As Bangladesh are playing India in the first Test of a two-match series in Chennai, all eyes were on young pacer Hasan Mahmud, who made an early impact by rattling India’s top order.

In a spell that saw him dismiss Indian captain Rohit Sharma, followed by Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and then Rishabh Pant just after lunch, Mahmud reaffirmed his potential as one of Bangladesh’s upcoming brightest fast-bowling talents.

While his career in Test cricket is still in its early stages, Hasan Mahmud has already shown promise with his pace, accuracy, and wicket-taking ability.

Let’s take a closer look at Hasan Mahmud’s stats in Test cricket before the India vs Bangladesh 1st Test.

Early Test Career and Debut

Hasan Mahmud made his Test debut earlier this year against Sri Lanka in Chattogram in March-April. In that game, the 24-year-old made an immediate impact with his bowling, showcasing his ability to generate pace and consistently trouble batters with his front-on action.

He picked up a couple of wickets in the first innings but bettered his performance by grabbing four wickets in the second innings.

Mahmud’s introduction into Test cricket has been part of Bangladesh's broader strategy to groom young fast bowlers and reduce their historical dependence on spin bowlers.

Recent Performances

Before the India series, Mahmud was part of Bangladesh's victorious Test series against Pakistan, where he played a crucial role in his team’s 2-0 series win. His recent matches include:

• Bangladesh vs Pakistan at Rawalpindi, 30-Aug-2024:
  Hasan Mahmud bowled figures of 5/43 in the second innings after going wicketless (0/60) in the first. He also contributed with the bat, scoring 13* in the second innings.

  In the first match of the series, Mahmud took 2/70 and 1/20 across two innings, once again playing a pivotal role in Bangladesh's victory.

His best performance so far came against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, where he registered figures of 5/43 in a single innings. The young pacer also recorded his maiden five-wicket haul in the same match.
