India skipper Rohit Sharma believes that their recent 2-0 whitewash against Bangladesh at home in two Tests was an exceptional series. This comes on the back of India forcing a win in the second Test in Kanpur despite two and a half days of rain. After the first day saw only 35 overs being&nbsp;bowled, India went on to win the match by seven wickets.

"It was a clear plan that we want the result, how we can get the result. Everybody started finding answers for that. I think it was an exceptional series. It may go unnoticed," Sharma said in a video shared by bcci.tv.

India's batting in the first innings in Kanpur was exceptional where they recorded fastest 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 by a team in Test before declaring with a lead of 52 runs.

"For me aggression is all about your actions," he said. "It's not about my reactions: the kind of batting we do, the kind of field positioning we do, the kind of bowling we do; that to me is aggression."

Rohit, however, asserted that things started with taking remaining seven wickets of opposition quickly to give the batters a chance to score at brisk pace.

"Look, without the help of the other ten players, and, obviously people who are sitting in the dressing room as well, this wouldn't have been possible when we had lost two days, two-and-a-half days actually, it's very easy for everyone to just drift away from the goal that we had of winning this test match. When we came here on the fourth day of the morning, first things first, they [Bangladesh] were batting and we needed to get them out. We needed seven wickets quickly, so I thought everything started there," the skipper added.

India next play three T20Is against Bangladesh starting Sunday (Oct 6) before hosting New Zealand at home for three-Test series.

'Everything started there...,' India skipper Rohit shares turning point in Kanpur Test against Bangladesh

Rohit Sharma opened up on his leadership style following India's 2-0 Test series win over Bangladesh. Rohit, who was appointed as the all-format skipper in early 2022, revealed that he allows other players to give suggestions but takes the final call,&nbsp;trusting&nbsp;his gut feeling.&nbsp;Hitman's captaincy was praised by one and all after India beat Bangladesh in the second and final Test, in Kanpur, to inflict a series whitewash. The Kanpur Test was a rain-marred affair, with no play on Day 2 and 3, but Rohit &amp; Co. dismissed Bangla Tigers for 233 on the penultimate day and batted aggressively, scoring more than eight an over, to take a 52-run lead and then dismiss the visitors for 146. Chasing 95, India chased down the target&nbsp;to win by seven wickets on the final day.

Rohit was hailed for instilling a fearless attitude in India's batting line-up, as they scored 285/9 in 34.4 overs, and earned a win despite two washed-out days (due to rain and a wet outfield). Recently, Rohit spilled the beans on his leadership and how he operates with his players&nbsp;in terms of taking decisions on the field.

Rohit told BCCI.tv, "I have been (out) there enough to trust my judgements on what I do. The decisions that I take on the field, I then go by it. Obviously there are players around me who are open to giving suggestions but, at the end of the day, I trust my mind and my judgement and that's all that matters when you are playing."

The India Test and ODI skipper also hailed his side's catching during the just-concluded Bangladesh series. The home team plucked out some blinders in the series finale. Rohit said, "It may go unnoticed, but I was just informed 24 catches came our way, and we took 23, great result, especially in India, where the ball doesn't carry in slips and because they were standing way ahead than they normally do. The catches are hard to take as reaction time is very less."

"And I have seen everyone put in lot of effort in getting those things right. (T) Dilip (fielding coach) is actually helping the players with some crucial catches that's turning the game around," he added.

Rohit-led India's next Test assignment is a three-match series versus New Zealand at home, starting Oct 16 in Bengaluru.

India beat Bangladesh on Day 5 of the second and final Test at Green Park Stadium, Kanpur on Tuesday (Oct 1). The day kicked off with the visitors reeling at 26-2, trailing by another 26, as Rohit Sharma-led India rode on Jasprit Bumrah, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja's three-fers each to dismiss the Najmul Shanto-led Bangla Tigers for 146 and chased down a paltry 95-run target with seven wickets in hand.

