New Delhi: After clinching a 280-run win over Bangladesh, the Indian cricket board has decided to draft the same side for the second test in Kanpur which triumphed over the Tigers in Bangladesh.
The official statement said-
The Men’s Selection Committee has retained the same squad for the second Test of the IDFC FIRST Bank Test series against Bangladesh. The second Test will be played in Kanpur from 27th September.
Match Summary of 1st Test
Talking about the match, veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had an amazing day in the office after picking up a 6-wicket haul for 88 runs. Earlier, Ashwin had scored a blistering century to bail out India from a tough situation.
Bangladesh eventually lost the match with a huge margin of 280 runs to hand the Indians a 1-0 lead in the 2-match series. After asking India to bat first, Bangladesh had the upper hand in the game in the opening half of the Test match. Right-arm pacer Hasan Mahmud ripped apart the Indian top order.
However, Ashwin’s fighting knock added to the resilience shown by Jadeja saved the men in blue from setting a below-par score. Eventually, the Indian innings ended at 376. In reply, the Tigers scored only 149 courtesy of a fierce pace attack led by Bumrah.
This gave the Indian team a huge lead which was even widened by the twin centuries of Rishab Pant and Shubman Gill. Eventually, the visitors were tasked with the herculean task of chasing 515 runs in the fourth innings. Subsequently, Ashwin stepped in with his partner in crime, Jadeja and the duo scalped 9 wickets together to seal the game for India.
