India Sets Massive 515-Run Target for Bangladesh
Team India has given Bangladesh a challenge of 515 runs to win the first Test match. Team India declared their second innings on 287 runs on the third day. The Indian Team had a first-innings lead of 227 runs. So Bangladesh has got 515th target. In India’s second innings, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant made a great partnership. Also, both hit individual half-centuries.
It was on that basis that India managed to reach the 500 mark. Now, after the batsmen, the Indian bowlers will have the responsibility to quickly wrap up Bangladesh in the second innings as well as in the first innings.
