Shoaib Bashir was brought back to the England Test side during the Ranchi Test, being dropped in the Rajkot Test. Coming in to bat when England were 347/8, he did not contribute to the innings, going for a 2-ball-duck.

When Bashir came in to bat, Sarfaraz Khan joked that Bashir wouldn’t understand Hindi, but the off-spinner surprised the middle-order batter by speaking in Hindi, which led to Khan shouting out “badhiya”.

Arre yaar, isse pata hai kuch kaisa khelna hai? Isse Hindi nahi aati hai, badhiya chalo. (He knows how to play? He doesn't know Hindi.)
Sarfaraz said

Bashir then said he knows a little bit. “Thodi thodi Hindi aati hai. (I know a little bit of Hindi).”

Bashir was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja on his 2nd ball. The rookie went to slog the ball above mid-off, but edged it to Rajat Patidar at point. England finished their inning with 353 runs on board, with Joe Root top scoring with 122*.

Coming to bat at three, wickets kept falling at one end, but the 18-year-old gritted his way through and scored a double century. Thanks to his double century, Mumbai managed to reach 384 runs, with the 2nd highest scorer being Hardik Tamore with 57 runs. 

Meanwhile, India did not finish the day well. They lost seven wickets for just 219 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his brilliant form, scoring 73 off 117. Shubman Gill scored 38 before getting out to Shoaib Bashir. The middle order collapsed, with India losing six wickets in a span of 91 runs. Kuldeep Yadav and Dhruv Jurel are in the middle, with India trailing by 134 runs.
