ind vs ban rohit sharma created som unique records during toss kanpur test

The second test match is being played between India and Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The toss was delayed due to wet outfield after rain and when the toss took place, some records were made which are exciting. Actually, Team India won the toss and captain Rohit Sharma decided to bowl first. This is the first time after 9 years that India chose to bowl first after winning the toss in a home Test match.

Virat Kohli had done this work before captain Rohit Sharma. In 2015, Virat Kohli had won the toss against South Africa in Bengaluru and decided to bowl first. However, that test match was drawn. Due to rain, only a total of 59 overs could be played.

Whereas if we talk about Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, this is the first time since 1964 that the captain has chosen to bowl first after winning the toss. In 1964, Indian captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi had decided to bowl first against England. That test match was also a draw. Apart from this, if we talk about the Test matches to be held in India, then this is only the first time when the captain who won the toss in two back to back Test matches has decided to bowl first. This has happened twice in the India vs Sri Lanka three-match Test series in 1997, but at that time it had not happened in two matches back to back.
