India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test 2024 Live Updates: India Takes Charge in Kanpur
The India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test 2024 has kicked off today at Green Park, Kanpur, with Bangladesh opting to bat first after winning the toss. The match comes after India’s dominant victory in the first Test, where they defeated Bangladesh by 280 runs. Here are the live updates on today’s action.
Bangladesh’s Bold Call: Batting First
Bangladesh made the bold decision to bat first under overcast conditions, a move that many believed would test their resolve against India’s strong bowling unit. The pitch at Green Park has some early moisture, and the Indian pace attack, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, began probing for wickets early on.
India’s Bowling Firepower
India’s bowling lineup, particularly Ravichandran Ashwin, who was exceptional in the first Test with a century and crucial wickets, once again came into play. Ashwin has been introduced into the attack early on, aiming to exploit any early turn from the surface, which could trouble Bangladesh’s batsmen. Bumrah and Siraj have maintained a tight line and length, keeping Bangladesh under pressure.
Bangladesh’s Resistance: Shanto and Mushfiqur
Bangladesh's top-order is relying heavily on Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim to stabilize the innings after a shaky start. Shanto, who was Bangladesh’s leading scorer in the first Test, will need to continue his form if Bangladesh hopes to set a challenging target against the dominant Indian team.
India’s Stellar Batting Lineup Awaits
India’s batting lineup is in fine form, with key players like Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill waiting for their turn to bat. In the first Test, India’s lower order, led by Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, contributed heavily with the bat, giving India a massive advantage. This depth in their lineup makes India a formidable side, especially at home.
What’s Next?
The game is still in its early stages, but India already seems to be in control, with their bowlers dominating the morning session. Bangladesh will need a strong partnership to avoid a repeat of their struggles in the first Test.
Stay tuned for more India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test 2024 live updates as the action continues in Kanpur. With India looking for a series sweep and Bangladesh battling for pride, it promises to be an exciting Test match
