India Trail By 95 Runs
On the fourth day of the Kanpur Test, Bangladesh was all out for 233 runs in their first innings. India began their batting in a T20 style, aiming to take control of the match. The Green Park Stadium was illuminated by a barrage of fours and sixes, with Yashasvi Jaiswal seemingly determined to send every ball out of the park. The scoreboard indicated just how much trouble the Bangladeshi bowlers were in against him.
India now holds the record for the fastest team fifty in Test cricket history, reaching 51 runs in just 3 overs. By the 10.1 over mark, India had scored 103 runs, setting a new record for the fastest team century. Before the tea break, India's score was 138 for 2, trailing Bangladesh's first innings total by only 95 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 72 runs off 51 balls before being bowled by Hasan Mahmud's low delivery. Just before the tea break, Shubman Gill was unbeaten on 37, while Rishabh Pant had 4 runs.
The pace attack of Bangladesh was left bewildered by the batting onslaught from Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma. However, the momentum shifted in the fourth over when Mehedi Hasan Miraz entered the attack. In his fourth delivery, he appealed for leg before wicket against Rohit, who was given out by the umpire. After reviewing the decision, Rohit managed to save his wicket, but was bowled on the very next ball, departing for 23 runs off 11 balls. India lost their first wicket at 55 runs.
Jaiswal reached his fifty in just 31 balls, marking the fourth-fastest fifty for India in Test cricket. At the 10-over mark, India had scored 99 runs, and Jaiswal quickly brought up the team century with a boundary off the first ball of the next over. After Rohit's departure, Jaiswal received solid support from Shubman Gill.