India beat Bangladesh by seven wickets on Day 5 of the second and final Test at the Green Park Stadium, Kanpur on Tuesday (Oct 1). The day commenced with Bangla Tigers reeling at 26-2, still trailing India by another 26. They eventually folded for 146, setting up a 95-run target which India chased down successfully courtesy of Yashasvi Jaiswal's 51. With this, India swept the two-match series 2-0.

India's win became possible after their bowlers combined to dismiss Bangladesh for 233 on the penultimate day, on Monday (Sep 30), after the previous days&nbsp;got completely washed out due to rain and a wet outfield. Thus, Bangladesh started Day 4 at 107-3 but got dismissed cheaply. In reply, Indian batters breathed life into the rain-marred contest by scoring over eight an over to declare at 285-9. With a 52-run lead, India dictated terms with Jasprit Bumrah, R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja's three-fers pushing Bangladesh behind.

After the series triumph, Ashwin, Player-of-the-Series awardee, hailed captain Rohit Sharma for pushing India for a win, with their aggressive batting, despite two days being wasted.

At the post-match presentation, Ashwin said, "When we bowled them out yesterday, it was little after lunch. Rohit was keen that we needed 80 overs to bowl at them. And the moment he came inside out and gave that talk where we're going to go after it even if we get out under 230. It's not only him saying it, he went out there and hit his first ball for six.

'We'll go for it...', R Ashwin recalls Rohit's words before Indian batters' attacking show in Kanpur Test

On Day 4 of the second and final Test between India and Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. dismissed the Bangla Tigers for 233 with an all-round bowling show, led by Jasprit Bumrah. After asking the visitors to bat first, at Green Park, Kanpur, India had them reeling at 107 for 3 at stumps on the opening day before rain and wet outfield played spoilsport in the next two days. With the weather wasting a lot of time, India batted aggressively on the penultimate day, on Monday (Sep 30),&nbsp;to score more than eight runs an over in response to Najmal Shanto-led Bangladesh's 233 and declared at 285/9. At stumps,&nbsp;India reduced Bangladesh to 26/2, leading by another 26.&nbsp;Ahead of the final day, on Tuesday (Oct 1),&nbsp;KL Rahul revealed how captain Rohit's message motivated India to bat aggressively and push for a win following the rain delays.

Speaking to Sports18, Rahul stated, "The message was very clear from the start. We lost a couple of days due to rain. Most of the game was lost to weather, but we wanted to see what we could do in the time that was left. The plan was simple: find a way to play for the win. We lost a couple of wickets, but since Rohit's message was so clear that it didn't matter if we got out, we tried to do that."

Rahul understood the requirement from captain Rohit as he scored an impressive 43-ball 68 whereas Yashasvi Jaiswal (51-ball 72), Virat Kohli (35-ball 47) enabled India to score 285/9 in less than 35 overs.

At the time of publishing this report, India have commenced their chase of 95 after bundling out Bangla Tigers for a paltry 146 in 47 overs on Tuesday. Bumrah, R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took a three-fer each to keep India on course for a big win.

His message was...: Rahul on how Rohit's pep talk motivated India to breathe life into rain-marred Kanpur Test

India beat Bangladesh by seven wickets while chasing a paltry 95 on Day 5 of the second and final Test, at Green Park, Kanpur, on Tuesday (Oct 1) to sweep the series 2-0. A result looked improbable when play resumed on Day 4 after the preceding two days were washed out due to rain and wet outfield. Bangladesh were 107-3 at stumps on Day 1 and resumed the penultimate day, on Monday (Sep 30), from there on. The Indian bowlers combined&nbsp;to dismiss&nbsp;the visitors for 233. In response, Rohit Sharma-led India went into the top gear&nbsp;and scored at over eight runs an over and declared&nbsp;at 285/9, notched up&nbsp;in just 34.4 overs, and closed the day's play by reducing the opposition to 26/2. On the final day, India bundled out Bangladesh for 146 and chased down a paltry 95 in style. While the Indian bowlers shined in the win, the batters' aggressive play breathed life into the rain-marred contest. Hence, Rohit explained the approach and thought behind India's belligerent batting.

