After the end of play on day one, India were in a dominating position against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens.
After bundling out Bangladesh for 106, India skipper Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara kept Bangladesh bowlers at bay while moving the scoreboard at a rapid pace.
Pujara brought up his half-century in the 36th over of the innings. However, soon after he (55) was sent back to the pavilion in the 40th over by Ebadat to leave India at 137/3. In the very same over, skipper Kohli brought up his 23rd half-century in the longest format of the game.
Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane ensured that the side did not lose any more wickets and India ended the day at 174/3. Kohli and Rahane were unbeaten on 59 and 23 respectively.
