Shant is still looking at the positives after losing the first match

Nazmul Hossain Shantor's team lost by a big margin in the first Test in Chennai today. Despite losing by a record margin of 280 runs, the Tigers skipper is taking exception to the delivery of the bowlers in this Test. He told the broadcast after the match.
The first two sessions of the Test were exclusively for Bangladesh. Bangladesh put India under pressure after being bowled out for 144 runs by 6 wickets. But Ashwin's 6th century of his career, 199-run partnership with Jadeja turned India right around. India's first innings ended at 376 runs.
Although he did not get success with the ball later, the first innings was positive in Shanta's eyes, "Taskin-Hasan's bowling is a positive aspect in this Test." The way they bowled for the first 2-3 hours of the first innings, the Indian batsmen were under a lot of pressure. Although later they turned around. We used the new ball very well. However, I could not maintain that consistency.
The target for Bangladesh was 515 runs. Shanto-Shakib had to create history to win in the fourth innings. Of course that didn't happen. Bangladesh's fourth innings journey ends at 234 runs. Bangladesh went up to 234 thanks to captain Shanta's 82 runs.
Shanto said about this fifty after 10 innings, 'I always try to contribute to the needs of the team. I really enjoy batting. Try to bat as long as possible. The Kanpur Test is important for us. The bowlers are doing well, hopefully the batsmen will also get back into rhythm soon.'
