India complete 2-0 series win over Bangladesh in dramatic turnaround

India secured a 2-0 series victory over Bangladesh on Tuesday, following a remarkable comeback in the second cricket test, which had seen 2.5 days of play disrupted by rain and a damp outfield.

In pursuit of a target of 95 runs, India concluded their innings at 98-3 in 17.2 overs, achieving a seven-wicket victory.

Yashasvi Jaiswal contributed significantly with a score of 51, while Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 29, forming a partnership of 58 runs off 67 balls for the third wicket in the second innings. Despite the early dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, India faced no significant challenges in reaching the target before the tea break.

In the earlier innings, pacer Jasprit Bumrah and spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin each claimed three wickets, helping to dismiss Bangladesh for 146, which left India with two sessions to secure the necessary runs for a series sweep.

India had previously won the first test by a margin of 280 runs.

The series sweep was set up when India scored rapidly and declared at 285-9 late on Day 4, establishing a first-innings lead of 52 runs.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 2-44, claiming the wickets of both Sharma (8) and Gill (6) during India's otherwise smooth chase. He also had a leg-before-wicket appeal against Kohli overturned upon review.

Jaiswal struck eight boundaries and a six during his second half-century in the Test, following his score of 72 in the first innings. He was dismissed by Taijul Islam just before the match concluded.

Rishabh Pant secured the victory with the final runs. Kohli contributed with a 37-ball innings that featured four boundaries.

The momentum shifted in favor of India on the fifth morning of the match.

Jadeja claimed 3 wickets for 34 runs as Bangladesh suffered a dramatic collapse, losing four wickets for just three runs, ultimately losing their last seven wickets for a total of 110 runs. Ashwin took 3 wickets for 50 runs, while Bumrah captured 3 wickets for 17 runs in his 10 overs.

The first day, along with the entirety of the second and third days, was affected by rain, leaving little hope for a result in Kanpur unless a significant turn of events occurred.

Play resumed on Day 4 with India aggressively pursuing victory to earn crucial points in the World Test Championship, amassing 437 runs for the loss of 18 wickets over 85 overs.

Beginning Day 5 at 26-2, Bangladesh lost Mominul Haque, the first-innings century scorer, for just 2 runs, caught off Ashwin's delivery after adding 10 runs to the total.

Opener Shadman Islam formed a partnership of 55 runs with captain Najmul Hossain Shanto for the fourth wicket. In this effort, Islam reached 50 runs off 101 balls, marking him as the first Bangladeshi opener to achieve a Test half-century on Indian soil.

However, he soon lost focus and was dismissed shortly thereafter, with Jaiswal executing a superb catch at gully off the bowling of Akash Deep.

Just six deliveries prior, Jadeja had bowled Shanto for 19 runs, initiating a batting collapse.

Litton Das was caught behind off Jadeja's bowling, and Shakib al Hasan fell for a two-ball duck, taking a simple catch that may mark his final appearance in Test cricket.

Jadeja took three wickets in three overs as Bangladesh crumbled to 94-7.

Bumrah then had Miraz caught behind for 9 runs and trapped Islam lbw for a duck.

Veteran batsman Mushfiqur Rahim fought valiantly, scoring 37 runs off 63 balls as India sought the final wicket during an extended three-hour session.

Rahim ultimately squandered his wicket on the last
