How India fared in Test matches in Kanpur:

However, Rohit’s decision to bowl first did not yield immediate results, as pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj struggled to make early breakthroughs despite favourable overcast conditions. Bumrah’s length was slightly short, while Siraj managed to find the outside edge, but the ball either died down before reaching the slip fielder or flew past the gully.

Akash Deep’s brilliant spell

Akash Deep made an impact right from the start, hitting a good length consistently. He provided a crucial breakthrough in his first over, dismissing Zakir Hasan with a brilliant diving catch by Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Later, Akash trapped Shadman Islam in front of the stumps with the help of the Decision Review System (DRS), which overturned the on-field umpire’s decision.

Akash reaped the rewards of his consistent bowling, honed through years of experience in domestic cricket, where he has relentlessly worked on hitting the right areas.
