Such has been the case with Bangladesh batters that a good start is being cut short by some impactful Indian bowling. On Day 3 of the Chennai Test, their openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam put up 62 runs for the first wicket while chasing a humongous target of 515. But the lineup crumbled to 158/4 at the end of the day.
Zakir scored 33 and Shadman left after 35. Both Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim scored 13. Bangladesh batting coach David Hemp pushed batsmen to improve their beginnings into huge scores after stumps. He also remembered Bangladesh batsmen’ March trouble versus Sri Lanka, where their batting was scrutinized.
“We discuss it. Starting well is crucial, and after 20-30 balls, you acquire a sense of the game. You want to continue, especially with 30-40 runs. Hemp remarked, “You’re usually in when that happens.

Take advantage of your hard effort. Pakistan did it patchily. We’ll keep discussing and practicing it. Since we haven’t done that well, we must get in first. We struggled against Sri Lanka in March. We’re doing better. Ideally, hit 120 balls after 40-60. That will net you a fair prize “added.
Bangladesh’s batting woes continue
