India boasts a formidable squad with exceptional batting and bowling prowess. While seniors like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj bring enormous experience and skill, performances from young Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubhman Gill, and Rishabh Pant are equally crucial. Bangladesh had the upper hand on India when they picked six wickets for 144 on day 1. However, brilliant centuries from Ashwin, Rishabh Pant and Shubhman Gill, and superb bowling from Jasprit Bumrah, Arsh Deep, Ashwin and Jadeja have guided India to a stunning victory.
Coming from a whitewash win against Pakistan, Bangladesh failed to create the same magic on Indian soil. Bangladesh was nowhere in the match, albeit in the initial couple of sessions. Except for Hasan Mahmud, no other bowlers could make any impact. Senior players like Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Litton Das failed to rescue the team. Taskin Ahmed, Mehidy Hasan Miraj, and Hasan Mahmud must provide regular breakthroughs to restrict India.
Will India win the second Test and take the tally to 18 successive Test series win on the home soil? Will Bangladesh bounce back and challenge India? Watch the India vs Bangladesh action live on YuppTV.
