Tamim Iqbal will never want to see this replay.

Missed stumping, missed run out, missed catches and bizarre DRS calls added to Bangladesh's woes on the first two days of the one-off Test against India. And Day 3 brought more misfortunes for the visitors as star batsman Tamim Iqbal got run out in a hilarious fashion.
The senior batsman looked settled from the start of third day's play but had to trudge back to the pavilion after getting involved in a calamitous mix-up with his partner Mominul Haque. Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar took full advantage of this situation as the former gathered the ball while running in from square leg fence and rocketed a throw to his teammate who calmed collected the red cherry and threw it on to the stumps at the non-striker's end to find Iqbal well short of his ground.
The opener was left irritated as he exited the scene by giving a stern look to his young teammate.
Viewers were definitely not impressed with this callous running between the wickets.

Tamim Iqbal Gave His Wicket(RunOut) As Protest For That No Ball & Virat Kohli's OUT Decison Which Wasn't Given By Umpire. #INDvBAN #INDvsBAN

Not quite the start Bangladesh wanted. Homework would have suggested that Umesh Yadav is quick and has an excellent throwing arm

Umesh rattled Bangladesh batsmen with pace while Ishant Sharma got some reverse swing as the visitors were left struggling at 125/4 at lunch. India had scored a mammoth 687 for 6 in their first innings.