<h2>'We were ready for it even if we got bowled out for 100-150'</h2>

At the post-match presentation, Rohit said, "Once we lost two and a half days, when we came on day 4, we wanted to get them out as quickly as possible and see what we can do with the bat. When they got bowled out for 230, it wasn't about the runs we got but the overs we got at them. Pitch didn't have much. To make a game out of it on that pitch was a superb effort. It was a risk we were willing to take because when you're trying to bat like that, you can be bundled out for a low score. But we were ready for it even if we got bowled out for 100-150."

In the Bangla Tigers' second essay, the Najmul Shanto-led side were clueless in front of Jasprit Bumrah, R Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja as the trio shared nine wickets amongst them. During the paltry 95-run chase, India lost three wickets but Yashasvi Jaiswal's 51 propelled India to an easy win, with as many as 45 overs to spare. He was also the top-scorer (72) in India's first innings, along with KL Rahul (68) and Virat Kohli (47).

With this win, India showed their hunger to keep going ahead in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle and cement a place in next year's final. They remain at the top with a win percentage of 74.24. Australia and Sri Lanka are at the second and third spot, respectively.&nbsp;

Ind vs Ban: ‘It was a risk,’ says Rohit on India’s belligerent batting on Day 4 after winning Kanpur Test

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.

<h2>India go pro-Bazball</h2>

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.

IND vs BAN: India win rain-affected Kanpur Test with 'pro-Bazball' approach; pocket series 2-0

India batter Virat Kohli broke another one of Sachin Tendulkar's batting records on day 4 (Sep 30) of the second Test against Bangladesh. Kohli scored 47 off 35 balls in India's first innings, taking his international runs tally to 27,000 in just 594 innings - the fastest among all and the only batter to reach the milestone in less than 600 innings.

Tendulkar had reached 27,000 international runs in 623 innings. The other batters to score these many runs are Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara in 648 innings and Australia's Ricky Ponting in 650 innings.

After day 2 and day 3 play was called off due to rain and wet outfield, India bowlers were on point with early start Monday morning as they folded Bangladesh for 233 in the first innings.

India then broke multiple batting records in about 35 overs they batted. Openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tempo with 55-run opening stand, which also included them reaching fifty runs in just three overs - the fastest in Test history.

After Rohit's departure, Shubman Gill and Jaiswal took over and added 72 runs for the second wicket before pacer Hasan Mahmud sent Jaiswal back on the team score of 127. Jaiswal scored a brilliant 51-ball 72 and played an important role in India reaching 100 in just 10.1 runs - also fastest in Test history.

Bangladesh had hoped to bat at the end of play on day 4 but not in their second innings. They started the day at 107/3 - their score on day 1 when rain stopped the play - and things just did not go right for them.

Bangladesh have announced their squad for the upcoming T20I series against India as Mehidy Hasan Miraz was given a recall after a year. The squad announced on Sunday (Sep 29) saw former skipper Shakib Al Hasan sit out as it all but confirmed his retirement. Chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain was grateful for Shakib and his services to the national team while announcing the squad. Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead the side with recalls also for Parvez Hossain Emon and left-arm spinner Rakibul Hasan.

<h2>Bangladesh announce squad for India T20Is</h2>

"The great Shakib Al Hasan has already announced that he has played his last T20I for Bangladesh," Ashraf said. "We don't have anyone to replace his experience and performance but we feel that Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a good batter who can handle the middle order. Mehidy can play as a batter. We didn't pick him in the previous [T20] World Cup as we usually feel that he has a strong role as an allrounder in Tests and ODIs.”

Miraz, a constant feature in the ODIs and Test squad has not played in the T20Is since last July which also saw him miss the T20 World Cup in the United States and the West Indies. He has represented the national side in 25 T20Is and will have the opportunity to impress yet again in the upcoming series.

The third day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur was called off without any play on Sunday (Sep 29) due to wet outfield. The first day of the Test was also curtailed to only 35 overs before early stumps due to rain interruption while no play happened on second day due to persistent rain.

