<p>It was a “pro-Bazball” approach by Team India in the Kanpur Test as the hosts secured a statement win against Bangladesh on Tuesday (Oct 1). Having seen over two days (approx. 235 overs) washed out due to rain in Kanpur, the new-look&nbsp;Indian team managed to force a result after chasing down a 95-run target on Day 5 of the contest. Bangladesh were bowled out for 146 in the second innings as Jasprit Burmah and Ravindra Jadeja helped India to grab the series 2-0 after a&nbsp;seven-wicket win in Kanpur.</p>

<h2><strong>India go pro-Bazball</strong></h2>

<p>With no play on the second and third day of the Test match, India made a lightning start and broke a series of records in the first innings. Rohit Sharma’s army scored 285/9 before declaring in the final session of Day 4 having earlier restricted the visitors to 233. With a 52-run lead in the first innings, the Indian bowlers consolidated with the conditions in Kanpur and bowled out Bangladesh for 146 in the second innings in the opening session of Day 5.</p>
