India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Big guns Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma look to gain form in Kanpur
India would want their big guns Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to fire when the mighty hosts aim for a clean sweep against a beleaguered Bangladesh in the second and final Test starting today. The all-round show of Ravichandran Ashwin, Shubman Gill’s sublime hundred, Ravindra Jadeja’s quality batting and Rishabh Pant’s roaring comeback allowed India to script a comfortable victory in Chennai despite being put under pressure by the Bangladesh pacers on day one.
The way India bounced back in the game reaffirmed their supremacy in Test cricket, especially at home where they are on course for a record extending 18th consecutive series win.
Having made a successful return in white-ball cricket, it was time for Pant to show that it is the Test arena where he can make the maximum impact.
It seems he has even added one more dimension to his game: curbing his aggressive instinct if the situation demands, making him even more dangerous.
However, both Rohit and Virat’s bats remained silent in the series-opener as Bangladesh pacers — Hasan Mahmud and Taskin Ahmed — bowled probing lines on a supportive track and were rewarded.
With a long Test season ahead of them, the two premier batters must be itching to get back among the runs.
Playing his first Test at home since March 2023, Kohli did not look at his sharpest and one can trust him to not go for expansive cover drives at the start of his innings.