There was no rain on third day but the start of play was delayed due to wet outfield. The umpires made an inspection at 10 am local time and deemed the ground condition unfit to play. The second inspection was done at 12 pm local time and the conditions hadn't improved enough yet for the play, cancelling the second session as well.

After the final inspection at 2 pm, the umpires called it a day without play for the second time in two days.

Bangladesh scored 107/3 in 35 overs on day 1 with pacer Akash Deep taking two of those wickets and spinner Rai Ashwin taking the third one - his 420th wicket in Asia.

Both the teams read the pitch differently as suggested by their playing XI selection. India are unchanged from the first Test in Chennai where they played three pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep.&nbsp;

Bangladesh, on the other hand, are playing three spinners in the second Test as opposed to two in the first Test.

The two-match series, however, is 1-0 in favour of India after they won the Chennai Test by 280 runs in nearly three and a half days.

With only two more days left in the Tests, a draw seems the most plausible outcome, giving India a series win.

<h2>Mayank Yadav earns call-up</h2>

Having impressed in IPL 2024, a call-up was on the cards for Mayank but he was nursing an injury in the last few months. He was impressive for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) before getting injured having scalped seven wickets in his debut campaign. He gained fame for his speed and agility which caught the eye of the selectors despite having played only four matches in IPL 2024.

On the other hand, Gill and Pant have been rested with the former being the vice-captain of the side. India play Australia in a five-match Test series in November with a mini South Africa tour also approaching in November. While the BCCI has not named a designated vice-captain for the side, Hardik Pandya is expected to lead the side in case Suryakumar Yadav is not available.

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja called out the decision to bowl first by India skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir in the second Test against Bangladesh which started Friday (Sep 27). Rohit put the visitors into bat in the overcast conditions, hoping the bowlers will take advantage.

“They (Rohit and Gautam Gambhir) made a mistake, but they will not accept it. Look at the field placements. The captain also knows that he read the pitch and conditions wrong,” Jadeja said while speaking on JioCinema.

This is also the first time in nine years that India have elected to bowl first after winning the toss at home. The last time it was Virat Kohli who elected to bowl first after winning the toss against South Africa in Bengaluru in 2015.

The first day, however, was marred by rain as only 35 overs were bowled before early stumps were called.

Both the teams have read the pitch differently as suggested by their playing XI selection. India are unchanged from the first Test in Chennai where they played three pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep. Bangladesh, on the other hand, are playing three spinners in the second Test as opposed to two in the first Test. The two-match series, however, is 1-0 in favour of India after they won the Chennai Test by 280 runs in nearly three and a half days.

Jadeja calls out Rohit for decision to bowl in Kanpur

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja called out the decision to bowl first by India skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir in the second Test against Bangladesh which started Friday (Sep 27). Rohit put the visitors into bat in the overcast conditions, hoping the bowlers will take advantage.

“The conditions are suitable for batting despite Bangladesh losing two wickets. The best thing would have been to bat first after winning the toss, but India missed the trick," said the former India player while speaking on Jio Cinema.

The second Test match between India and Bangladesh did not go according to the plans for the visitors as rain played spoilsport on Day 1 of the contest. In a must-win contest to avoid the series defeat, Bangladesh lost three wickets on Day 1 with only 35 overs bowled. However, it was an off-field issue that raised eyebrows as Bangladesh’s popular mascot Tiger Roby was escorted by police from the stadium.

<h2>Tiger Roby escorted from the stadium</h2>

In a video surfacing on the internet, Kanpur police were seen escorting the mascot from the stadium premises to the hospital. The video showed Kanpur police coming to the aid of the&nbsp;mascot as he was rushed. He was seen sitting on a chair while earlier footage showcased he was aided by guards to a safe place.

The mascot is famous for appearing in the Bangladesh cricket team’s matches in a tiger-like mask while also wearing a yellow tiger costume.

