have been breathing fire with the ball, taking two wickets each, while Mohammed Siraj has chipped in with one wicket.

The catch was a testament to KL Rahul 's exceptional reflexes and fielding skills, and it has further energized the Indian team's quest for victory. With Bangladesh 's top order in shambles, India will look to capitalize on this momentum to take a stronghold on the match.

Watch the video of KL Rahul 's stunning catch here:

India, resuming from overnight 339 for six, were bowled out for 376 in their first innings, a total built around excellent knocks by Ravichandran Ashwin (113, 133 balls, 11x4, 2x6) and Ravindra Jadeja (86, 124 balls, 10x4, 2x6).

Their seventh-wicket alliance was worth 199 runs, which came off 240 balls, resisting the Bangladesh bowlers for 189 minutes across three sessions.

After that feisty effort, India needed a fine beginning to sustain the momentum, and Bumrah provided it by dismissing Shadman Islam (2).

Islam shouldered arms to a delivery, which was bowled to him from around the wicket, that cut back a bit, and the ball thudded on to the stumps.

Soon, Akash added the scalps of Zakir Hasan (3) and Mominul Haque (0) in successive balls to push Bangladesh into a spot of bother, as both the batters fatally played the wrong line.
