India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 4 was a riveting chapter in the ongoing cricket saga, taking place at the picturesque Kanpur grounds.

Their aim was to claw back; every ball bowled felt like a game of chicken—a calculated risk on their part.

As excitement brewed, records fell like marbles on a polished floor. Indian batsmen weren't just content with a good game; they shattered the record for the fastest team hundred and fifty in men's Test cricket, with Rohit Sharma and Jaisasvi Jaiswal leading this improbable charge.
