The second match of the 2 Test series against Bangladesh is to be played in Mirpur from 22 to 26 December. In the first match of this series, India defeated Bangladesh by a huge margin of 188 runs. If Team India manages to win the second match as well, then the ICC World Test Championship will gain strength in the points table of 2021-23. But, apart from this, Indian team’s experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and batsman Cheteshwar Pujara can also create history in this Test match along with great run-getter Virat Kohli.
A chance for Virat Kohli as well
History tells that Sachin Tendulkar against Bangladesh Test Match has scored the most runs in the Test matches played between India and Bangladesh so far. Sachin played a total of 7 Test matches against Bangladesh in his career, in which he scored 820 runs. At the same time, there will be a chance for Team India’s former skipper and current batsman Virat Kohli to touch or cross the 500-run mark in Test cricket against Bangladesh.
If, in the second test match, Virat Kohli scores 88 runs in the second test match, he will cross the 500 mark. And, he will become the third batsman to do so. After Sachin, Dravit scored a total of 560 runs in Test cricket against Bangladesh. Apart from these, Cheteshwar Pujara will also have a chance to cross this figure. He is currently with 438 runs against Bangladesh.
Ravichandran Ashwin can also name a new record
If Ravichandran Ashwin scores 11 runs in the second Test match against Bangladesh (BAN vs IND 2nd Test Match, Mirpur Bangladesh, 2022), then he will touch the 3000-run mark in Test career. If this happens, his name will be recorded in history along with Kapil Dev, Shane Warne, Richard Hadlee and Shaun Pollock in terms of taking more than 400 wickets and scoring 3000 runs. Significantly, Ravichandran Ashwin has taken 443 wickets in Test cricket so far.
