After Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja got India out of jail to post 376 in their first innings on the second day of the opening Test against Bangladesh in Chennai, Akash Deep turned on the heat with his bowling to hurt the visitors before lunch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Bengal and Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Akash Deep picked up back-to-back wickets in his second over to reduce Bangladesh to 26 for 3 in reply to India's 376.

Akash was introduced in the seventh over after Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah opened the bowling for the hosts, and made an instant impression by striking twice in as many deliveries in just his second over.