However, it was later cleared that he was not feeling well which led to his escort while no one had acted violently.&nbsp;

"I fell ill and the police brought me to the hospital and got me treated. Now I am feeling much better. My name is Robi and I have come from Bangladesh," Robi said.

<h2>What happened on Day 1?</h2>

Having won the toss after a delayed start to the match, Rohit Sharma became the first captain in 60 years to choose bowling. The Indian skipper’s decision proved to be worthy as they got the better of Zakir Hasan for a duck having faced 24 balls before heading back to the pavilion. Shadman Islam soon followed him as he was dismissed for 24 off 36 balls. The partnership of skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (31) and Mominul Haque restructured the innings.

Rain would again play its part as the umpires finally decided to call off Day 1 at 2:56 pm. At the Stumps on Day 1, Mominul Haque was batting on 40 while Mushfiqur Rahim was on 6 with Bangladesh on 107/3. Akash Deep scalped two wickets while Ashwin bagged one in a day-curtailed contest.

<h2>Ashwin breaks Kumble’s record</h2>

On the fifth ball of the 29th over, Ashwin scalped the wicket of Shanto which saw him write yet another chapter in his illustrious career. The veteran all-rounder now has 420 wickets in the Test format on Asian soil surpassing Kumble’s tally. In fact, only Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan with 612 wickets has more success on Asian soil.

IND vs BAN: Rain plays spoilsport on Day 1 of Kanpur Test after Ravi Ashwin breaks Anil Kumble's record

Young India pacer Akash Deep lauded Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and told they are considered 'gods of cricket' ahead of the second and final Test versus Bangladesh in Kanpur. Akash was part of India's 280-run win over Bangladesh in the series opener, in Chennai, where he returned with two scalps following his Test debut early this year, versus England where he claimed a three-fer. The 27-year-old credited Rohit and Kohli for his smooth transition from domestic to international cricket. Further, he&nbsp;termed the star duo&nbsp;as inspirational figures&nbsp;for keeping him motivated to work harder.

Speaking to the reporters in Kanpur, Akash said, "When I came here, I witnessed a different level of dedication and hard work from the players who are legends of the game, and considered the gods of cricket like Rohit, Virat bhai. I realised that they have achieved so much and are still working so hard during training. Their thought process is at a different level, this motivates me to work even harder."

The speedster further opined&nbsp;"I had hesitation initially that there would be pressure, but Rohit bhaiya made things so simple. I haven't played under such a supportive captain. He keeps things simple, I never felt whether I am playing domestic or international cricket."

Akash also revealed that he is not thinking about his selection for the forthcoming five-match Test series versus the Aussies, in Australia. After the home series versus Bangladesh and New Zealand (including three Tests), India are set to travel Down Under for the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Akash, however, revealed that he is not thinking ahead and wants to live in the present.

He added, "I don't put too much pressure that I need to go to Australia and all that. I live in the present. It remains simple for me."

At present, India will aim for a 2-0 whitewash over the Najmul Shanto-led Bangla Tigers in the second and final Test, which gets underway at the Green Park stadium on Friday morning (Sep 27).

Ind vs Ban: They're considered gods of cricket - Akash Deep heaps praise on Rohit and Kohli before Kanpur Test

The upcoming second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur is under scrutiny as one of the stands in Green Park stadium is &nbsp;not 'entirely safe' for the public. India are leading the series 1-0 after winning the first Test in Chennai by 280 runs. The second and final Test of the series is set to start on Friday (Sep 27).

The developments were reported by news outlet the Indian Express a couple of days ahead of the Test. At the venue, Stand C has been deemed dangerous by the state Public Works Department (PWD) and it has been advised to the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) to not sell all the tickets for the particular stand.

“The PWD has raised some issues, and we have agreed that we will not sell all the tickets for Balcony C,” UPCA CEO Ankit Chatterjee was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.

“We have been told to sell only 1700 tickets for the stand, which has a capacity of 4,800. The repair work will continue for the next couple of days,” he added.

India last played New Zealand in Kanpur back in 2021. The Test went on for five days but ended in a scintillating draw with New Zealand holding onto the last wicket for more time than India would have liked.

