After two days of no play due to bad weather and wet conditions at Green Park in Kanpur, cricket fans finally had something to cheer about as the sun shone brightly on Day 4 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh. The bright, sunny conditions were a welcome relief for both teams and fans, allowing the much-anticipated action to resume. With the match finely balanced, both sides were eager to make an impact after the lengthy interruption.

Jasprit Bumrah cleans up Mushfiqur Rahim

India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah wasted no time in getting India back on track as he claimed the crucial wicket of Mushfiqur Rahim early in the day. The breakthrough came on the second ball of the 40th over, and it was a moment that showcased Bumrah’s ability to unsettle even experienced batsmen. Mushfiqur’s dismissal came from a complete misjudgment, as he opted to leave a ball that came back sharply and clipped the top of off-stump.

Bumrah’s set-up was masterful, starting with a similar delivery just a ball earlier, which caused Mushfiqur to prod tentatively. The first delivery was fuller and nipped back, planting a seed of doubt in the batter’s mind. Bumrah capitalized on that indecision, following up with another nip-backer, but this time on a length that convinced Mushfiqur to leave it. The result was a spectacular sight for Indian fans as the ball took the top of off-stump, sending Mushfiqur back to the pavilion and giving India a much-needed early wicket.

This was a big moment for India, as Mushfiqur is one of Bangladesh’s most dependable batsmen, especially in tough conditions. Bumrah’s breakthrough provided the momentum India needed, immediately putting Bangladesh on the back foot.

Kohli, known for his animated celebrations, ran from the slips to join Bumrah, pointing at the bowler and gesturing as if acknowledging a well-executed plan. Kohli’s reaction suggested that the team had meticulously planned the strategy to outfox Mushfiqur, and the joy on his face reflected the satisfaction of executing it perfectly.

Kohli’s enthusiasm was infectious, lifting the spirits of the entire team. His celebration was a reminder of how closely-knit the Indian unit is, and how much they back each other’s abilities. The passionate show of emotion not only energized the players but also pumped up the fans, who were finally able to witness some action after two days of inactivity.
