Popular commentator Harsha Bhogle took to social media platform X to express his admiration for Hasan Mahmud's outstanding performance in the ongoing India-Bangladesh Test at Chennai. Bhogle’s tweet highlighted how surprising the conditions were at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, known for favoring spin, and how perfectly Mahmud exploited them.

"Such a good toss to win and Bangladesh have taken full advantage of it so far. But who would have thought you would come to Chennai and get these conditions," Bhogle wrote.

He went on to praise Mahmud, saying, "Very impressive from Hasan Mahmud. Perfect bowler for these conditions. Just the right pace and the ability to move it both ways. Interesting to see how long this spice lasts."

Winning the toss and opting to bowl, Bangladesh couldn't have asked for a better start to their first Test against India. Hasan Mahmud was on fire, dismantling India's top-order with precision and pace. The 24-year-old pacer from Bangladesh sent India's captain Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0), and Virat Kohli (6) back to the pavilion in a devastating spell that left India reeling at 88/3 at lunch. Hasan's figures of 7-2-14-3 reflect his brilliance in a spell that will be remembered for a long time.
