Rohit Sharma Baffled, Shubman Gill in Splits as Virat Kohli Narrowly Escapes a Run-out After Huge Mix-up | WATCH

Team India batters turned on the T20 mode as they walked out to bat against Bangladesh at Green Park, Kanpur, on Monday. The play resumed on the fourth day after losing 8 sessions to rain in the past three days. The Indian bowlers bundled out the visitors for 233 and then, the hosts did the unthinkable to script a plethora of batting records in Test cricket.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli narrowly escaped a run-out while batting alongside Rishabh Pant in the third session of the fourth day of the ongoing Test match. The incident occurred in the 19^th over of India’s innings when Kohli looked to drive Khaled Ahmed’s length delivery but chopped it off a thick under-edge next to the pitch. Trying to steal a quick single, the former India skipper was halfway down the pitch when the bowler grabbed the ball.

While Kohli remained stranded and had given up, Khaled attempted to hit the stumps with an underarm throw but missed the target. The ace Indian batter had a sigh of relief and wore a sheepish smile on his face. Had Ahmed just run up to the stumps and taken the bails off, Kohli would have returned to the dressing with yet another low score.

Rohit Sharma, who was seated in the dugout, was taken aback by the huge mix-up while Shubman Gill, sitting next to the Indian captain, ended up laughing.

Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a bludgeoning half-century to steer India to a solid 138 for two in their first innings at tea on day four of the weather-hit second Test against Bangladesh, here Monday.

Earlier, Jaiswal hammered a 52-ball 71 as India scripted the world record for the highest team fifty and hundred in Test history.

Jaiswal hit three boundaries in the opening over to stun pacer Hasan Mahmud while Rohit began by clobbering two sixes off Khaled Ahmed, and one landed on the stadium roof. The onslaught surprised the rival attack but the home fans were rewarded for flocking to the stadium in the last two days despite rain.

Prior to the Indian batters’ onslaught, Ravindra Jadeja toiled hard to get his 300th Test wicket and succeeded when he caught and bowled Khaled. Jadeja also became the second quickest to complete the double of 300 wickets and 3000 runs in Test cricket behind England great Ian Botham.
