Indian Police Deports 'Tiger Rabi' Back to Bangladesh
Rabiul Islam, known as "Tiger Rabi," is being deported to Bangladesh by Indian authorities for allegedly violating regulations. Before leaving Kanpur, Rabi stated that he would spend a day under police custody in Delhi and return to Bangladesh on Sunday. He plans to speak to the media after his return, sharing details about what happened to him over the past two days.
Though discharged from the hospital on Friday night, Rabi remained under the surveillance of Kanpur police in Uttar Pradesh. He was kept under security at a hotel and was instructed to pack his bags early in the morning.
Rabi had traveled to India on a medical visa to support the Bangladesh cricket team. He was helped by mobile banking company Nagad, which sponsored his trip. After the first Test, he traveled from Chennai to Kanpur on September 24. During the second Test, Rabi was seen cheering the players from a gallery near the press box, waving the national flag. Rabi claims that he had come down from the open gallery to take shelter from the rain when he was physically assaulted from behind by unknown individuals.
However, Kanpur police stated that their investigation did not confirm Rabi's allegation of being assaulted by spectators. They also mentioned that a medical examination found no signs of physical injury. On Friday, Abhishek Pandey, ACP of Kanpur's Kalyanpur area, told reporters, "He (Rabi) collapsed due to dehydration and was taken to the hospital with the help of police and healthcare workers. The allegation of assault is entirely false; no spectator attacked him."
When asked why Rabi was being deported, police officials declined to comment officially. However, an officer speaking on the condition of anonymity suggested that it might be for security reasons.
Kanpur police also made serious allegations against Rabi, claiming that he is suffering from contagious tuberculosis and was supposed to receive treatment in Kolkata. Furthermore, the BCCI accused him of entering the gallery illegally with a sponsor's logo. These reasons have led the Indian government to deport the Bangladeshi supporter promptly.

Asif Mahmud Addresses Shakib's Security Concerns
Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan, Youth and Sports Adviser of the Interim Government spoke about Shakib's security issue. He said, "Security for cricketer Shakib assured, but not for MP Shakib."
"We need to remember that Shakib Al Hasan carries two identities. He is a cricketer, and we will provide him with the necessary security as a player. On the other hand, he is also a politician, having served with the Awami League. Public sentiment varies depending on these two identities. As a cricketer, we will provide him with the security he needs," he added.
During a cheque handover ceremony today, 29 September, for Grameenphone dividends to the Workers Welfare Fund, Asif Mahmud said this to reporters.
Shakib Al Hasan suddenly announced his retirement from T20 and Test cricket before taking the field against India in Kanpur. The all-rounder wants to say goodbye to red-ball cricket after playing the first Test against South Africa in Mirpur next month. But there are fears about Shakib's return to the country.
So Shakib has sought security from BCB and the government. Shakib said that if there is a chance, he wants to play the last Test of his career on the soil of the country. He also gave some conditions to BCB for that.
Shakib asked for the assurance of his safety in the country and not to face any complications while leaving the country. But the matter of his safety is not only in the hands of BCB, Board President Faruque Ahmed said.
After the board meeting on Thursday (September 26) night, Faruque Ahmed told reporters, "I am not an agency, police or RAB. It (security) is not actually in my hands or BCB's hands. It has to come from the government level."
It should be noted that after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government, Shakib Al Hasan lost his position as an MP. A case of murder has been filed against him. Shakib was fined Tk50,00000 after being accused of stock market manipulation. Meanwhile, he decided to retire from T20 and Test cricket.
ICC Test Championship: Bangladesh Moves Up from Sixth to Fifth
Due to torrential rain, the third day of the Kanpur Test was abandoned. While there was no good news about getting on the field, the Bangladesh team found something to celebrate elsewhere. Before the result of the second Test against India was determined, Najmul Hossain Shanto and his team received some good news from the ICC.
Bangladesh has moved up from sixth to fifth in the Test Championship rankings.
Bangladesh can thank Sri Lanka for this progress. It's thanks to the performances of Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya de Silva that this improvement occurred. Sri Lanka swept New Zealand 2-0 in a home Test series. As a result, Bangladesh has reaped the benefits.
In the 2023-25 cycle of the Test Championship, Bangladesh has secured fifth place with a winning percentage of 39.29%. Out of seven Tests, Bangladesh has won three, while they have tasted defeat in the remaining four. This opportunity for improvement came as New Zealand dropped in the rankings.
Yesterday, after losing to Sri Lanka by an innings and 154 runs, New Zealand dropped from fourth to seventh. Their winning percentage is now 37.60%.
