India’s Record Run: Fastest 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 in Test Cricket

India has rewritten the record books by registering the fastest 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 runs in the history of Test cricket. This historic feat was achieved on Day 4 of the second Test against Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium.

When the last reports came in, Bangladesh was on the verge of losing all wickets just after lunch. The score was 126/8, which is just 74 runs for India to win on day 5.

A Record-Breaking Start

The Indian innings began with a bang as openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma launched an all-out assault on the Bangladeshi bowlers. The duo set the tone from the very first over, with Jaiswal hitting three consecutive fours off Hasan Mahmud. Rohit Sharma followed suit, smashing two sixes and a boundary in the next over, propelling India to a rapid 50 runs in just three overs.

Unstoppable Momentum

The momentum continued unabated as India reached 100 runs in just 10.1 overs, the fastest number of overs faced in Test cricket history. Jaiswal and Sharma’s aggressive approach saw them dismantle the Bangladeshi bowling attack with ease, setting the stage for a series of record-breaking milestones.

Historic Milestones

India’s relentless batting saw them score 150, 200, and 250 runs at unprecedented speeds. The team reached 150 runs in just 20.3 overs, 200 runs in 30.5 overs, and 250 runs in 40.2 overs. This remarkable achievement not only showcased the Indian team’s batting prowess but also highlighted their intent to dominate the game despite losing two days to rain.
