Rain wiped away the first two days of the second Test against Bangladesh, thus KL Rahul revealed captain Rohit Sharma’s strategy to win the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh ahead of the fifth day of play. Rainfall on two of the three days of the India vs. Bangladesh Test caused significant disruptions to the drainage system on Day 3. The match was cancelled owing to a soggy outfield on day three even though there was no rain.
Notwithstanding the loss of two days, the Indian squad is intent on winning the series. Day 4 saw India collect 285 runs in 34.4 overs, thanks to outstanding knocks of 23 in 11 balls and 72 in 51 balls from the opening pair, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, the bowlers also gave a terrific display and made things difficult for the visitors, dismissing them for a mere 233 runs.
Rahul, who opened the series with 68 runs off 43 balls, provided some insight into what Rohit Sharma had in mind to win the series. According to him, everyone was told by Sharma to go for the win instead of settling for a series tie.
“From the beginning, the message was really clear. The rain cost us a few of days. The weather caused us to miss much of the game, but we still wanted to see what we could accomplish in the remaining time. The strategy was straightforward: figure out how to play to win. We had good vibes,” Rahul remarked.
“Rohit sent a very clear message. We attempted to achieve it even if we lost a few wickets because Rohit’s message was so clear that it didn’t matter if we were out,” he continued.
Former cricket player Saba Karim commends Rohit Sharma’s ability to make decisions.
