Team India Sets New World Records: Fastest 50, 100, And 200 In Test Cricket History

In a thrilling display of batting prowess, Team India made history at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur during the second Test against Bangladesh.

The aggressive batting performance left fans and experts amazed, showcasing the team’s determination to chase down an unlikely win.

India’s explosive batting began with openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who wasted no time in attacking the Bangladesh bowlers. The team reached the 50-run mark in just 3 overs, making it the fastest team fifty in Test history. This surpassed the previous record held by England, who had set the mark at 4.2 overs earlier this year against West Indies. Jaiswal led the charge, scoring a brisk 30 runs off 13 balls, while Rohit contributed with 23 runs off just 11 deliveries before being dismissed.

Fastest Team 100 Runs

Continuing their aggressive momentum, India reached the 100-run milestone in a record time of 10.1 overs. This feat broke their own previous record of scoring 100 runs in 12.2 overs against the West Indies earlier this year. Jaiswal and Shubman Gill formed a formidable partnership, with Jaiswal finishing his innings with an impressive 72 runs off 51 balls. As Jaiswal continued to dominate, No. 3 Shubman Gill joined him in punishing Bangladesh’s bowlers, swiftly taking India past the 100-run mark in just 10.1 overs.

Fastest Team 150 Runs

India’s aggressive approach did not stop at the century mark. They continued to set records by achieving 150 runs in just 18.2 overs, surpassing their own record of 21.1 overs set against West Indies. This remarkable achievement highlights India’s relentless pursuit of runs, further solidifying their dominance in this match.

 

Fastest Team 200 Runs

The record-breaking performance escalated as India crossed the 200-run mark in just 24.4 overs. This shattered the previous record of 28.1 overs set by Australia in 2017 against Pakistan. The innings was anchored by Virat Kohli, who scored 47 runs off 35 balls, and KL Rahul, who added a rapid 68 runs off 43 balls. Their aggressive batting style kept the scoreboard ticking, creating an exciting atmosphere for fans.

 

Fastest Team 250 Runs

The excitement reached its peak when India completed 250 runs in just 30.4 overs, breaking yet another record previously held by England, who reached the milestone in 33.6 overs against Pakistan. Rahul’s half-century, which came off just 33 balls, allowed India to reach this achievement.

 

India’s record-breaking performance in Kanpur not only showcased their batting capabilities but also set new standards in Test cricket. With remarkable achievements in the fastest team 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 runs, the team proved their mettle and left a lasting mark in the annals of cricket history.
