India's 9 world records against Bangladesh bowlers
What the Indian batsmen started, it looked like it wasn't a live Test match on TV, but the highlights of a T-Ten match!
After taking a heavy beating in the beginning, however, the Bangladeshi bowlers showed signs of turning around. Shakib-Miraj-Hasan took 4 wickets in a short time. However, Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul have once again batted in a fierce manner for the fifth wicket. In the end, India declared the end of the first innings after losing 9 wickets and scoring 285 runs ahead of Bangladesh by 52 runs.

However, the hosts have already set nine world records in a devastating batting display today on the fourth day of the Kanpur Test. The world record started courtesy of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. The next 8 were party-wise.
Rohit hit the first two balls he faced in the innings. This is the fourth time in Test history that such an incident has taken place. But Rohit was the only opener to hit sixes in the first two balls he faced. Rohit is also the first batsman to hit a pacer for a six off the first two balls he faced. The 'Hitman' hit Khaled Ahmed's first ball over long-on, the next six over deep square leg after 6 months.
The first 2 balls faced in Tests are sixes

The other three to achieve this feat are West Indies' Foffy Williams and India's Sachin Tendulkar and Umesh Yadav. All four times the batsmen were from the home team. But three events of the century—before Rohit in Kanpur today, Umesh Yadav hit the first two sixes in the 2019 Ranchi Test against South Africa over George Linder. In the 2013 Chennai Test, Tendulkar was hit by Nathan Lyon against Australia.
Fofie Williams achieved this feat in the 1948 Bridgetown Test. The bowler was England's Jim Laker. The Laker, who after 4 years became the first bowler in Test history to take 10 wickets in an innings. Both Williams and Laker have long since crossed over. India's next eight world records are unlikely to be broken by any team in the near future. In 147 years of Test history, the fastest team scores of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250—all records are now in India's possession.
Apart from this, the fastest pair to score 50 for any wicket in Tests, the highest number of sixes in a calendar year and the highest run rate in a complete innings - these records are now held by India.
