Mon Sep 30 17:36:02 UTC 2024: ## India Shatters Test Cricket Records with Explosive Opening Partnership
**Kanpur, India:** The Indian cricket team has set a new record for the fastest 50-run partnership in Test cricket during the second Test against Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium. Openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal achieved this feat in a blistering three overs, eclipsing the previous record held by England.
The English team had set the benchmark at 4.2 overs during their match against the West Indies earlier this year. This is the second record India has broken in this match, as they also surpassed their own previous record for the fastest 100 runs in Test cricket.
Jaiswal, with a whirlwind 67 runs off just 40 balls, was the driving force behind the record-breaking 100, which came in a mere 10.1 overs. India’s previous record for the fastest century stood at 12.2 overs, achieved in a match against the West Indies in Port of Spain.
The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, are clearly aiming for a decisive victory in this Test match. Despite limited time remaining, they are aggressively pursuing a large first-innings total, indicating their desire to secure a win rather than settle for a draw.
