India Sweeps Bangladesh in Test Series

India has achieved a decisive 7-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the second Test at Kanpur, completing a 2-0 series sweep and reinforcing their top position in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 points table. Despite significant rain interruptions that led to the loss of over two days of play, India's bowlers excelled, dismissing Bangladesh for just 146 runs in their second innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal shone with the bat, scoring 51 runs, while Rohit Sharma's aggressive captaincy played a crucial role throughout the match. With this victory, India now has 98 points and a win percentage of 74.24%, outpacing second-placed Australia, who have played one more match. Conversely, Bangladesh's fifth loss in eight matches has resulted in a drop to seventh place in the standings. India's dominance at home continues, marking their 18th consecutive Test series victory since 2013.
