Speeding bus mows down pedestrian at MG Road more, driver flee
India set a new world record for the fastest team fifty in the history of Test cricket, completing the milestone in just 3 overs. The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal achieved this feat against Bangladesh in Kanpur, in 2024.
This record-breaking performance surpassed the previous fastest fifty, held by England, who reached the fifty-run mark in 4.2 overs against West Indies earlier this year.
India's aggressive approach in the opening session set the tone for the match, as the duo hammered the Bangladesh bowlers to every corner of the ground. The previous record for the fastest fifty had been set by England multiple times, but none came close to India’s blistering start.
The landmark moment highlighted India’s dominant approach and added to their growing reputation in the Test format, showcasing how even in the longest format of the game, aggressive strategies can lead to extraordinary records.
