India captain Rohit Sharma was seen in great touch in the ongoing second Test match against Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. He smashed back-to-back sixes to get off the mark. However, his reaction after successfully reviewing the LBW call during the 2nd Test against Bangladesh really showcased his passion and commitment. When he was given out by umpire Richard Kettleborough, it could have been a pivotal moment in the match. Instead, his brilliant use of the DRS not only kept him at the crease but also highlighted his determination to fight for every run. His emotional response reflected the pressure of the situation and the importance of contributing to his team's success. 

 

Rohit scored 23 runs in 11 balls which helped India to score the team's fastest 50, 100, and 150 in the history of Test cricket. Rohit, Jaiswal just took 18 balls to make the fastest 50 Test runs for a team. Both batters went berserk, unleashing an assault that left Bangladesh shellshocked.
