While Yashasvi Jaiswal collected the ‘Player of the Match’ award after notching up two half-centuries in the match (72 and 51), Ravichandran Ashwin bagged the ‘Player of the series’ award for the 11th time in his career.

Here’s looking back at the milestones and records equalled, made, and broken during the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur:

1) Indian batting’s blitzkrieg – When India came out to bat for the first time in the match, the batters broke the records of the fastest team 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250. The duo of Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal notched up 50 in three overs, surpassing England’s record of achieving the feat in 4.2 overs against West Indies in July.

To reach hundred, the side did it in 10.1 overs, surpassing its own record that it set in 2023 against West Indies when the feat was achieved in 12.2 overs.

2) Virat Kohli completes 27,000 international runs – The batter became the fastest-ever player to cross 27,000 international runs during the second Test between India and Bangladesh. He surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 27,000 runs in 623 innings, by scaling the record in 594 innings.

3) Ravindra Jadeja’s 300th Test wicket – He became the first Indian left-arm spinner to reach 300 Test wickets. The 35-year-old tweaker achieved this milestone by dismissing Khaled Ahmed in his 10th over of the first innings. In the match, he picked up four scalps.

4) Bumrah continues productive 2024 – With his six-wicket match haul, the prolific pacer now has the joint-most Test wickets in this year (38). He is tied with Sri Lanka’s Prabath Jayasuriya.

5) Ashwin equals Muralitharan’s record – After a smashing century and six wickets in the first Test in Chennai, Ashwin took six more scalps in Kanpur to equal Muthiah Muralitharan’s record of most ‘Player of the Series’ awards in Test cricket (11).

6) Jaiswal hitting big – The 22-year-old opener notched up his half-century in the first innings in just 31 balls to record the joint third-fastest half century by an India batter in Tests. He now shares this feat with Shardul Thakur, who did the same in 2021 against England.

7) Mominul Haque’s special ton – The former skipper became just the second batter from Bangladesh to score a Test century in India. The 35-year-old completed his 13th Test century in 172 balls to join Mushfiqur Rahim in the list of Bangladesh centurions away against India.

8) Shadman Islam’s first – The southpaw became the first Bangladesh opener to score a half-century in Tests in India.
