India are currently taking on Bangladesh in the first Test of the two-match series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While the two Asian nations were locked in battle on the field, a completely different banter was taking place in the commentary box between former India ll-rounder and head coach Ravi Shastri and his co-commentator and legendary Bangladesh batter Tamim Iqbal. In fact, at one point of time, Shastri even hilariously compared Tamim to Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Ravi Shastri's Hilarious Arnold Schwarzenegger Dig At Tamim IqbalWhile Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were batting in full flow during the third innings, they slammed the Bangladesh bowlers all over the park. In fact, they were batting at an extremely fast rate and hitting a number of sixes all over the ground. Speaking about the six-hitting abilities of these two batters in the commentary box, Tamim Iqbal said that one needs muscle and power to clear the boundaries in Test cricket. His co-commentator however disagreed at the fact and argued that all that was needed was timing.After some friendly banter for a while, Shastri said that even though Tamim is not built like Arnold Schwarzenegger, he still managed to hit 41 Test sixes, the most by any batter from the country.“Why are you complaining? You're not Arnold Schwarzenegger, and you hit the most sixes for Bangladesh! 41 sixes!" Shastri told Iqbal India Set 515-Run Target For BangladeshIt was Bangladesh who won the toss and decided to bowl first as the match. India were reduced to 144/6 on Day 1, with only Yashasvi Jaiswal showing some resistance with a half-century. It was then the Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja show as the duo put on 199 runs for the 7th wicket. Jadeja got out on 86, but Ashwin went on to slam 113, his 6th Test century. India were all out for 376 in the first innings.The Indian bowlers have breathed fire in the second innings as Bangladesh were bundled out for 149. Jasprit Bumrah has led the charge with 4 wickets, while Akash Deep, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj scalped two wickets each.On Day 3, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant scored twin centuries, as India declared at 287/4. They thus took a lead of 514 runs, and Bangladesh now need to score 515 to win.
