In IND vs BAN match, only 35 overs should be played on the first day. There should be no play on the next day. In such a situation, the team wins the test match, that too with one session remaining. There are very few occasions in a test match when a team wins the match in this way. Team India did this unbelievable thing and defeated Bangladesh in the Kanpur test match. All this was possible due to the two sixes hit by the team captain Rohit Sharma.
In the IND vs BAN match, India defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets in the second test match played in Kanpur. With this, the two-match test series was won 2-0. Only 35 overs could be played on the first day. Bangladesh scored only 107 runs after losing three wickets. On the first day, the entire game could not be played due to poor light. On the second day, not even a single ball could be bowled due to rain. On the third day, due to bad outfield, the day’s play was canceled without even a single ball being bowled.
Rohit Sharma’s two sixes changed the atmosphere of the IND vs BAN match
When the match started on the fourth day, India bowled out Bangladesh for 233 runs. After this, India came out to bat in the second session of the day and Team India surprised everyone by batting explosively. Seeing the team’s batting, it seemed that this was not a Test match but a T20 match. Rohit took the strike for the first time in the second over and hit two sixes on the first two balls of Khalid Ahmed.
From here, the Bangladesh team came to know what Team India’s intentions were. These two sixes of Rohit set the stage for explosive batting and then the batsmen of Team India did not look back. Rohit’s sixes proved to be the turning point of the match. The Indian captain was out after scoring 23 runs off 11 balls, but his innings pushed Bangladesh on the backfoot and turned the match in India’s favor.

After winning the match, the team’s assistant coach Abhishek Nair also praised Rohit’s batting and captaincy. Nair said, “The way Yashasvi and Rohit batted on the field changed the atmosphere in the dressing room. Everyone started feeling that they can play an attacking game. Here Rohit Sharma should get a lot of credit because it was Rohit Sharma’s thinking that we will play like this. Whether it is batting or bowling, Rohit Sharma’s thinking has been very aggressive.
