India stars, including Rishabh Pant, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj, and Dhruv Jurel, were seen playing a spirited game of foot-volley at their team hotel after consistent rain delayed Day 2 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur. The match had already faced disruptions on Day 1, which ended early due to insufficient natural light, and the bad weather persisted into Day 2, forcing an extended break.
With the rain continuing to halt play, the Indian team returned to their hotel. To stay physically active, Pant and Ashwin engaged in a lively foot-volley game, teaming up with Siraj and Jurel. Former cricketer and current commentator, Dinesh Karthik shared a glimpse of Ashwin and Jurel taking on Pant and Siraj, marking a lighter moment during the weather-induced downtime.
IND vs BAN 2nd Test, Day 2: Live Updates
Only 35 overs were possible on Day 1 before rain washed out play after the lunch break, resulting in an early stumps call. The outlook didn’t improve on Day 2, as the start was delayed with heavy rain covering the entire ground. Both teams were confined to their dressing rooms, with broadcasters confirming that the first session of the day was completely washed out. As the rain showed no signs of letting up, the Indian squad headed back to the comfort of their hotel, leaving fans wondering if play would resume later in the day.
While rain has been the villain of the Kanpur Test so far, forecasts suggest some improvement in the coming days. Accuweather predicts a chance of early showers on Sunday, but conditions are expected to brighten up by Monday and Tuesday, offering hope for more action in the latter stages of the match.