India will host New Zealand again after the culmination of the Bangladesh series. The three-Test India vs New Zealand series starts October 16 in Bengaluru.

After that, India travels to Australia for the much awaited five-Test Border-Gavaskar series. India have not lost a Test series against Australia since 2014. They have won four consecutive Test series against the Aussie in the last decade, which include&nbsp;two at home and two Down Under.&nbsp;

IND vs BAN: Authorities deem stand at Green Park stadium, second Test venue, in Kanpur unsafe

India thrashed Bangladesh by 280 runs in the first Test, in Chennai, with R Ashwin shining with match figures of 6 for 117&nbsp;and a brilliant 113. Along with him, there were many performers for India, with Ravindra Jadeja slamming an impressive 86, and adding 199 runs for the seventh wicket with Ashwin in the first innings, whereas Shubman Gill (119) and Rishabh Pant (109) also scored a century each in the second essay after Rohit Sharma-led hosts' 227-run lead. Chasing 515, Najmul Shanto-led Bangla Tigers folded for 234 to lose by a big margin.&nbsp;

Among the top performers, Pant stood out as he was on a Test return. Since his comeback to the national side, after battling injuries in a horrific car crash in December 2022, the left-hander has been part of India's white-ball squad, but many awaited his Test return, given his red-ball success. On seeing him slam his sixth Test ton on comeback, former Pakistan speedster Wasim Akram hailed the 26-year-old and called him a 'miracle kid'.

Speaking at a media interaction, as quoted by Hindustan Times, Akram said that people in Pakistan were concerned for the wicketkeeper after he got involved in a horrific accident in 2022. The legendary pacer, however, stated that he is in&nbsp;awe of how Pant bounced back and has performed since his return to competitive cricket (which happened in IPL 2024).&nbsp;

<h2>'He is superhuman by returning from his tragedy'</h2>

Akram said, "Look at Pant’s performance, the miracle that he has performed by showing he is superhuman by returning from his tragedy. The way his accident happened, we were all worried in Pakistan, I was worried and tweeted about him. He came back and averaged 40 in the IPL, 446 runs at a strike rate of 155, he’s a miracle kid."

Hailing&nbsp;Pant, Akram further pointed out the way he plays Test cricket&nbsp;and how he has managed to dominate bowlers such as James Anderson and Pat Cummins in his short career.

"Especially what he has been through in that horrific accident, coming back from that, how mentally strong must that boy be? The way he used to play in Test cricket, the way he performed in Australia with the century then (in 2018/19). The way he batted against England, playing a reverse-sweep against Anderson in Test cricket, even Cummins. He’s special," the former Pakistan captain added.

Since his return, Pant ended IPL 2024 with 446 runs at a strike rate of 155.40. He was part of Rohit-led India's victorious squad in the 2024 T20 World Cup. While he didn't have a great run at the mega event, he announced his return in Tests with a sublime 109 in Chennai, laced with 13 fours and 4 sixes.

He’s a miracle kid: Wasim Akram LAUDS Rishabh Pant's stunning comeback, sublime ton in Chennai Test

On Sunday (Sep 22), India beat Bangladesh by 280 runs on Day 4 of the first Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Courtesy of R Ashwin's 113, India posted 376&nbsp;and bundled out&nbsp;Bangladesh for a paltry 149 before declaring their second innings at 287 for 4, due to centuries from Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill.

In the last few years, wherever we have played, we have managed to have that in our armoury, whether it is seam bowling options or spin bowling options. You have to give credit to the guys, whenever there is a responsibility, they never shy away from it and they want to put their hand up and get the job done for the team."

First time in 92 years! India attain MAJOR Test milestone after big win over Bangladesh in Chennai

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the squad for the second Test against Bangladesh, making no changes in the 16-man team from the first Test. The second Test starts on September 27 in Kanpur.

There were some talks of KL Rahul being replaced in the squad after he failed in the first innings of the Chennai Test, scoring just 16 runs.

