25 Not Out In 10 Balls - Umesh Yadav's Brisk Cameo Has Got The Internet On Fire
He smashed 3 sixes and a four.
On a day when Mayank Agarwal got a double hundred and India amassed almost 500 on the board, who would have thought Umesh Yadav would be the highlight with the bat despite scoring just 25 runs? Well the only thing was that these 25 runs came in just 10 balls and as Day 2 drew to a close it proved to be good entertainment at the end of the day.

They were not slogs, but good shots which found the middle of the bat. Bangladesh were already down and out, but this fearless batting pretty much left them dazed. Not the first time he has done it though. Against South Africa he made 31 in 10 balls and hit 5 sixes.

Umesh's late burst helped India amass 493/6 to take a lead of 343 with 3 days to go. The odds of Bangladesh saving, let alone winning, looks pretty bleak as India look to bat them out of the game. The idea is to inflict an innings defeat, the way things are looking it is very much on the cards.

Bangladesh have never beaten India in Tests.
