IND vs BAN: India created history by defeating Bangladesh in the Kanpur Test. India won over Bangladesh by 7 wickets in the second test played in Kanpur. In this way, by making a clean sweep of the 2-match series by 2-0, the Bangladeshi team achieved the great feat of winning the 18th consecutive series at home. Bangladesh’s first innings was reduced to 233 runs, after which India declared its innings in a hurried manner at the score of 289/9 runs within 35 overs. Bangladesh could score only 146 runs in the second innings and thus Team India got the target of 95 runs to win, which it achieved by losing 3 wickets. Virat Kohli returned unbeaten after scoring 29 runs and Rishabh Pant after scoring 4 runs. Kohli hit 4 fours in this innings and made a big record in his name.
In fact, as soon as Kohli hit the third four of his innings, he completed his 1000 fours in Test cricket. Kohli is only the 5th Indian batsman to achieve this milestone in the history of Test cricket. Earlier this feat was done only by Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman.
