India Wins Series, Sets Fastest Test Scores

India secured a 2-0 series victory over Bangladesh with a remarkable seven-wicket win in the rain-hit second Test in Kanpur, extending their record to 18 consecutive home Test series wins. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma led the charge, breaking multiple records for fastest scores in Test cricket and achieving 50 runs in just 18 balls. Despite losing two-and-a-half days to weather, India showcased aggressive batting and dominant bowling performances from Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja. Highlights included Jaiswal's 31-ball half-century, Virat Kohli’s reaction to Akash Deep hitting consecutive sixes with a bat gifted by him, and Jadeja achieving his 300th Test wicket during Bangladesh's innings. The team's resilience and record-breaking play consolidated their lead in the World Test Championship. The victory was also significant for players like Akash Deep, who impressed with both bat and ball.
