Despite losing significant playing time due to inclement weather, India displayed incredible resilience and dominance on day four of the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur. The hosts showcased an aggressive approach, both with the bat and the ball, to put themselves in a commanding position.
India’s bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, effectively restricted Bangladesh to a below-par total in the afternoon session. Bumrah’s excellent spell, which included three wickets, and contributions from other bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja helped dismiss Bangladesh for 233.
The Indian batting lineup then took center stage, delivering a blistering performance. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal set a new record for the fastest fifty in Test cricket history, racing to 50 in just three overs. Although Rohit was dismissed, Jaiswal continued to impress, scoring a rapid half-century.
India’s aggressive approach paid off, as they amassed a significant lead over Bangladesh by the end of the day. With a minimum of 40 overs remaining, India is well-positioned to further extend their advantage and potentially force a result in the match.
