The second Test match between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur was severely impacted by inclement weather on Day 2. Persistent rain throughout the day rendered the outfield unplayable, forcing the umpires to call off the day's proceedings without a single ball being bowled.

Day 1 Recap
On the opening day, India had made a strong start after winning the toss and electing to field first. Pacer Akash Deep struck early, dismissing two Bangladesh batsmen to give India an early advantage. A brisk partnership between Mominul Haque and Najmul Hossain Shanto was then broken by veteran R. Ashwin, leaving Bangladesh at 107/3 at the close of play.
Rain Disrupts Day 2
Despite a brief lull in the rain around noon, the outfield remained wet, making it impossible for the players to take the field. The continuous drizzle throughout the day ensured that no play was possible, much to the disappointment of fans and players alike.
India's Strong Position
With three days remaining in the match, India is in a strong position to force a result. Their bowlers have already made inroads into the Bangladesh batting lineup, and they will be eager to capitalize on any opportunities that come their way.
Impact on the Series
The washout on Day 2 has implications for the series. With only three days remaining, India will need to bowl Bangladesh out quickly to have a chance of winning the match. A draw or a Bangladesh victory would give them a chance to level the series.
