On Friday, India’s Cheteshwar Pujara reached the milestone of 7,000 runs scored throughout all of his Test matches. On Day 2 of the present second Test against Bangladesh, which is taking place at the Sher-e-Bangla International Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, he was able to accomplish the feat.
In the 19th over of the day, Cheteshwar Pujara took three runs off of Shakib Al Hasan by sweeping him. This allowed him to attain the milestone. Cheteshwar Pujara, who was out for 24 after being bowled by Taijul Islam, also surpassed the legendary Australian batter Sir Donaldo Bradman (6,996) on the list of batters who have scored the most runs in the history of Test cricket.
The right-handed batsman became the eighth Indian player in the history of test cricket to surpass the 7000-run mark.
In addition to Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sunil Gavaskar, VVS Laxman, and Virender Sehwag, the following hitters have reached this milestone: Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli, and Virender Sehwag. At the end of the first innings, he had 7,008 runs in the test.
In the second innings of the first test match, he had achieved a century (102 not out), which assisted India in setting a big target for the home team.
With 15921 runs scored throughout 329 test innings, Sachin Tendulkar holds the title of highest run scorer in the history of test cricket.
On Day 1 of the second Test match that is currently taking place at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Thursday, India got the upper hand as Bangladesh was bowled out for 227 thanks to four-wicket hauls from Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav. The match is currently in its second day.
India was able to bowl out Bangladesh for 227 thanks to the efforts of Ashwin, Umesh, and Unadkat, who each took four wickets. Unadkat also contributed to India’s success by taking two wickets.
The game was called due to poor lighting with India’s total at 19/0 and Shubman Gill (14*) and KL Rahul (3*) still at the crease with no one having been dismissed. At the end of the first day, the visitors are in a position where they are behind by 208 runs.
Bangladesh has already been bowled out for 227 points before Stumps. India’s Shubman Gill and KL Rahul opened the innings for the Men in Blue despite the fact that their team was already behind by 227 runs. Their performance featured a healthy dose of both aggression and caution.
An appeal for leg before wicket was made against KL Rahul in the eighth over of India’s first innings. Fortunately for him, the appeal was unsuccessful, and he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
After being hit on the pads by a delivery from Shakib Al Hasan, the on-field umpire gave him the signal to be out. In spite of this, the judgement was reversed after it was reviewed by DRS.
