IND vs BAN 2nd Test reactions: India pulled off an incredible victory with one-and-a-half sessions to spare after two-and-a-half days were washed out at Green Park in Kanpur. In a testament to their attacking style of play and great belief, India began day four yesterday with only one thing in mind – winning.
After knocking Bangladesh over for 233, India broke all sorts of records. As they ran the Tigers ragged in 34.4 overs of mayhem – starting off with 50 off three overs – it seemed like an India win was inevitable.
Why? Because the bowling attack is one hell of a unit led by a mastermind – Jasprit Bumrah. The superstar fast bowler led the way, taking three-wicket hauls in both innings to finish his 38th Test with 170 wickets at a mind-boggling average of 20.18.
Everyone else in the attack contributed across the two days. Akash Deep was an epitomy of consistency. Mohammed Siraj’s day four bowling – and brilliant catch – kept India within sight. And, of course, R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja is a cheat code in these conditions, with Jadeja fast-tracking India’s win on the final day with three wickets in his first three overs.
For Bangladesh, this is a big return to earth after the highs of the series win in Pakistan. They had no answers for the class of the Indian team, including Yashasvi Jaiswal who once again showed his incredible ability to bat effectively according to the situation.
