Rohit Sharma's Masterplan Stuns Bangladesh Star In 2nd Test, Sunil Gavaskar In Awe

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.

"Great captaincy from Rohit Sharma. He fully deserves the credit here, putting a leg slip for someone like Mominul who plays the sweep shot a lot," he said after the Bangladesh star's dismissal.
