Jayed believes that there are similarities between him and the Indian pacer since both use the seam of the ball. He even took tips from Shami with an aim to improve his bowling.

Jayed shone amid the ruins at Indore, picking up the first four Indian wickets to fall. He dismissed Rohit Sharma (6), Cheteshwar Pujara (54), Virat Kohli (0) and Ajinkya Rahane (86) to finish with figures of 4 for 108 in 25 overs.

Jayed is relatively new to Test cricket. Having made his debut against West Indies last year, he has so far played six Tests with 15 wickets at an average of 36.06 and a best of 4 for 59. In addition, he has played two ODIs and picked up 5 for 58 in his second game, a match against Ireland.

Coming back to the India-Bangladesh Test series, the teams will next face each other in the second game at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, starting from November 22. This will be the first ever day-night Test match in India.