Although Sri Lanka did not improve in ranking, Dhananjaya and Mathews have solidified their hold on third place. With a winning percentage of 55.56%, they are right behind the top two teams, India and Australia. India leads with a 71.67% win rate, followed by Australia at 62.50%.
Kanpur Test / Mominul Scores 100, Bangladesh 205/6 at Lunch
Bangladesh finished at 205/6 at lunch on the 4th day of the 2nd Test against India at the Green Park Stadium today.
There was cricket at last as the sun emerged out with a clear outfield for the action to resume after two-and-a-half days. Bangladesh's Mominul Haque scored a hundred as India managed to nab three wickets at the other end.
Earlier, Mushfiqur Rahim (11) was the first batter to depart, leaving a Jasprit Bumrah delivery that crashed onto his stumps.
Bangladesh lost their second wicket of the day as Liton Das departed courtesy of a brilliant one-handed catch from Rohit Sharma.
Liton charged down the wicket against pacer Mohammad Siraj and tried to smash the ball over the in-field. But Rohit, who was at mid-wicket, got his right hand up in a flash and the ball went straight into his hand.
Liton departed for 13 and his dismissal has brought Shakib Al Hasan to the middle, who joins a well-set Mominul Haque batting on 62.
Earlier on Day 1, Indian captain Rohit Sharma had invited Bangladesh to bat first after winning the toss. Seamer Akash Deep struck twice in the first session, removing Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam. Ravichandran Ashwin then clinched the wicket of Najmul Hossain Shanto as Bangladesh remained at 107/3 before the Stumps were called after just 35 overs of play on Day 1.
Bangladesh trail 1-0 in the two-match series after losing the first Test to the hosts in Chennai by a dominant margin of 280 runs. The visitors had arrived in India on the back of a 2-0 whitewashing of Pakistan away from home.

Bangladesh vs India / India Smash Fastest Team 50 in Test History
History was scripted on Day 4 of the second Test between Bangladesh and India at the Green Park stadium in Kanpur as team India smashed the fastest team fifty in the history of Test cricket.
They got to the landmark in just 3 overs, thereby creating a new record. The previous best was by England, who, earlier this year in Nottingham smashed 50 in 4.2 overs against West Indies.
The onslaught was started by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who hit a hat-trick of boundaries in the very first over bowled by Hasan Mahmud.
But the real damage was done by Rohit Sharma, who smashed sixes in each of his first two balls. India raced to 29/0 at the end of 2 overs.
Another Rohit six and a no-ball from Mahmud took the team to 36/0 in 2.3 overs. This was when Jaiswal went 6, 4, 4 against the right-arm seamer to help the team create history and post the fastest team fifty in Tests.
At 23 off 7 balls, Rohit looked like he was on course to post the fastest fifty in Test history, but was dismissed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz for 23 off 11 balls. The off-spinner bowled an absolute peach to go through the gate of the Indian skipper.
Kanpur Test / India Whitewash Bangladesh With A Stunning Win
Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja picked up wickets in a cluster on Day 5 to enforce a remarkable Indian victory over Bangladesh to seal the two-match series 2-0 at Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium.
Bangladesh resumed the fifth day’s play at 26-2 to find themselves another 26 runs behind India. Overnight batter and first-innings centurion Mominul Haque became the first man to depart in the day courtesy of some sharp leg-slip fielding from KL Rahul off Ravichandran Ashwin, who picked up his third wicket of the innings.
While captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (19) and opener Shadman Islam (50 off 101) steered Bangladesh past the opening hour without further casualty, Ravindra Jadeja tilted the tide back in India’s favor with a match-defining three-wicket burst. The Indian all-rounder dismissed Shanto and dangermen Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan in the space of just three overs as the visitors slipped to 94-7.
Akash Deep, meanwhile, snagged half-centurion Shadman Islam during his brief spell before Jasprit Bumrah mopped up the Bangladeshi tail to bag figures of 3-17 from 10 overs. Their collective brilliance enveloped Bangladesh’s second innings for 146 in an extended 36-over opening session to set India a 95-run target to seal the series 2-0.
In the pursuit of a quick victory, Indian captain Rohit Sharma attacked and perished at the top as he was caught out by Hasan Mahmud at long leg off Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Following Sharma’s dismissal in the third over of the chase for just eight, his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his onslaught and smashed his seventh fifty in Test cricket. Bangladesh did manage to get the wicket of Jaiswal and Gill, but India was never put under pressure and clinched the game by seven wickets.
