India captain Rohit Sharma once again proved his astute captaincy skills as the team bounced back from a weather-related setback in the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh to clinch a series-sealing win. As India took on Bangladesh in the 2nd Test at Green Park Stadium, more than two days’ play was washed out due to rain and wet outfield in Kanpur, prompting the hosts to come up with an ultra-aggressive strategy when the game resumed on Day 4. On the 5th day, Rohit came up with an exquisite plan to dismiss Bangladesh’s Mominul Haque, the team’s top-scoring batter in the first innings. Rohit’s masterplan even impressed Sunil Gavaskar, who was doing commentary during that phase of play.

Rohit placed a leg-slip fielder in place for Mominul as the Bangladesh batter came up against Ravichandran Ashwin in the second innings. Placed a leg-slip, KL Rahul made no mistake as he produced a fine catch to help Ashwin send Mominul packing. While Ashwin and Rahul both deserved praise for the dismissal, Gavaskar was highly impressed with Rohit’s captaincy.

“Great captaincy from Rohit Sharma. He fully deserves the credit here, putting a leg slip for someone like Mominul who plays the sweep shot a lot,” he said after the Bangladesh star’s dismissal.

As for the match, India secured a 7-wicke win to wrap up the series 2-0. Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja bagged three wickets each in the second innings to ensure that India only got a 95-run target to win the contest.

With the bat, Yashasvi Jaiswal gave the team another flying start at the top while Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant gave finishing touch to the triumph.

“Helmet Se LBW Nikal Sakta Hai”: Rishabh Pant’s Hilarious Stump Mic Chatter vs Bangladesh

admin — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 13:57:12 +0000

India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant is often an animated figure behind the stumps, and he was at his enthusiastic best against Bangladesh in the second Test at Kanpur. In fact, Pant came up with another hilarious piece of advice for India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, as India tried to dismiss well-set Bangladesh batter Mominul Haque. With Mominul coming low and looking to sweep Ashwin on every ball, Pant suggested that Ashwin can trap Mominul leg-before-wicket (LBW) even by hitting his helmet. “Helmet se ek LBW le sakta hai bhai (You can get him out LBW with his helmet),” said Pant to Ashwin from behind the stumps.

With Mominul standing at a height of barely 5’3″, him coming down to sweep would cause even his head to come near the line of the stumps. This prompted Pant to lend his spontaneous advice to Ashwin.

However, Mominul ended up surviving every Indian bowler, en route to a fantastic 13th Test hundred and his first on Indian soil. He remained not out on 107, as Bangladesh were bowled out for 233.

On the other hand, Ashwin picked up the wickets of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan, to end with figures of 2/45 in 15 overs.

India vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test Day 4: As it happened

Rohit and Jaiswal helped India reach fifty in just three overs.

While Rohit got out soon after, Jaiswal continued the momentum alongside Shubman Gill. India reached the 100-run mark in 10.1 overs, also the fastest to that score in Test history, beating their own record from 2023, when they achieved 100 in just 12.2 overs against West Indies.
