The bad light stopped play and later forced early stumps as India are cruising in the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai. India declared their innings at 287/4 following Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant's tons and set a huge target of 515 runs to chase for Bangladesh, who already are four down.
Shubman Gill, the vice-captain for the Sri Lanka T20 and ODI series, is likely to be rested for the upcoming T20 series against Bangladesh starting October 6 in Gwalior. Gill and several other Test players might not be considered for the assignment since it is sandwiched between two series.