The board, however, seems okay to give him another chance or might replace him with Sarfaraz Khan in the Playing XI who is already in the squad.

The announcement comes shortly after India wrapped up the first Test in Chennai with a 280-run shortly before lunch on day 4 (Sep 22).

Bangladesh resumed day 4 from the overnight score of 158/4 with skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan on the crease.

It was Ravi Ashwin who broke the 48-run partnership to dismiss Shakib for 25. The visitors gave in soon after that with Ravindra Jadeja removing Litton Das in quick succession.

Ashwin then dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz to complete his five-for before Jadeja removed Shanto (82) to dash any remaining resistance from Bangladesh. The spinners then took one each of the rest of the two wickets to wrap up the Bangladesh innings.

Chasing a daunting 515, Bangladesh were bowled out for 234 with Ravi Ashwin taking his 37th career five-for. Ashwin, who had scored a century in the first innings, finished with the figures of 6/88. Ashwin was also adjudged Player of the Match for his all-rounder performance.

Former Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga had the last say in banter involving India's Virat Kohli and Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan during the ongoing first Test in Chennai, India.

Malinga's reaction comes after Kohli 'called out' Shakib for bowling a couple of yorkers to him like the former Sri Lankan.

"Malinga bana hua hai, yorker pe yorker de raha hai (Acting like Malinga, bowling yorker after yorker)," Kohli said to Shakib while batting. The words got caught on the stump mic and soon became viral.

India are on the brink of a massive win against Bangladesh in the opening Test match after the visitors were narrowed to 158/4 at Stumps on Day 4. Still needing 357 runs to win Bangladesh will enter Day 4 as second-favourites while Rohit Sharma and Co search for more success. The day also saw Rishabh Pant (109) and Shubman Gill (119) slam hundreds before the hosts decided to declare at 287/4, eventually setting a target of 515 runs for Bangladesh to win.

<h2>India on the brink of win</h2>

Starting the day at 81/3, the Indian batting duo of Gill and Pant would come out with class as they scored respective hundreds. The latter’s hundred saw him equal MS Dhoni’s record for most Test hundreds for India by a wicketkeeper-batter. It was Pant’s sixth in the red-ball format having only returned to the format after 21 months. He was later dismissed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz for 109 as India’s lead was on the verge of 500.

KL Rahul remained unbeaten at 22 while Gill carried his bat on 119 before Rohit Sharma declared at 287/4. Miraz scalped two wickets while Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana bagged one each.

The day also saw Rishabh Pant (109) and Shubman Gill (119) slam hundreds before the hosts decided to declare at 287/4, eventually setting a target of 515 runs for Bangladesh to win. India on the brink of win Starting the day at 81/3, the Indian batting duo of Gill and Pant would come out with class as they scored respective hundreds. The latter’s hundred saw him equal MS Dhoni’s record for most Test hundreds for India by a wicketkeeper-batter. It was Pant’s sixth in the red-ball format having only returned to the format after 21 months. He was later dismissed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz for 109 as India’s lead was on the verge of 500. KL Rahul remained unbeaten at 22 while Gill carried his bat on 119 before Rohit Sharma declared at 287/4. Miraz scalped two wickets while Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana bagged one each.

They stitched a partnership of 62 runs for the opening wicket before a brilliant catch by Yashasvi Jaiswal at wide slip saw India break the partnership with Hasan’s wicket. They would soon lose Islam before Mominul Haque (13) and Mushfiqur Rahim (13) and were sent back to the pavilion by Ravichandran Ashwin. He ended the day with figures of 63/3 having also scored a hundred in the first innings. Bangladesh at Stumps were 158/4 with skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto unbeaten on 51 and Shakib Al Hasan on 5.

Pant, who went into lunch on day 3 at 82 not out, came all guns blazing in the second session, hitting Shakib Al Hasan for a four and six in the second over of the session to reach&nbsp;the nineties.

In the next over, Pant scored a four and took a single to reach the 99 in Mehidy Hasan Miraz's over before completing his ton in the next over with a double.

