IND vs BAN, 1st Test Day 2 Live: Here’s what Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of Day 2

(How difficult was batting yesterday morning?) “I wouldn’t say that difficult, but I was just thinking of my plan and thinking how to bat on that time on that wicket. I was trying to enjoy the wicket and enjoy the game. The way I was leaving the ball, it was quite good for me. (Did batting get easier as the day progressed?) I don’t think so, I was thinking I just needed to focus on each ball and watch the ball carefully. I was thinking about where I can score if I have the opportunities and I was just going for it.”

“There was so much swing on offer, there was enough seam movement on offer, there was enough spice to keep everybody interested. Weather – we are starting at 30, it’s going to get hotter as the day progresses. With the heat, we saw what happened in the last session. It was very easy to bat on, runs came in a flurry. Today at the start, the new ball will be taken by the Bangladesh team and they’ll make use of the conditions which is considerably different to last morning which had a lot more juice for the fast bowlers. If India get through the first half an hour, we can expect a big score from both these batters and probably the lower order can chip in as well,” Dinesh Karthik and Murali Kartik’s pitch report.
