NEW DELHI: During the second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur, Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that the team considered forfeiting an inning. This discussion emerged due to disruptions by rain and a wet outfield, which washed out more than two days of play time.
On Day 4, Bangladesh continued their inning at 107/3. With limited time left in the match, and India eager for a result, the team debated this strategy. Ashwin shared that they discussed this option because of the challenging weather and the intense heat impacting the players.