Pant, however, got out shortly after scoring his ton with Mehidy taking a sharp return catch to dismiss him for 109. Pant's 167-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Shubman Gill put India in the driver's seat as they took the total lead past 450.

Gill also scored his hundred soon after and became only the second India batter after Rahul Dravid to score a hundred at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai while batting at number three.

India eventually declared at 287/4 half-time into the second session, leaving Bangladesh with a huge target of 515 runs.

India star batter Virat Kohli's rut of form continued in the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai after he got dismissed for 17 runs in second innings on Friday (Sep 20). Kohli got out to right arm off spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz and former India coach Ravi Shastri pointed out what can help the batter.

"He has [gotten out to spinners] especially in the last 2-3 years. But he has scored a lot of runs too. What you want to see him do more is use his feet. Get to the pitch of the ball, probably employ the sweep. You’ve got to move with the times, don’t be afraid to go over the top when the field is up. You could try and do things to unsettle the spinners rather than allowing him to keep bowling at you. It’s what he did a lot when he scored a lot of runs," Shastri said while commentating on air post Kohli's dismissal.

It is to be noted that the Indian batter was out for&nbsp;six runs in the first innings while chasing an expensive cover drive off pacer Hasan Mahmud.

Shastri also pointed out that pitches have not been easy in India to score runs in the recent times and sometimes the batters have been unlucky with the dismissals as well.

"Also some of the tracks that India have played on. It’s not been easy. Plus I know a few dismissals where like Shubman Gill in the first innings, he’s gotten caught down leg wide. Funny dismissals. He’ll be aware of it. That’s for sure. There is no batter who doesn’t remember. Obviously you find a method of finding a solution. Find out what works for you and stick with that," added Shastri.

India sit in the driver’s seat in the opening Test match against Bangladesh as they lead by a massive 308 runs at stumps on Day 2 in Chennai. With Ravichandran Ashwin (113) and Jasprit Bumrah 50/4, India have tightened their grip on the contest as they seek a vital step towards the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord’s in 2025. One player who has been at his best in Chennai is Ravindra Jadeja, after playing an 86-run knock he also scalped two wickets.

<h2>Ravindra Jadeja eyes special feat</h2>

“It's a good opportunity to take the 300th wicket on this ground. First, we have to bat very well, we have to put somewhere around 120-150 from hereon. We'll be in a good position and then we'll come out and bowl and try and get them out as early as possible. (Pitch) It's pretty good for batting but there's still something in the wicket for the fast bowlers,” Jadeja said at the end of Day 2.

<h2>India take&nbsp;giant steps</h2>

After starting Day 2 on 339/6, it was not long before Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed for 86 as he failed to add to his tally. Soon Ravinchadran Ashwin was dismissed for 113 off 133 as he helped India 376. Debutant Akash Deep added 17 runs to his tally while Jasprit Bumrah scored 7 with the bat. Mohammed Siraj bagged a duck to end the Indian innings.

It was a chaotic day at the office for India’s legendary batter Virat Kohli after he was dismissed in a freak manner in the final session of Day 2 in the ongoing first Test match against Bangladesh. Batting in the second innings on Day 2, Virat was dismissed for 17 off 37 after stand-in umpire Richard Kettleborough deemed him lbw. However, replays suggested that Virat had hit the ball with his bat before the ball hit his pads while he did not opt for the Decision Review System (DRS).

<h2>Rohit, Kettleborough stunned by Virat’s dismissal</h2>

On the second ball of the 20th over, Virat was deemed lbw by Kettleborough which saw the Indian batter out. However, his strange call to not take DRS came as a surprise for many including Rohit Sharma. Replays clearly showed that he had hit the ball before it hit the pads raising eyebrows. Rohit who was dismissed for 5 earlier and sitting in the dressing room was furious and discontent with the decision.

On the flip side, Kettleborough was seen giving a broad smile as he realised his mistake of giving him out. The Englishman has been an eccentric figure in India’s ICC matches while the Men in Blue have been on the receiving end.
