Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, though, downplayed all of the visitors' worries, saying that they were "overthinking" the situation.
"It is not acceptable to overanalyze the fact that we lost four wickets. We need to score around 80 runs (or 100 runs). We won't be under pressure if a batter calms down, "added Siraj.
While acknowledging that Bangladesh were likely ahead because to the four wickets, Siraj voiced confidence in the batting lineup's up-and-coming players.
"A few further wickets were lost by us. We shouldn't worry too much, though. Rishabh, Shreyas, and Ashwin are also scheduled to arrive "added Siraj.
Axar Patel, whose move to No. 4 generated discussion on day three, maintained his perfect record on 26, with nightwatchman Jaydev Unadkat joining him.
In reference to Axar's promotion, Siraj stated that the management believed that the "bowlers can struggle with altering their lines" when there is a left-right duo in the middle.
