Rishabh Pant struck a century on his return to test cricket as India reduced Bangladesh to 158-4 at stumps on day three of the first test.

CHENNAI: A sublime century by Shubman Gill (119 not out) and a hard-hitting 109 by Rishabh Pant helped India set a mammoth target of 515 runs for Bangladesh on the third day of the opening Test at Chepauk here on Saturday.

Centuries from opener Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant helped India close in on victory in the first Test despite a spirited start to Bangladesh's chase for their target of 515 in Chennai on Saturday. Left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman Pant smashed the bowlers to all parts of the ground before a double off Shakib gave him his sixth Test century.

Bowling out the visitors for 149 to consolidate 308-run lead, India prove their bare minimum is good enough to beat Bangladesh twice over
