During the India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test match in Kanpur, a Bangladeshi fan, Robi, was attacked by the crowd and was sent to the hospital by the authorities. As per reports, authorities claimed that it was a case of dehydration and they can't confirm anything without consulting the doctor. However, a video surfaced on the internet where the reason behind their outrage was revealed. 

The Bangladeshi fan Robi was seen abusing Indian players, especially pacer Mohammed Siraj during the match. Hence, the crowd couldn't control their anger, and the matter escalated. As per some fans, Robi was also disrespecting other Indian cricketers, which didn't sit well with the crowd as they are extremely protective of their players. 

Robi was found near the C Block entrance where he wasn't able to breathe. Then, the authorities took him out of the stadium, where he was seen sitting on a chair. One of the cops said, "One of our officers found him gasping for breath near the C block entrance, and he was struggling to speak. It seems like a case of dehydration, but we will wait for the doctor's advice."

Rain plays spoilsport in 2nd Test match between India and Bangladesh

In the 2nd Test match between India and Bangladesh, rain played the spoilsport as the day ended way ahead of the allotted time due to bad lighting and constant rain. Bangladesh scored 107-3 on day 1 with the help of Mominul Haque, who scored 40 runs off 81 balls, including seven boundaries.

Skipper Shanto, too, gave his best as he scored 31 runs off 57 balls, including six boundaries. Akash Deep was the standout player of day 1, taking two wickets and helping India achieve an important breakthrough. Apart from him, Ravichandran Ashwin clinched another wicket of skipper Shanto, which was extremely crucial. The timings of the game will increase if the rain stops in the upcoming days.
