Can team India finish the match on Day 4?
With rain likely to play a role in the 4th day of the Test match, team India will want to take early wickets on Sunday in order to finish the encounter quickly before weather gods have their say in the match. A lot will likely depend on local boy Ravichandran Ashwin and his bowling partner Ravindra Jadeja, who will likely do the bulk of the hard work on turning Chepauk track today.
Notably, Bangladesh were off to a flying during the 2nd innings on Saturday as the openers put up a 62 run stand. However, a crucial wicket by Jasprit Bumrah and a 3 wicket haul by Ashwin put the visitors on the backfoot once again. The situation is even more exaserbated by the fact that experienced batter Shakib al Hasan is said to be suffering from a finger injury and may not be at his best today.
Meanwhile, Ashwin and Jadeja had played a crucial role with the bat during the 1st innings when the team were looking in a bit of a spot after the top order failed to perform. Ashwin got to his fastest ever century while Jadeja played a crucial 86 run knock to take the hosts to total of 376.
