Some may have caught this by looking at the scoreboard of India's first innings in the Chennai Test. All the 10 batsmen who got out took catches. Naturally, the question may arise in the mind, is this the first example of a team being caught out in an innings against Bangladesh?
Bangladesh vs India, 1st Test
The answer is, yes. This is the first instance of all batsmen being caught out in an innings against Bangladesh in three editions. However, this is the fourth time that all Indian batsmen have been caught out in an innings in a Test at home.
This is the first instance of all batsmen being caught out in an innings against Bangladesh in three editions.
India's batsmen first suffered at home in the Hyderabad Test in 1988. In that Test against New Zealand, all 10 batsmen were caught out in India's first innings. 13 years later in 2001 in the Wankhede Test against Australia, all 10 Indian batsmen were caught out. This time also in the first innings.
After two decades, India did not see anything like this at home. In 2021, the catchy innings returned against England at this Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This time too, India got out with 10 catches in the first innings. Then today the same precedent was seen. Nazmul took three catches alone. And wicketkeeper Liton Das took four catches.
Bangladesh has been victim of such incident only once in three editions. It is only in this test version. In 2021, 10 Bangladeshi batsmen were caught out against West Indies in Mirpur. Yes, like India it was also Bangladesh's first innings in that Test.
