Thrilling India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Shocking Rohit Sharma Blunder as Bangladesh Surpass 100!
India vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test Day 1: Key Highlights
The first day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur saw early breakthroughs for India, bolstered by a strong performance by their bowlers. The match kicked off with India’s captain Rohit Sharma winning the toss and electing to bowl first. India’s squad remained unchanged while Bangladesh made two adjustments.
In the first session, Bengal pacer Akash Deep stole the show by removing both Bangladesh openers. Zakir Hasan’s stint ended for a 24-ball duck, thanks to a stellar catch by Yashasvi Jaiswal at gully. Akash Deep continued his momentum, dismissing Shadman Islam (24) through a brilliant DRS decision. However, India later squandered two DRS reviews with unsuccessful challenges.
Post-lunch, Bangladesh’s captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was trapped LBW by R Ashwin, who broke an essential partnership and achieved a big wicket. Prior to Ashwin’s breakthrough, the second session began cautiously, with Bangladesh adding just four runs in the initial two overs. Juggling bowlers between Ashwin and Akash Deep kept the conditions unpredictable for the Bangladeshi batsmen. Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim tried to stabilize Bangladesh’s innings with gritty performances, with Mominul hitting some exquisite boundaries, including a beautiful cover drive and an uppercut off a short delivery. Mushfiqur, with over 80 runs, remains within striking distance of a significant personal milestone of 6,000 Test runs.
Despite some aggressive field settings by Rohit Sharma, Bangladesh’s batsmen managed to hang on, even as they faced relentless attacks from the Indian bowlers. Weather forecasts predicted potential rain interruptions, which only added to the day’s intensity.
By Lunch, Bangladesh was at 74/2, with Shanto (28) and Mominul (17) at the crease. The skies threatened with drizzle, but play resumed with India striving for more breakthroughs while Bangladesh aimed to build a stable partnership under overcast conditions.
Overall, Day 1 saw competitive cricket with India’s bowlers leveraging the conditions effectively and Bangladesh’s batsmen fighting to stabilize their innings.
