In response to Bangladesh's total of 227, India lost three wickets for 72 runs during the first session of the second day of the second Test. Taijul Islam has been bowling brilliantly for the hosts dismissing the top three of the batting unit. His bowling was superb throughout the session but Shakib Al Hasan’s game intelligence which saved Bangladesh from the embarrassment of losing a DRS on an LBW appeal was the most discussed point.
Mehidy Hasan Miraj was bowling the 24th over of the innings and he bowled a delivery slightly outside off. Cheteshwar Puajra who was on the strike, advanced down the track but was beaten by the sharp turn and got trapped on the pads. There was a loud appeal from the team for LBW but the umpire turned it down. They were pondering upon the decision of taking a review but captain Shakib Al Hasan decided not to go for DRS displaying his brilliant skills as a captain.
The Bangladesh skipper also explained to one of his teammates in the interval between the overs how the ball would have missed the leg stump. The replays proved Shakib to be absolutely correct as the ball was missing the stumps. Social media users were impressed with Shakib’s understanding of the pitch and praised him on Twitter.

Out of equation
Lovely to see these forward lunges by Pujara & Kohli. Taking lbw out of the equation

Looking for opportunities
Pujara has a strike rate of just under 50, as he is looking for scoring opportunities on the back foot too. But in the drs era, the lbw is a big factor. So one has to be a bit careful about when to play back.

Is India made a mistake to choose 3 pacers and bench kuldeep yadav? Or Kl Rahul and Shakib Al Hasan have miss read the pitch

Not attacking
Is attack is the best defence or blocking everything is best ?? What we are seeing here is batsman intent is not attacking?

— Ranjay choubey (@ranjaychoubey)
Does white ball form impacts red ball form whether it is good or bad.
What say experts.
