Hasan Mahmud has been a standout performer for Bangladesh in the ongoing first Test against India in Chennai, delivering a fiery spell that left the Indian batting lineup in disarray. His stellar performance caught the attention of West Indian cricket legend Ian Bishop, who took to Twitter to express his admiration for the young pacer.

During the first session of the match, Hasan wreaked havoc by dismissing key Indian batters Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli. His aggression didn’t stop there—right after lunch, he claimed the crucial wicket of Rishabh Pant, further denting India's hopes of building a strong total.

Ian Bishop, a revered figure in the world of fast bowling, was impressed with Hasan's precise bowling. In his tweet, Bishop wrote, " Hassan Mahmud has just been bowling the correct length, full enough without over pitching. Lovely to see." Bishop’s praise is significant, as the former West Indian fast bowler was known for his ability to dismantle top-order batters during his career in the 1990s.

Hasan’s performance also earned applause from renowned Indian cricket commentator and analyst Harsha Bhogle.

This spell by Hasan Mahmud comes as a continuation of his excellent form, following his stellar performance in the last series against Pakistan, where he claimed eight wickets. Before this match, the 24-year-old pacer had 14 wickets in just three Tests, and his four-wicket haul in Chennai proves he is emerging as a force to be reckoned with in Test cricket.
