Rain Drama Delays Toss, Wet Outfield Halts India-Bangladesh Second Test Start

The big stage is set for the second Test match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The Green Park Stadium is all set to host the thrilling encounter. India is high on their confidence after a massive 280-run win in the first Test. On the other hand, Bangladesh is eyeing an exciting comeback. But the match has taken an exciting turn. Due to the wet outfield, the toss has been delayed and the match is expected to start around 10:30 AM. 

Delayed Start Due to Wet Outfield:

After the first match, India and Bangladesh have been headed to Kanpur for the series’s second and last Test match. On the first day, Team India registered a dominating victory. On a thrilling display, the home team thrashed the visitors by a giant 280-run win. That huge win gave them a massive boost to the World Test Championship points table. 

But the second Test match has taken a dramatic turn. The toss for the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium, Kanpur, has been delayed due to a wet outfield. Overnight rain in the city left the ground conditions unsuitable for play. As a result, the toss could not take place at the scheduled time.

However, it has been announced that the toss will now occur at 10 am. The match is expected to start at 10:30 am. The delay in the start of play is solely due to the wet outfield. Groundsmen are working to ensure the field is ready for action, and fans can expect the game to begin soon.

Team India Will be Looking for a Whitewash:

After a long break, Team India came back to the longest format through this series. On the flip side, Bangladesh whitewashed Pakistan in their previous Test assignment. But they faced a massive setback at the beginning of the Test series. Even after facing a problem with the top batting order, Team India showcased exciting commitment. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja’s exceptional partnership added fuel to the team’s innings. The pacer did a remarkable job while bowling in the first innings. 

There was nothing different in the second innings. After the top order was dismissed early on, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant made an outstanding partnership. After making Test comeback after a long, Pant scored a century and Gill remained unbeaten scoring 119 runs. After showcasing magic with the bat in the first innings, Adswin secured a magnificent 6-wicket haul in the second and India registered a huge win. 

India will look to complete a clean sweep against Bangladesh in the second and final Test at Green Park, Kanpur, starting Friday. Captain Rohit Sharma and veteran Virat Kohli will aim to regain form after struggling in the first Test. With the WTC final approaching, India will be eager for a strong win at home. Fans anticipate another exciting five-day contest.
