Hasan Mahmud Joins Dale Steyn To Record Rare Feat In 1st Test vs India

Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud has achieved a remarkable feat by joining the ranks of elite pacers alongside South African legend Dale Steyn. Mahmud became only the second visiting pacer since the year 2000 to take four wickets on the first day of a Test match in India. This impressive accomplishment took place during the first Test against India at Chennai's MA Chidambram Stadium.

During his scorching spell on the first day, Mahmud claimed 4/58 in 18 overs with an economy rate of 3.20. He dismissed top-order batsmen such as skipper Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0), Virat Kohli (6), and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant (39).

In a similar display of dominance, Dale Steyn had previously taken 5/23 against India in Ahmedabad back in 2008, helping South Africa secure a resounding victory by an innings and 90 runs.
