In the second Test being played between India and Australia, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma was out after scoring just 3 runs off 23 balls in the first innings. He was dismissed by Scott Boland in the first inning, which raised the question on his test form again.

In the last 11 Test innings, Rohit has not been able to score any big runs. Rohit was unavailable for the first test and joined the team for the second test after the birth of his new born son. However, he was not back at his favourite position as KL Rahul's good show at the top of the order made him come down to middle order for the pink ball test.

WI vs BAN: Bangladesh achieve this record after a historic win in the second test in Kingston

WI vs BAN: Bangladesh achieve this record after a historic win in the second test in Kingston - sportzpoint.com

Bangladesh scripted a history for themselves after beating West Indies in the second and last test of the WI vs BAN series by a massive 101 runs at Kingston on Tuesday. This was their first test win in West Indies since 2009. Taijul Islam (1/24 & 5/50) was the player of the match in the last test.

After getting thrashed in the first test, Bangladesh came back strong to draw the series by 1-1 and secure their third away win in 2024 - their most in a calendar year.

Except for Shadman Islam (64) and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz (36), none could stand against the fiery spells of Jayden Seales (4/5) and Shamar Joseph (3/49). The West Indian bowling line up was so impeccable that Jayden Seales registered the most economical figures in Test cricket since 1978, giving away just 5 runs in 15.5 overs while taking four wickets.

Shadman and Mehidy tried their bests but could not take Bangladesh over 200 in the first inning. 

Second Inning | West Indies 146

After a not-so-good show with the bat, Bangladesh made a quick turn around in the match by bundling out the home side for 146 in their first inning. Captain Kraigg Brathwaite tried to play a steady inning but after his dismissal at 39 from 129 balls, West Indian batting lineup fell like a house of cards. 

From 2/94, they were bowled out for 146 in just next 20 overs. Nahid Rana was the star of the show for Bangladesh, picking up his first five-wicket haul in test cricket with a fiery 5/61 in 18 overs.

Third Inning | Bangladesh 268

Despite having an important 18-run lead in the first inning, Bangladesh could not capitalize with their momentum. Mahmudul Hasan Joy returned to pavilion for a duck in the first over and Shadman Islam (46) had to solidify Bangladesh's inning again. But, after his dismissal, it was captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz (42 from 39 balls) who tried his best to take the counter attack to the West Indian bowlers. 

However, with Bangladesh at 193/5 at the end of Day 3's play, it was Jaker Ali who took them to a respectable score. Even after getting hit on the helmet early on Day 4, Jaker continued like a true fighter and scored his third test fifty in his third test match. 

He could have got his maiden test ton, if he was not forced to go for big shots while playing with the tail. With Zaker getting out on his best test score of 91, Bangladesh finished on 268 in the second innings, giving West Indies a 287 run target.

With the series on the line, Bangladesh bowlers had to come up with a great performance on Day 4 and Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed provided them the start they were looking for. After Taijul removed a solid looking Kraigg Brathwaite (43), and followed it up with the wicket of Alick Athanaze in his next over, Bangladesh were close to a historic victory.

Post Kavem Hodge's (55) wicket, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud and Naihid Rana ran through the West Indian tail to register a historic win for Bangladesh.

So before the start of the series, let's take a look at the Indian batters who scored the most runs in the Pink Ball Test. 

1# Virat Kohli | 277 Runs

Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli has a fine record against the pink-ball, having played all of India's four pink-ball matches so far. He leads the scoring chart in pink ball Test cricket for India. In six innings so far, he has scored 277 runs at an average of 46.16, with a century and fifty. His knock of 136* against Bangladesh in 2019 at Kolkata is the only century by an Indian in a pink-ball Test.

After having overcome a lean patch of form with a century at Perth, Virat would be raring to continue his golden run in Australia and at the Adelaide Oval.

2# Rohit Sharma | 173 Runs

Indian team captain Rohit Sharma comes second on the list scoring just one half-century in Pink Ball Tests, accumulating 173 runs in five matches at an average of 39. This will be Rohit Sharma’s first Day-Night Test match on foreign soil, as all three of his previous Pink Ball Tests were played in India. 

As an opener, Rohit will need to weather the new ball, especially during twilight and night sessions when the pink ball is at its most ferocious. It will be quite interesting to see how Rohit goes about his business in the upcoming game.

3# Shreyas Iyer | 159 Runs

Shreyas Iyer has played just one day-night Test match and has scored 159 runs in it. He put up knocks of 92 and 67 in the second test between India and Sri Lanka in 2022. India were 86/4 after electing to bat. Iyer shone with a blistering 92 off 98 deliveries, whipping 10 fours and four maximums. He played with the tail-enders and was the last man to be dismissed (252/10). India eventually won by 238 runs.

4# Ajinkya Rahane | 100 Runs

Ajinkya Rahane comes in 4th place with 100 runs in 3 matches. Rahane also scored a half-century against Bangladesh in 2019.

5# Cheteshwar Pujara | 98 Runs
