India breaks records in dominant test vs. Bangladesh on Day 4. During the second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur, India’s aggressive batting strategy under the leadership of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal changed the course of history. India achieved the milestone in just three overs on the fourth day of play in Test cricket, setting a record for the quickest team fifty. They not only smashed the record for the fastest team hundred, which they reached in 10.1 overs, but they also maintained this blazing start. The standout was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 68 off of 41 balls with the help of Shubman Gill’s rapid 11 (in 10 overs).
India’s innings ended with them declaring at 285/9, making Bangladesh’s chase difficult. The incredible synergy between Rohit and Jaiswal set the tone for a record-breaking day. England’s previous record of 4.2 overs was broken by reaching the 50 milestone in 3 overs. Not too long afterward, India broke their own record for the quickest century, which they had hit in 12.2 overs against the West Indies the previous year.
Jaiswal’s offensive strategy produced a run rate of more than ten runs per over. Even though Jaiswal and Gill lost Rohit for 23 after 11 deliveries, they continued to press the Bangladeshi bowlers. In his innings, Jaiswal hit two sixes and twelve boundaries.
India’s bowlers put instant pressure on Bangladesh’s second-inning team, reducing them to 26/2 at stumps. With 26 runs down, they had an uphill fight to win. India appears to be well on their way to a convincing victory, and on the last day, their pace and spin assault should be quite useful.
In addition to solidifying India’s lead in this Test series, this performance highlights their capacity to play aggressive cricket and set records in the process.
