Kanpur: Indian batters went on the rampage to better their own records of fastest team hundred and 150 in men’s Test cricket while resetting the record for the quickest fifty on the fourth day of the rain-affected second match against Bangladesh here on Monday.

Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered 10 fours and a six to make the fourth fastest fifty for an Indian batter after Rohit Sharma’s early fireworks (23 off 11 balls, 3x6s, 1x4s), as the 50-run mark was breached in a mere three overs at the Green Park on Monday.

India thus broke England’s record of scoring the fastest team fifty in 4.2 overs which they had registered against the West Indies at Trent Bridge in July this year.

While Jaiswal continued with his aggressive approach, No. 3 Shubman Gill also joined in to punish the Bangladesh bowlers as India crossed the triple-figure mark in 10.1 overs, improving their own record.

India had recorded the fastest century for any team in terms of overs faced when they went past the 100-run mark in 12.2 overs against the West Indies at Port of Spain in 2023.

India crossed the 150-run mark in 18.2 overs, bettering their own record achieved in 21.1 overs against the Windies at Port of Spain last year. 

Indian batters went all guns blazing in reply to Bangladesh’s 233 all out in the first innings. Only 35 overs of play was possible on the first three days due to persistent rain and ground conditions.
