The Indian cricket team has reached a significant milestone in Test cricket. Rain washed out the second Test against Bangladesh in just half a day, leading the players to respond decisively. The Indian team attacked fiercely, scoring runs in a T20 style and bowling Bangladesh out for 233 runs before the fourth day of the T20 match.
Captain Rohit Sharma and opener Jay Shree Jwal set a new record by scoring the fastest 50 runs in Test cricket, achieving this in only 3 overs. Yash Swami blasted 30 runs off 13 balls, while Rohit contributed 19 runs in just 6 balls. Rohit got out after scoring 2 runs off 1 ball, leaving India at 23 runs in 71 balls.
Before this, England held the record for the fastest 50 runs in Test cricket, reaching it in 4.8 overs against the West Indies. In July, England broke their own 30-year-old record. Now, India claims the top spot for the fastest 50 runs, pushing England to third place.
India also set a new world record for the fastest 100 runs in Test cricket, reaching this milestone in just 10.1 overs. The previous record for the fastest 100 runs was also held by India, who had scored 100 runs in 10.8 overs.
