IND vs BAN: In the first innings of the Test match between Bangladesh and India, the Indian team scored 404 runs. In response, the Bangladeshi team became disorganised and was eventually all out for just 150 runs. India had the opportunity to bat again after Bangladesh made such a low score, but they preferred to bat again instead. This has been the subject of heated discussion across social media platforms. We’ll explain to you why Team India chose not to continue while you wait.
Bowlers will take a break
One of the explanations for the Indian team’s follow-on could be to rest the bowlers. The bowlers have been bowling continuously for one and a half days; as a result, there is a risk of injury from continuous bowling. As a result, if the Indian team bats today for the entire day, the bowlers will rest and be ready to play with all of their might tomorrow. could potentially ruin Bangladesh’s condition.
No advantage in the World Test Championship’s points standings
Even though the Indian team could have defeated Bangladesh before 254 runs by continuing the game, this would not have changed India’s position in the points standings. Each team in the World Test Championship is awarded six points for a victory, regardless of whether they win by one inning or by playing both innings. If no special points are available in such a scenario, the team did not want to take the risk.
Chance to establish a rhythm will benefit the batsmen
Allowing the batsmen to stay at the crease longer might be another factor in the Indian team’s decision to forego the follow-on. Shreyas Iyer and Cheteshwar Pujara batted well in the first innings, but Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and other batsmen were dismissed early. The team would like to give them another chance to make up for their error in this inning. The team will have a better chance of beating Bangladesh and avoiding a major upset if it bats well and scores a large total in this innings.
Aakash Chopra agreed with the team’s choice
Aakash Chopra, a commentator and former cricket player, has also offered his opinion on the controversy surrounding the Indian team’s follow-on and has backed the choice. He responded to a tweet from a user going by the name of Anoop, who stated that the match still has 2.5 days left to go, so why rush? I completely concur with what Akash Chopra wrote about this. The game still has 2.5 days to go.
