During the 2nd Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur, Indian pacer Akash Deep impressed with consecutive sixes against Shakib Al Hasan. The first six came with a straight shot down the ground, and the second was a powerful heave towards deep mid-wicket, demonstrating Akash Deep’s clean hitting ability.
However, soon after the explosive hitting, KL Rahul fell to Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Attempting to keep the momentum going for India, Rahul stepped out early, but Mehidy shortened the delivery and got it to skid across. Rahul tried to adjust and play a cut shot but missed, and the ball went past the top edge. Wicketkeeper Litton Das was quick to remove the bails, resulting in Rahul’s stumping.
Rahul’s solid innings ended at 68 off 43 balls, including 7 fours and 2 sixes, contributing significantly to India’s quick runs before his dismissal. At the time of his dismissal, India led by 51 runs with a score of 284/8 in 34.1 overs.
