New Delhi. After heavy rain in Kanpur Test, there was a storm from the batsmen of Team India. India played such a game against Bangladesh that a record of 147 years was broken. Indian batsmen batted in T20 style and scored 100 runs in just 10.1 overs. This is the record of scoring the fastest 100 runs in test history.
Only 35 overs could be played on the first day of the India and Bangladesh Test. By the time play was stopped on the first day due to rain, Bangladesh had scored 107 runs for 3 wickets. Due to bad weather not a single ball could be bowled on the second and third days. On the fourth day i.e. Monday, Indian bowlers restricted Bangladesh to 233 runs. After this came the turn of Indian batsmen.
Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma started in T20 style. Both of them scored 55 runs in just 3.5 overs. On this score, Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 23 runs in 11 balls. After this, Yashasvi and Shubman Gill (39) took the team to 127 runs. During this, India completed its 100 runs on the 61st ball. With this, India broke its own record of scoring 100 runs fast. India had made a record of 100 runs in 12.2 overs against West Indies only a year ago.
Yashasvi Jaiswal was the second Indian batsman to be out. He played an innings of 72 runs in 51 balls. He hit 12 fours and 2 sixes in his innings. Shortly after Yashasvi's dismissal, Shubman Gill (39 runs, 36 balls) also left. Rishabh Pant (9), who came to bat before Virat Kohli, could not stay on the wicket for long. But King Kohli did not disappoint.
Even after four wickets fell at 159 runs, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul continued batting fast. Both of them soon took the team beyond 200 runs. India took the lead by crossing Bangladesh's score in the 28th over itself. After 28 overs, India's score was 234 runs for 4 wickets.
