If there is a best example of turning the situation in one's favor in the cricket field, then Kanpur Test can be placed at the top of it. The second test match played between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur ended in just 6 sessions and the result was something that no one had imagined till a day before. Team India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets on the fifth day of the test match and also won the series. Team India achieved this victory in just 312 balls, which is one of the matches won in the least number of balls in the history of test cricket. Along with this, it also maintained its winning streak that has been going on for the last 12 years.

On the last day of the match on Tuesday, 1 October, at Green Park Stadium, Team India bowled out Bangladesh for just 146 runs in the second innings. In this way, India got a target of just 95 runs to win and Team India achieved this target without any trouble by losing 3 wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored another brilliant half-century in the match, while Virat Kohli also returned after leading the team to victory.

Won in just 312 balls, did not play a single maiden

Team India had scored 285 runs in just 34.4 overs in the first innings and declared the innings. Then the Indian team achieved this target in just 17.2 overs. That is, Team India finished the match in just 312 balls, which is one of the victories recorded in the least number of balls in the history of Test cricket. Team India batted with a run rate of more than 7 runs per over in both the innings, which is also a new record for the fastest batting in the history of Test cricket.

Everyone saw the explosive batting of Team India but the statistics of this victory make it even more special. More special than the record of least balls and fastest run rate was that Team India did not let a single over go maiden in this entire match. This is only the second time in Test cricket that a team did not bowl a single maiden over in a match. Earlier in 1939, England won the Test against South Africa without playing a single maiden over.

Continuation of the series since 4306 days

This series win against Bangladesh has maintained the amazing dominance of Team India at home. It has been 4306 days since Team India has not lost a Test series at home. Before this, India had to face a series defeat at home against England in December 2012. What makes this fact even more special is that the Indian team has not even drawn a series, let alone lost a series. Since 2013, India has played 18 Test series at home and has won every series.
