The Indian cricket team somehow defeated Bangladesh in the second test match. The host team made it difficult for India to reach the target of 145 runs. In such a situation, Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin became the savior for Team India. Both of them shared a 71-run partnership to win India. But during this time there also came a time when an atmosphere of tension was created in the dressing room. Captain KL Rahul has disclosed this.
India had to score 145 runs and on the third day they lost their four wickets for just 45 runs. On the fourth day, India started with this score and lost three more wickets. The team lost the wickets of Jaydev Unadkat, Rishabh Pant and Akshar Patel but Iyer and Ashwin saved India’s shame.
What was the atmosphere in the dressing room?
Rahul said, “Obviously when someone does consistently well it is a very good thing. Iyer has been doing this work for Team India for a long time. He was waiting for his chance for a long time and when he got the opportunity, he grabbed it. He is doing a good job for the team. The way he was playing was fantastic. He made things very easy.
He said, “There was a bit of panic in the dressing room but it didn’t seem like when we were watching Iyer bat, we didn’t feel that there was panic. Iyer and Ashwin made a good partnership.
