In the ongoing match between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, India's rising star Akash Deep hogged the internet with the bat after he smashed two big sixes off Virat Kohli's bat. 

After rain spoiled two days of cricket, the action resumed on Monday. The Indian bowlers put on a great show and restricted Bangladesh to just 233 runs. With that effort, the Indian team pushed for a win, and the message was clear in the dressing room to go all guns blazing right from the first ball.

Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal Off To A Flying Start

Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal did just what the doctor ordered and got off to a flying start. The duo stitched up a fifty-run stand in just three overs, which is the fastest in the history of Test cricket.

In an attempt to go aggressive, the Rohit Sharma-led side lost wickets at regular intervals. Eventually, India put 285 runs on the board and declared their innings with a lead of 52 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul stitched fifty-plus scores. Meanwhile, Akash Deep shone the limelight as he hit two sixes off Virat Kohli's bat.

When he came to bat, he tried a big hit on the first ball but missed it. However, he dispatched two consecutive sixes off Shakib Al Hasan on the 5th and 6th balls of the 34th over. The fans were elated over Deep's power hitting as they were amused to see him strike the ball with Virat's bat. Even Virat Kohli, who was in the dugout, had a smile on his face as he watched Akash take on Shakib Al Hasan.
