Records Tumble at Green Park as India Dominates Bangladesh

The second Test between India and Bangladesh at Kanpur's Green Park witnessed a flurry of record-breaking performances. Yashasvi Jaiswal stole the show with the fastest fifty in Test cricket for India, surpassing the legendary Virender Sehwag.

India, adopting England's aggressive 'Bazball' approach, went after the Bangladesh bowlers from the start. Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal forced the fielders back, scoring at a blistering pace. Jaiswal reached his half-century in just 31 deliveries, surpassing Sehwag's record of 32 balls.

Rishabh Pant still holds the record for the fastest fifty in Test cricket for India, achieved in 2022 against Sri Lanka. Kapil Dev previously held the record since 1982, scoring his half-century in 30 deliveries against Pakistan.

Jaiswal's innings ended at 72 runs off 51 balls, but India continued their dominance. They declared their innings at 285/9, achieving the highest run rate in a Test inning. India's batters scored at a remarkable 8.22 runs per over, surpassing Australia's record of 7.53 set in 2017 against Pakistan.

The match also saw the highest scoring rate in a Test partnership with a minimum of 50 runs. Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal scored at 14.34 runs per over, surpassing the previous record of 11.86 set by Ben Stokes and Ben Duckett for England against the West Indies.

India's aggressive approach and record-breaking performances put them in a commanding position against Bangladesh. The match promises further excitement as the teams battle for victory.
