Ind vs Ban Test Day 5: Victory in Sight in Kanpur, India's Bowlers Work Their Magic, Bangladesh's Troubles Increase

New Delhi | The Indian cricket team delivered an outstanding performance in the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh, strengthening their hopes for victory. On the final day of the match, India took 9 wickets in the visitors' second innings, bringing the game almost under their control. After starting the fourth day at 26 runs for 2 wickets, Bangladesh lost 7 wickets quickly in the first session of the fifth day. Overall, Bangladesh scored 140 runs and took a lead of 88 runs against India.

The fifth day of play began with Ravichandran Ashwin taking the wicket of Mominul Haque, who had scored a century in the first innings. Following this, Ravindra Jadeja clean-bowled captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. Bangladesh's batting collapsed completely, with batsmen returning to the pavilion one after another. Opener Shadman Islam managed to score 50 runs, but no other batsman could stay at the crease. Experienced Mushfiqur Rahim was struggling, but it seemed insufficient to bring the team out of trouble.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets each, while Jasprit Bumrah took 2 and Akash Deep claimed 1 wicket.
