Al Jazeera
India bowled out Bangladesh for 146 and then raced to 98-3 in 17.2 overs in a match that lost over two days to rain.
India won a race against time to pull off a remarkable seven-wicket win over Bangladesh in the rain-hit second Test match.
Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed 51 as India, needing 95 for victory, reached 98-3 in just 104 balls in the second session on the final day at Kanpur.
A draw loomed large over the match after two and a half days were lost to bad weather with only 35 overs played in the first three days at the Green Park Stadium.
Jaiswal reached his second fifty of the match in 43 balls including eight fours and one six before falling to Taijul Islam, ending a 58-run stand with Virat Kohli.
Former captain Kohli hit 29 and was there at the end as Rishabh Pant hit the winning boundary.
