IND Vs BAN: Best day in Indian Test history, bowling-batting-fielding amazing in every field

In the last three days, this writer has met thousands of spectators in Kanpur and there was a hope in everyone's heart that even if Team India could not play, at least they should come on the field and show a glimpse of themselves to the spectators. Throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday, one-fourth of the stadium was filled with constant noise and excitement in the hope that the match would somehow start. Some had come from Varanasi and some from Mirzapur. The number of spectators coming from Bihar's capital Patna was also not less. But perhaps it does not matter to the indifferent officials of Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association. BCCI's status was being ridiculed across the world for the lack of stadium infrastructure, while local cricket association chief Rajeev Shukla shrugged off the whole matter by saying that no match has ever been canceled till date. This field. ,

Team India wants to win at any cost
However, we have to admire the enthusiasm and passion of the local crowd, who ignored all the negative aspects and came to the team stadium for the fourth consecutive day and felt as if they got all the money back in a single day's play. Under no circumstances would Team India want to depend on the results of the Test matches of the upcoming Australia tour to play the final of the World Test Championship. Therefore, the team's desire is to defeat first Bangladesh and then New Zealand in every match under any circumstances.

Rohit played not T20 but T10 style
The very aggressive attitude of Team India can be gauged from the fact that the captain and his fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal started batting with the run rate of T10 in Test cricket and not in ODI or T20. After all, you don't get to see a run rate figure of 14.34 during T20 matches or even during the IPL on batting-friendly pitches. The pair, who made a half-century partnership in just 23 balls, maintained such a run rate that the bowlers of the visiting team were completely surprised. As captain in recent years, Rohit Sharma has made his batting philosophy clear to the team. What matters is not individual records but contribution to the team. It will not be easy to forget his innings of 23 runs in 11 balls because before him, only three batsmen in history had been able to hit two sixes in the first two balls in a Test match. The name of one of them was Sachin Tendulkar. According to the speed with which Rohit is hitting sixes in Test cricket, Virender Sehwag's record of hitting most sixes for India also seems to last only for a few weeks.

Yashasvi and Rahul's game is stronger than Rohit.
In the middle order, his young colleagues Jaiswal and KL Rahul played more powerful innings than Rohit. Jaiswal made his intentions clear by hitting three consecutive fours in the very first over and his strike rate of 141.17 was by no means surprising. But, who would have thought that after his dismissal, Rahul could bat even faster than him in the middle order. Rahul also scored the second half-century of the Indian innings, but his strike rate was around 160 (158.13), which was enough to prove that this team can play whenever it wants, changing gears according to the occasion and situation. After the end of the day's play, the team's bowling coach Morne Morkel also admitted the same thing.

Jadeja achieved a big achievement
However, amidst the collective brilliant game of batsmen and bowlers, Monday was also a very memorable day for Team India's all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. It can be expected that Jadeja will cross the figure of 311 Test wickets even before catching the flight to Perth in the month of November. Now you might be wondering why we are talking about 311 runs on the day Jadeja completed his 300 wickets? Actually, very few people would know that in the history of Team India, two very successful bowlers, Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma, have 311-311 wickets in their names in Test cricket. If Jadeja manages to reach 312 by the end of the New Zealand series, he will join the 5 most successful bowlers in Indian history. Just as the country realized the greatness of Anil Kumble late, the same happened with Ravichandran Ashwin. But, under the influence of Ashwin, many times a powerful bowler like Jadeja does not get the discussion that he really deserves. Now imagine that in the history of Test cricket, only former England captain Ian Botham has completed the 'doubles' record of 3000 Test runs and 300 wickets by playing 2 matches less than him. Only 11 players have achieved this feat in Test cricket and the 35-year-old has the highest average (24.00) and strike rate (58.0) among those who have taken more than 300 Test wickets for India. Till now Ashwin, Bumrah, Akashdeep and Siraj together have dominated the entire match. Now can it be expected that Jadeja will emerge as the biggest hero with the ball in the first or second session on the last day of the match?
