Didn't expect it at all. Credit where it is due. Looks like our batting coach is spending time more with our lower middle order than top order :PKuldeep Yadav &amp; Ashwin put India in strong positionWhen Ebadot Hossain struck early on Day 2 to dismiss Shreyas Iyer, Bangladesh would have hoped to wrap up the Indian innings inside 320. But that wasn't to be, as Kuldeep joined Ravichandran Ashwin at the crease to give him great support.The two spinners showed why their batting is rated so highly as they built a steady partnership. Kuldeep used his sweeps and reverse sweeps to great effect and got some valuable runs for India alongside Ashwin.The left-hander would be gutted to miss out on his maiden Test half-century as he was trapped in front on 40. However, his highest Test score ensured that India's tail wagged once again when needed and are now in a good position in the Test.Bangladesh have already lost a wicket in reply and will need to bat really well to avoid conceding a first-innings lead.India XI: KL Rahul (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj.Bangladesh XI: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Zakir Hasan, Mushiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain.
