Till tomorrow

Bangladesh needs only 2️⃣4️⃣1️⃣ runs & India needs 4️⃣ wickets. The game will continue on Day 5️⃣.

Can Axar take another 2 wickets to make it a game for him & his side or will it be Siraj & Umesh who will play the trick?

Questions around!

Rahul Dravid can't select proper Playing-XI in T20 & ODI, can't read pitch and can't read situation in Test. His team selections & plannings are only for avoid to lose not for win.

Not as expected

Considering we have been one of the top test teams these past few years, the Bangladesh test hasn't been a cake walk as i expected it to be.
