Its a quite frustrating for the team and players and fans to watch a small chunk of the match due to rain and wet outfield issues but the way both teams batted very quickly show that they want a result from this game especially team India its interesting to see the day 5 of this test match.

Yes, I also wished that we could see a result in the match but not possible in the current circumstances. Also, I thought Virat Kohli could come to bat early but Rohit Sharma gave a chance to Pant before him. In the last game, Pant scored very well and lead the team through the victory. He was not named the player of the match but still in the scoring innings, his century helped India a lot. Anyway, this time I was looking Virat Kohli in good strength and as he started to play fast as one day. He was playing today with a strike rate of 134 but out after scoring 47 runs. As he started, he gave us hope for more than 70 runs but still performed better than the last innings.

On the fourth day of the second Test match between Bangladesh and India, after seeing India's innings, I didn't think they were playing a Test match at all. From the start, captain Rohit Sharma and another opener batsman Jayasal started batting in T20 style even as they tried to score runs at a very fast pace. Maybe their aim was to surpass the few runs scored by Bangladesh and put up a strong innings against Bangladesh. Comparing the run and ball statistics of Indian batsmen shows that they have more runs than balls.

But it is good that the few Indian batsmen who tried to score quick runs were mostly dismissed by the spin bowlers. Especially Virat Kohli's outs and Rohit Sharma's outs were spectacular. By dismissing Virat Kohli yesterday, Shakib Al Hasan created another record which is the most dismissals of Virat Kohli by Shakib Al Hasan among Asian bowlers.
