The 2nd Test match between India and Bangladesh has seen a lot of drama already, but on day four, while Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were batting, Khaled Ahmed made a blunder in the fielding, giving Kohli a lifeline. In the 18th over, Ahmed bowled a good length outside off delivery, and Kohli went to drive the ball. The ball was kept low, and the batters thought of stealing a run. 

However, Pant denied the run while Kohli was half-way down the pitch. The bowler caught the ball and ran towards the stumps to dismiss Kohli, but he made a huge mishap as he missed the simplest of the run-outs and couldn't hit the stumps. 

But Kohli got frustrated after the incident and gave a deadly look to Pant for denying the run. Soon after that, Pant ran towards Kohli, hugged him, and ended the tension between them. Kohli survived the run-out and smashed a boundary in the next ball with a smile on his face. After Rohit Sharma's wicket, the wickets kept falling regularly. As we write, Kohli is batting on 19 runs off 13 balls, including three boundaries, and KL Rahul is on eight runs off six balls.

Records broken on day four of 2nd Test match between IND vs BAN

On one single day, India broke multiple records with their fiery batting against Bangladesh at Green Park, Kanpur. India's inning started with Jaiswal and Rohit's quick batting performance as India are clearly eyeing to win the game. In three overs, India scored 50 runs, breaking England's record. India then became the fastest team to score a century in a Test match and then went on to become the fastest team to score 150 runs. 

The game has been going great so far, but four wickets have fallen for 180 runs, and the current batters will have to keep the momentum going. All the stroke-hitting players are dismissed, and now everything depends on Kohli and Rahul to change the game's situation.
