Shreyas Iyer reprieved after bails fail to dislodge (ICC Cricket)

Shreyas Iyer received a massive slice of luck late on day one of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Wednesday.

Bangladesh, however, managed a wicket in the very next over to break a solid 149-run partnership between Iyer and Cheteshwar Pujara. Incidentally, the bail was replaced only three balls earlier when it failed to light up, causing a delay in play. The Indian middle-order batter was on 77 when Ebadot Hossain breached his defence to hit the stumps.

Ind would want 400+. Ban would be hoping to bowl Ind out below 350. [December 14, 2022] But Taijul Islam, who did an incredible job for Bangladesh throughout the opening day, trimmed down India’s momentum by dismissing the well-set Pujara for 90. Both Pujara and Iyer smashed their respective half-centuries and were looking comfortable to take India to the stumps without any further damage. The tourists, after opting to bat first, had a terrible start as they lost three wickets for just 48 inside the 20 overs.

Pujara was dismissed shortly after Bangladesh took the new ball, as Taijul Islam bowled the India batter out 10 runs short of a century. Team India are playing without its full-time captain Rohit Sharma, who endured a thumb injury while fielding at slips during the 2nd ODI of the series against Bangladesh earlier this month. The 34-year-old senior India batter forged another important 149-run partnership with Shreyas Iyer, who remained unbeaten at the end of the day on 82. Shubman Gill (20) was the first to depart before Rahul (22) was castled by Khaled Ahmed. However, the ball barely caressed past the stumps and even as the bail was displaced by the impact, it didn't dislodge.

Indian batter Shreyas Iyer was very lucky in the last stages on day 1 of first Test vs Bangladesh as he stayed on despite getting clean bowled. Know here.

It was the last ball of the 90th over bowled by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, which caught Axar in front of the stumps. India lost their 6th wicket in form of Axar Patel who departed on the last ball of the day. One of the bails, teasingly, hung to the stumps somehow, making it one of the strangest incidents in international cricket. In the 84th over of the innings, an Ebadot Hossain delivery kept low and hit the bottom of middle and leg stump. Shreyas Iyer played a fine knock on the opening day of the first Test vs Bangladesh on Wednesday (December 14) at Chattogram. Iyer came in to bat with India struggling at 112/4 at the fall of Rishabh Pant.

The Test ended up in a thrilling draw with New Zealand's last wicket pair of Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel resisting the Indian bowling but for Iyer, the match will always remain special for many reasons.

It was a brilliant achievement as well and also to represent the country and do it when the world is watching you, is a phenomenal feeling. "I got a call-up right after the T20 World Cup for the series against New Zealand. "It was one of the best feelings. In November last year, Iyer had become the 16th Indian cricketer to notch up a 100 on Test debut scoring, something he still holds dear to him. Then I got selected for the Tests, which I wasn't expecting at that time. "I was prepared in my mind that whatever will happen, I am going to take it heads up, I'll be in my high spirits.

Iyer missed his second century by 14 runs, which would have come just over a year after his maiden Test hundred.
