In a seismic shift in international cricket, Bangladesh has achieved its most significant Test victory by defeating Australia in Darwin. The win, described as the most profound upset in the sport's history, saw Bangladesh overcome overwhelming odds to secure a historic triumph. Australia's captain, Pat Cummins, admitted his team was "outplayed in all facets," acknowledging the effectiveness of Bangladesh's bowlers and their overall dominant performance.
Meanwhile, in another Test match, India's Devdutt Padikkal registered a career-best 167 against Sri Lanka in Galle. His maiden Test century, a testament to two years of dedicated work and clear strategies against spin, has been highlighted as a major personal achievement. Padikkal's performance, which saw him join an elite list of Indian batsmen, helped India post a strong total despite weather interruptions and the loss of key wickets. The match also saw scrutiny on India's wicket-keeping situation, with Dhruv Jurel's half-century putting pressure on Rishabh Pant.
