Hasan Mahmud became the first bowler from Bangladesh to take a five-wicket haul in India in Test matches during the first Test at M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.
Mahmud finished with the figures of 5/83 as India got bowled out for 376.
Abu Jayed had the previous best figures of 4/108 in 2019 in Indore.
Playing in just his fourth Test, the 24-year-old pacer dismissed Rohit Sharma (6 off 19 balls), Shubman Gill (0 off 8 balls), Virat Kohli (6 off 6 balls) and Rishabh Pant (39 off 52 balls) during the first day’s play.
