The beauty of Test cricket is its longest format. In the five-day test, the players give their all to win their team. Even if a farce is created, they don’t mind. A similar scene came to the fore on the second day of the second test being played between India and Bangladesh.
Shanto Wanted To Take Out Time
On the second day, Team India got out after scoring 314 runs. Bangladesh had scored 7 runs by the end of the second day’s play. Opener Najmul Hossain Shanto remained unbeaten after scoring 5 runs in 25 balls, and Zakir Hasan scored 2 runs. Bangladesh was bowled out for just 227 runs in the first innings.
In such a situation, Bangladesh players wanted that after the dismissal of Team India, they did not give a chance to dominate with the new ball, and the day’s play ended early so that they could enter the field with a new strategy on the third day. That’s why Shanto wanted to take out time in any way possible.
Asked for change of bat and took the same bat ?
Well done shanto, you succeeded in wasting the time

Captain KL Rahul Got Angry
Indian captain KL Rahul was enraged by this act of his during drinks. It so happened that over drinks, Shanto ordered a new bat for himself. He called for four bats and chose the one he was already playing with. During this, Shanto kept trying every bat by holding it for a long time.
Indian captain KL Rahul standing behind, was watching him for a long time. As soon as Shanto picked up the bat and had a drink of water, KL came up and, looking at him, said something to his fellow players. Perhaps KL said why he was wasting time. Social media users have also got angry with this act of Shanto.
They got Out After Scoring 24 Runs In The First Innings.
Indian fans pulled him and said, Shanto, you have successfully wasted time. You can survive for a day but not for the whole match. Shanto was earlier dismissed after scoring just 24 runs in the first innings. He was shown the way to the pavilion by LBW Ravichandran Ashwin. By the end of the second day’s play, Bangladesh was trailing by 80 runs. It will be interesting to see how successful Shanto is in scoring runs on the third day.
