India’s National Cricket Team captain, Rohit Sharma, showcased an explosive batting performance reminiscent of T20 cricket during the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh at Green Park, Kanpur, which began on September 27. From the moment he stepped onto the field, Rohit adopted an aggressive approach, attacking the bowlers with an unrelenting fervor that electrified the crowd.
Rohit spectacularly launched his innings, stepping down the track to hit the very first ball he faced for a colossal six. His onslaught didn’t stop there; on the very next delivery, he launched another massive six into the stands, marking his intent to score runs quickly and decisively. In just his first five balls, he managed to hit three towering sixes, creating an atmosphere of excitement and chaos among the spectators.

During the fourth ball of his innings, a delivery from Mehidy Hasan Miraz struck him on the pads as he attempted a pull shot. The umpire quickly raised his finger, declaring him out, which led to an immediate outburst from the captain. Confident in his stance, Rohit opted for the Decision Review System (DRS). The ball tracking showed that the impact was outside the line, resulting in the umpire overturning his decision and marking him not out.
