KANPUR- India defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets to notch up a thrilling win in the 2nd Test at Kanpur on Tuesday and completed a 2-0 sweep. The bowling trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja scalped three wickets each to bowl Bangladesh out for 146, before India knocked off an under par 95-run target with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring his second half-century of the match.
The victory will go down as one of India's finest as it took them just two and a half days – seven sessions to be precise – to wrap up the Test after rain threatened to rob the home team of six crucial points in the World Test Championship cycle. Despite losing the entire day to rain and then another to Kanpur's wet outfield, India played out of their skins to force a result when all seemed lost less than 48 hours ago.
