India Sweeps Series with Record Kanpur Test Win

News summary

India secured a commanding seven-wicket victory against Bangladesh in the second Test at Kanpur, achieving a 2-0 series sweep and solidifying their lead in the World Test Championship standings. The aggressive approach, dubbed 'Bazball Pro Max', saw India bat at a high run rate and make rapid bowling changes, leading to Bangladesh being bowled out for just 146 on the final day. Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja each took three wickets, while Yashasvi Jaiswal's second fifty of the match helped India chase down the 95-run target swiftly. Ashwin's performance earned him his 11th Player of the Series award, equaling Muttiah Muralitharan’s record. Under Rohit Sharma's leadership, India's attacking strategy and quick scoring, including breaking records for the fastest team scores, were crucial in forcing a result despite adverse conditions. This victory marks India's 18th consecutive home series win, reinforcing their dominance in Test cricket.
