India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score, 2nd Test: India will start as the tearaway favourites when they take on Bangladesh in the second and final Test in Kanpur starting Friday. The Rohit Sharma-led home team had, after all, handed Bangladesh a 280-run defeat in the tour opener in Chennai on Sunday despite being reduced to 144/6 on the opening day after the visitors opted to bat.
Ravichandran Ashwin starred in the victory at his home ground with a fighting 113 as well as a haul of 6/88, with Shubman Gill (119 not out) and Rishabh Pant (109) also slamming tons, the latter in his first Test appearance since December 2022.
After Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja (86) stitched a 199-run seventh-wicket stand in the first innings that helped the hosts post a competitive 376, Jasprit Bumrah’s 4/50 allowed India to bowl Bangladesh out for a modest 149, resulting in a huge 227-run lead.
Gill an Pant’s centuries would then allow India to recover from yet another shaky start and declare their innings on 287/4, setting the Tigers an improbable 515-run target. The fourth innings was Ashwin’s turn to star with the ball as he ran through the opposition lineup to collect his 37th Test five-for.
It remains to be seen whether India retain the same XI that thrashed Bangladesh at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium or bring in an extra spinner in Kuldeep Yadav in place of pacer Akash Deep.
The team management will make a final decision on Friday morning depending on the conditions, with the curator at Kanpur’s Green Park having prepared two wickets — a red-soil wicket similar to the one in Chennai along with a black-soil pitch.
