Bangladesh’s left-handed batsman Shakib Al Hasan played a superb 82-run knock. It was the 2^nd highest individual score in a Test innings by a left-handed Bangladesh batsman against India. The highest in this list is 151 by Tamim Iqbal at Dhaka in 2010.

Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim put on a fighting 107-run partnership for the 5^th wicket. It was Bangladesh’s second highest 5^th wicket Test partnership against India. The record is the 115-run partnership between Mohammad Ashraful and Aftab Ahmed at Chittagong in 2004.

Also, this 107-run partnership between Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim was Bangladesh’s 4^th 100+ Test partnership for any wicket against India. The other 3 are: 115 between Mohammad Ashraful and Aftab Ahmed for 5^th wicket (at Chittagong in 2004), 108 between Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim for 7^th wicket (at Chittagong in 2010) and 200 between Tamim Iqbal and Junaid Siddique for 2^nd wicket (at Dhaka in 2010).

Bangladesh skipper and wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim scored a brilliant half-century. At the end of the day, Rahim remained not out on 81, first ever Test half-century by a Bangladesh captain against India. The previous best was just 37 by Habibul Bashar at Chittagong in 2007.

Also it was the second 50+ score in a Test innings by a Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman against India. Mushfiqur Rahim himself was the first batsman to achieve that feat as he scored 101 at Chittagong in 2010.

At stumps, Bangladesh made 322/6, their third highest total in a Test innings against India. The top two in this list are: 400 at Dhaka in 2000 and 333 at Chittagong in 2004.

At stumps on Day 3, total three Bangladeshi batsmen scored 50+ runs (Shakib Al Hasan 82, Mushfiqur Rahim 81* and Mehedi Hasan Miraz 51*) in their first innings. It was the first time ever where more than two Bangladeshi batsmen scored 50+ runs in a Test innings against India and the 6^th time when 2 or more Bangladeshi batsmen scored 50+ runs in a Test innings against India.
