The 25-year-old was caught by Nurul Hasan behind the stumps off Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s bowling in the 68th over.Pant had earlier scored 46 in the first innings of the first Test against the hosts. So far, he has scored 671 runs in 11 Test innings at an average of 61 this year, which includes two centuries and four fifties.Fans hailed Pant for stepping up when India required him the most.

That came after India lost their opening and senior batters early – KL Rahul (10), Shubman Gill (20), Virat Kohli, and Cheteshwar Pujara (24 runs each).While the top three batters fell prey to Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed got the big fish in the form of Kohli.The visitors were 278/7 after 76.3 overs at the time of writing, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Jaydev Unadkat at the crease. India will look to stretch their lead past 100 in the first innings in their pursuit of a 2-0 series win against Bangladesh and a top-two finish in the World Test Championship (WTC) table.Earlier on Day 1, Bangladesh scored 227 as Mominul Haque top-scored with 84, including a maximum and 12 boundaries.Ashwin and Umesh Yadav emerged as the pick of the bowlers for India with four-wicket hauls each. Jaydev Unadkat also scalped a couple of wickets on his Test comeback after a gap of 12 years.
