The second and final match of the Test series between India and Bangladesh will be played on September 27 (Friday) at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Led by Rohit Sharma, India won the Chennai Test match against Bangladesh by 280 runs. Now the Indian team will try to win this match and eliminate the visiting team in the Test match.
Kanpur Test records set to be broken
Team India’s batsmen performed brilliantly in the Chennai Test. Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are certainly unable to play the big innings. But Rishabh Pant, Shubhman Gill, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja performed well with the bat. On the bowling front, Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah performed very well. Now the Indian team is expected to perform well in Kanpur as well. The Kanpur Test can also set some big records. Let us know about such records…

India captain Rohit Sharma is about to create an Indian record. If Rohit hits a total of seven sixes in the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh, he will break the record of the great Indian batsman Virender Sehwag. In fact, the record for most sixes in Indian Test cricket was set by Sehwag, who hit 90 sixes in Indian Test cricket. Rohit Sharma has hit 84 sixes in 55 Test matches so far.
Virat will enter Sachin-Dravid’s club!
All eyes will be on India’s star batsman Virat Kohli in the Kanpur Test. If King Kohli scores 129 runs in this Test, he will complete 9,000 runs in Test cricket. Virat will become the fourth Indian batsman to cross 9,000 runs in Test cricket for India. Only Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar can do this. Currently, Virat has scored 8871 runs in 114 Test matches at an average of 48.74. During this period he hit 29 centuries and 30 half-centuries.
Sir Jadeja killed two birds with one stone!
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has a chance to create two major records by taking a wicket. Jadeja currently has 299 Test wickets, just one wicket away from 300. Jadeja will become the seventh Indian to take 300 wickets in Test cricket. Only Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ishant Sharma were able to achieve this feat. The 35-year-old Jadeja will also have another great record to his name. He will become the 11th player in the world to take 300 wickets and 3000 runs in Tests. With this, Jadeja will also become India’s third player. This feat has been previously achieved by Kapil Dev (434 wickets and 5248 runs) and Ashwin (522 wickets and 3422 runs).
Kohli will outdo Bradman in this!
When Virat Kohli takes the field against Bangladesh in the Kanpur Test match, his eyes will be on Don Bradman’s record. Virat currently has 29 Test centuries to his name, so he is just one century away from surpassing Bradman. If Virat scores a century against Bangladesh, he will break Bradman’s record of 29 runs. Let us tell you that Sachin Tendulkar (51) has scored the highest number of runs in Tests.
India’s veteran Ravichandran Ashwin is expected to break the record of former fast bowler Zaheer Khan. In fact, Zaheer is the bowler who has taken the most wickets in the Test match between India and Bangladesh. Zaheer took 31 wickets in 7 Test matches. Ashwin has taken 30 wickets in 7 Test matches against Bangladesh so far. If Ashwin takes 3 wickets in the Kanpur Test match, he will become the bowler to take the highest wickets in a Test match between India and Bangladesh.
Pujara-Dravid may also be left behind
Once Virat Kohli scores 9 runs in the Kanpur Test, he will leave Cheteshwar Pujara behind at one point. Pujara is currently the third-highest run-scorer by an Indian batsman in Test cricket against Bangladesh. Pujara scored 468 runs in 5 Test matches against Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Virat has scored 460 runs in 7 Test matches. Kohli will also get a chance to surpass Rahul Dravid, who scored 560 runs in 7 Test matches against Bangladesh. To beat Dravid, Kohli has to score 101 runs. Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar tops the list with 820 runs in this tournament.
India has won 17 consecutive home Test series. Now, if they win or draw the Kanpur Test, it will be their 18th consecutive Test series win at home. Let us tell you that India is the first team to win 17 consecutive Test matches at home. Now he has a chance to further improve his record. The Kangaroos are second in this regard, having won ten consecutive Test matches at home. However, Australia are the first team to win twice in ten consecutive Test matches at home. He won his first series from November 1994 to November 2000. The second series was won between July 2004 and November 2008.
