Stay tuned for live updates as the match unfolds, with India looking to seal the series and Bangladesh fighting for a comeback.

On Day 4 of the 2nd Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur, India has set a new record by reaching 250 runs in just 31 overs, breaking the previous fastest 250 milestone in Test cricket. The record was previously held by England, who achieved the feat in 33.6 overs against Pakistan in Rawalpindi in 2022.

Match Overview

India’s batting lineup, led by KL Rahul’s aggressive 65* off 38 balls (strike rate of 171.05), pushed the team’s score quickly as they ended at 264/5 in 31 overs. Ravindra Jadeja joined Rahul at the crease with a cautious start, contributing 4 runs from 6 balls.

The Indian team maintained a high run rate, scoring 91 runs in the last 10 overs, despite losing key wickets to Bangladesh’s bowlers, particularly Shakib Al Hasan.

Shakib’s Key Wicket of Virat Kohli

One of the significant moments in the session was the dismissal of Virat Kohli, who played an aggressive knock of 47 off 35 balls. Kohli was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan, who delivered a tossed-up ball that drifted in, beating Kohli’s inside edge and crashing into the stumps. Kohli tried to swipe across the line but missed completely. The wicket marked Shakib’s third of the innings, adding pressure on the Indian batting lineup.

Scorecard Highlights

• India: 264/5 (31 overs)
• KL Rahul: 65*(38), including 7 fours and 2 sixes
• Ravindra Jadeja: 4*(6)
• Last Wicket: Virat Kohli bowled by Shakib Al Hasan for 47(35) [4 fours, 1 six]

Bowling Stats (Day 4 – Session 3)

India vs Bangladesh T20 Series Schedule

The first T20I will take place in Gwalior, followed by matches in Delhi and Hyderabad. Currently, both teams are playing the second Test of their series at Green Park in Kanpur. Fans looking to watch the T20 series live can follow the above steps to secure their tickets.

Rain continued to disrupt the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park in Kanpur, as Day 2 was entirely called off without a ball being bowled. Similar to the opening day, the match faced heavy rain and poor playing conditions, forcing an early decision to abandon play at around 14:00 local time.

The first day of the Test was also affected by weather, starting an hour late and allowing only 35 overs before rain and bad light halted the action. Despite attempts to dry out the outfield, the persistent downpour and wet ground conditions made it impossible to resume play on Day 2.

This marks the first full-day washout in a Test match in India since 2015. The pre-match weather forecast had already hinted at interruptions over the first three days, making the disruption unsurprising. On the first day, the overcast conditions helped Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl first, aiming to exploit the moisture on the pitch. However, Indian bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj struggled initially, and it was Akash Deep who provided key breakthroughs.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, showed resilience with Mominul Haque and Najmul Hossain Shanto putting together a strong partnership until Ravichandran Ashwin claimed Shanto’s wicket. By stumps on Day 1, Bangladesh were 107/3, with Mominul remaining unbeaten on 40.

The teams will now look to the third day, hoping for improved weather conditions to continue what could still be a gripping contest.

Brief Scores: Bangladesh 107/3 (Mominul Haque 40*, Najmul Hossain Shanto 31; Akash Deep 2-34) vs India.
