India pacer Mohammed Siraj and Bangladesh batter Litton Das were involved in an ugly altercation during Day 2 of the ongoing first Test between the two teams in Chattogram on Thursday.

Mohammed Siraj gave the KL Rahul-led side the best possible start, sending Najmul Hossain Shanto back to the pavilion on the first ball of the Bangladeshi innings. However, things took an ugly turn a little while later after Mohammed Siraj began bowling to Litton Das.

After Litton Das came up with a forward defensive shot, the India fast bowler went up to him and the two players exchanged a couple of words with each other; the on-field umpire had to intervene to stop Litton Das from charging toward Mohammed Siraj after he went back to his bowling mark.

The drama didn't stop there as Mohammed Siraj uprooted Litton Das's stumps before giving him a grand send-off by keeping a finger on his lips.

After the day's play, the India quick bowler had three wickets to his name and also spoke about his altercation with Litton Das.

After a journalist asked Mohammed Siraj what he said to Litton Das, the Indian pacer said, β€œNo, nothing. I said, β€˜Ye T20 format nahi hai, ye Test cricket hai (this isn’t T20, this is Test cricket. Play sensible cricket.'”

Former India fast bowler Ajit Agarkar was pleased with Siraj's performance against Bangladesh on Day 2 of the first Test.

β€œThere is no weakness seen in his bowling. If you have to bowl fast through the air and pitch it up, he can do that. If you have to hit the length, he can do that. When the ball releases properly from his hand, there is outswing to the right-handers. So he has the ability and can do different styles of bowling. It has been a highlight of his career that whenever you see his bowling, he puts in his full effort in every over and every delivery. I am not saying that no one else does that but it has been a highlight,” Ajit Agarkar said on Sony Sports.

β€œThe lines were extremely tight and because he has the speed, when there is uneven bounce, the batters don't get time to adjust. Litton Das was looking good and if you have to dismiss a good batter who has spent some time, you need to have the ability which he has,” Ajit Agarkar mentioned.

While Mohammed Siraj was one of the stars of India's bowling show, Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the Indian bowlers, grabbing 4 Bangladesh wickets among the eight to fall during the day. Kuldeep Yadav's figures of 4/33 also included the big wickets of Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan.

β€œI was a bit nervous. I was very lucky to get the first wicket in the first over and got the momentum back,” Kuldeep Yadav said at the close of Play on Day 2.

β€œAfter a couple of overs, I started feeling well, mixed my pace and variations, tried both the angles β€” over the wicket and round the wicket. I was getting proper turn, I was actually loving it. After I got injured, I started working on my rhythm, trying to be a bit quicker β€” that’s helping me a lot,” Kuldeep Yadav added.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh's spin-bowling coach Rangana Herath was critical of his batters after the hosts lost eight wickets for 133 runs on Day 2 of the first Test in Chattogram.

β€œLosing eight wickets is disappointing, but you know this is Test cricket; another three days to go. We need to hang in there and we need to fight hard,” Rangana Herath said. β€œTest cricket is not easy, always testing your skill, testing your temperament, your patience, and there always is a situation, so in that case, you need to fight hard and have to have that gritty attitude.”

β€œWe are getting some momentum at some stage, but somehow we are losing that momentum. I don't think it's about technique but more about getting those decision-making right in certain situations,” he elaborated.

β€œThere is nothing wrong with the ability or skill, but we need to be more gritty on that and fight hard in the middle. Once you spend some time in there, you get kind of an easy situation. So we need to stay and wait for that time and that's what I expect from our guys,” the Sri Lankan great said.

β€œThere partnerships were well executed. They were 50 for 3 [48 for 3] at one stage,” Herath noted. β€œThere was one partnership with Rishabh [Pant] and [Cheteshwar] Pujara, then [Shreyas] Iyer with Pujara. You need to have that kind of partnership in Tests. If you look at Pujara's innings, he scored 90 but played a lot of balls with his gritty attitude so we need to have bigger partnerships.”
