Team India cantered home to an easy 7-wicket win during the Kanpur Test on Tuesday. The 2-0 series win showed why the Indians are considered one of the most dangerous sides in cricket today. The brutal assault by the home team batters in the first innings played even the much-hyped Baz-Ball in comparison.
Rohit Sharma will be a happy skipper as his team ticked all the boxes during the series. KL Rahul was given a chance to prove his worth and the 32-year-old didn’t fail to prove a point. Shubman Gill continued his fine form with the bat while Rishabh Pant made an emphatic return to Test cricket.
India now has 15 days before the next assignment will begin at home. Most of the players have been rested for the T20I series against Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma and Co will not take New Zealand lightly despite their huge loss to Sri Lanka recently. Almost all the players will be itching to get back on the field for the 3-match series starting on 16th October.
Here are the top 3 performers for India during the recent series against Bangladesh
3. Yashasvi Jaiswal
2024 has been an excellent year for Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Test format. The left-handed batter batted in all four innings and scored 189 runs. Jaiswal hit 3 fifties and had an average of 47.25 with his rare failure coming in the 2nd innings of the Chennai Test. Jaiswal began with 56 in the first innings of the Chennai Test. During the Kanpur Test, Jaiswal scored 72 and 51 to help India win the game with ease.
2. Jasprit Bumrah
Rohit Sharma has always turned to Jasprit Bumrah whenever the going gets tough. The 30-year-old hasn’t left his team down as he picked 11 wickets from the 2 games he played. Bumrah began the series with 4/50 in the first innings of the Chennai Test before picking 1 wicket in the 2nd innings. The right-arm seamer picked 6 wickets for 67 runs during the Kanpur Test as he ran through the lower order whenever Rohit needed a wicket.
1. Ravichandran Ashwin
Veteran Indian star Ravichandran Ashwin was the biggest difference maker for India during the Chennai Test. At one stage the home team were 144/6 but R.
