CHEPAUK for long was a bastion of spinners and none expected fast bowlers to call shots. However, on Friday, India speedsters Jasprit Bumrah (4/50), Mohammed Siraj (2/30) and Akash Deep (2/19) bowled in tandem to torment the Bangladeshi batters and the visitors were bundled out for 149 in 47.1 overs on the second day of the Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.
Thanks to their efforts, the hosts are now in firm control of the match. At the end of second day's play, India had a sizeable lead of 308 runs. Spinner Ravindra Jadeja also chipped in with two wickets on a wicket that has been favourable for pacers so far. Despite taking a lead of 227 runs, Rohit Sharma & Co did not enforce the follow on and opted to bat for the second time instead. The skipper himself didn't last long but India were placed at 81/3 when stumps were drawn.
