Watch: India's Rishabh Pant Hilariously Helps Bangladesh Set The Field on Day 3 of 1st Test

Watch: India's Rishabh Pant Hilariously Helps Bangladesh Set The Field on Day 3 of 1st Test: The first test-match of the two-match Test-Series between India and Bangladesh is currently going on at the Chepauk Stadium of Chennai. The Men in Blue currently have the advantage as they have taken a lead of 432 runs in the match.?

The duo of Shubman Gill (86*runs in 137 deliveries) wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant (82 runs in 108 deliveries) are looking in a really good nick out there in the middle for the Rohit Sharma-led team in third-day of the first-test in the city of Chennai on Thursday. 

Even though both of them started things off on a cautious note, they are showcasing an attacking intent as they are going after the Bangladeshi bowlers following the conclusion of the drinks break. 

Both of the youngsters were given lifelines as the Bangladeshi fielders dropped two-catches. The fielding setup of the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team was scrutinised by Tamim Iqbal and Ravi Shastri for showcasing a poor fielding effort in the field and also for showcasing a lack-of-intent. 

In what proved to be yet another impertinent example of how things are going on for the visitors, Pant was hilariously witnessed setting the field of Bangladesh on the third day of the first-test. 

?Abey yeha aayega ek fielder. Yeha fielder kam hai (Hey, make a fielder stand here. The number of fielders at this spot are less),? Rishabh told Najmul Hossain Shanto, pointing towards the leg-side region. 

The Tigers skipper in the end actually made a fielder stand in the mid-wicket region after the suggestion given by the Indian Wicketkeeper batsman

Interestingly, Men in Blue's former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had done something similar during the 2019 One Day Cricket World Cup. MSD had told Bangladesh?s Sabbir Rahman to change the position of a fielder and Rahman had gladly obliged.?

Rohit Sharma and his men have reached a score of 205 runs at the loss of three wickets at the lunch mark in their second inning and they have taken?a healthy 432 run-lead versus Bangladesh on the third-day of the first-test match on Saturday.

Gill and Pant are still batting at the middle and have crossed the 50 runs mark. They are involved in a partnership of 138* runs.

On the second day of the opening-test game, the visitors got all-out for a mere score of 149 runs in their first inning, giving the Indian Cricket Team a huge 227 run lead in the first-inning. Rohit Sharma and his men had scored 376 runs in their first inning.?
