India captain Rohit Sharma once again proved his astute captaincy skills as the team bounced back from a weather-related setback in the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh to clinch a series-sealing win. As India took on Bangladesh in the 2nd Test at Green Park Stadium, more than two days' play was washed out due to rain and wet outfield in Kanpur, prompting the hosts to come up with an ultra-aggressive strategy when the game resumed on Day 4. On the 5th day, Rohit came up with an exquisite plan to dismiss Bangladesh's Mominul Haque, the team's top-scoring batter in the first innings. Rohit's masterplan even impressed Sunil Gavaskar, who was doing commentary during that phase of play.
