Spearheading the charge with the red cherry was Indian seamer Mohammad Shami who returned with superlative figures of 3 for 27 in his 27 over spell. The seamer wrecked through the visitors lower middle order after scalping back to back wickets of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz and standing a chance of picking up a hat-trick.
After the end of the day's play, Mohammed Shami revealed that he thought of a hat-trick during the tea break on day 1 of the first Test against Bangladesh in Indore.
Shami came really close to becoming only the third Indian bowler after Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan to pick up a Test hat-trick but couldn't enter his name in the elite list.
After the day's play Shami came out with his plans that he executed with clinical precision during his spells and also stated that he was thinking about the hat-trick.
"I came to bowl one change, so I had to think of the conditions and situation. Thought process is to bowl lines that are as tight as possible. I've been using the width of the crease for the last two years.
At stumps on Day 1, India ended at 86 for 1, trailing Bangladesh by just 64 runs with Cheteshwar Pujara (43 not out) and Mayank Agarwal (37 not out) at the crease.
