Team India is set to take on Bangladesh in the 2nd Test of the series at Green Park, Kanpur. The last time India played a Test at this iconic venue was against New Zealand in 2021, a match that ended in a dramatic draw.
In that match, India set the tone with a solid first innings, thanks to Shreyas Iyer’s century and contributions from Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja. New Zealand, led by Tom Latham and Will Young, responded strongly before Axar Patel and R Ashwin brought India back into the game with their bowling.
Despite India’s efforts in the second innings, with Ashwin and Jadeja taking key wickets, the Kiwis managed to hold on for a draw, with Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel defying India in fading light. The thrilling contest left fans on edge until the final moments.
As India prepares to return to Kanpur, fans will be hoping for another exciting encounter, this time against Bangladesh.
