IND vs BAN: Rohit-Jaiswal help India script history with fastest team fifty in Test cricket
India became the team to score the fastest team fifty ever in test cricket as they made a new record.
The Indian Cricket Team scripted history as they became the team to score the fastest team fifty in the history of test cricket. The India vs Bangladesh second test match had been delayed for three days due to bad lighting and rain and day 2 and 3 had to be called off without even a bowl being bowled. Finally, on the fourth day, the players got the opportunity to go out and play as Bangladesh continued their batting. Bangladesh finished their innings after scoring 233 runs as Jadeja picked up his 300th wicket to wrap them up. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal then opened the innings for India.
Rohit-Jaiswal Decimate Bangladesh Bowling
As India got down to bat for the first time in the second test match, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal began their onslaught on the Bangladesh bowlers. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal started hitting boundaries and sixes left and right as they put up 50 runs on the board for India in just three overs.
Rohit Sharma smashed the first ball he faced for six to begin the carnage on the Bangladesh bowlers.
They made the record of the fastest team fifty in the history of test cricket as Bangladesh seemed helpless.
India Desperate For Win
India is currently at the top of the World Test Championship rankings and with a win against Bangladesh in both test matches, they are all but into the finals. With the rain playing spoilsport, India has only 2 days to pick up the win against Bangladesh .
If the match ends in a draw, it will become a bit more difficult for India to qualify especially with the Border-Gavaskar trophy coming up against the mighty Australia.
