Hasan Mahmud's impressive performance against India underscores Bangladesh's shift towards a stronger pace attack. With emerging talents like Nahid Rana and Shoriful Islam, the team is moving beyond its traditional reliance on spinners.

In a team that wears its emotions on its sleeves, Hasan Mahmud is an exception. He doesn't believe in exaggerated celebrations, lacks the aggression of a pacer, but is fast becoming a master at making the ball talk.

Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud took three early wickets including star batsman Virat Kohli in Chennai to jolt India's top-order in the opening Test on Thursday.
