Jaiswal leads India batting charge in rain

In Kanpur, India, the home team declared their first innings at 285-9, showcasing an aggressive batting display against Bangladesh, who were bowled out for 233. The match was affected by rain, leading to a loss of play on two days. Yashasvi Jaiswal played a pivotal role, scoring 72 runs off just 51 balls, helping India reach 100 runs in a record 61 balls. His performance, along with KL Rahul's contributions, emphasized India's intent to secure a victory despite the weather disruptions. Bangladesh struggled in their second innings, ending the day at 26-2, still trailing by 26 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin's bowling was instrumental in dismissing key Bangladeshi batsmen, while Ravindra Jadeja achieved a milestone of 300 Test wickets, becoming the seventh Indian bowler to reach this landmark. The match's atmosphere was electrifying, with a T20-like feel, as the Indian team aimed for a decisive win in the two-match series, having already secured a victory in the first Test in Chennai by a significant margin.
