India are up against Bangladesh in the 2nd IND vs BAN Test at the Green Park Stadium and the match appears to be heading towards a draw as there has only been 35 overs of play possible in three days of the Test, owing to continuous rain and wet outfield. Interestingly, Day 3 of the IND vs BAN Kanpur Test got washed off at 2 PM IST on September 29 (Sunday) despite there being no rain at the venue at all in the day, leaving fans enraged.

For the second consecutive day, the day’s play got called off without a ball being bowled on Sunday. However, unlike Day 2, where the continuous rain made it impossible for the play to begin, there was no rain on Sunday and the play was called off because of the wet outfield at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. This sparked wide social media outrage as users slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and questioned the efficacy of the drainage system in place at the venue.
