India’s seamers picked up all 19 wickets to fall in the innings and 46 runs victory over Bangladesh at Kolkata – the most by Indian pacers in a home Test. Read on to find out more…
When India won its first day-night Test match against Bangladesh at Kolkata in November 2019, there was a record for the fast bowlers to cherish.
Having picked all 19 Bangladesh wickets to fall in the game (Mahmudullah retired hurt in the second innings), it was the most by Indian pacers in a home Test. In fact, it was the first home Test win ever for India when spinners had gone without a wicket!
Ishant Sharma (left) picked up nine wickets, Umesh Yadav (second from left) had eight and Mohammed Shami (right) got the remaining two. Ishant picked a five-for in the first innings and Umesh managed the feat in the second innings, making them the first Indian fast bowling pair to pick up five-wicket hauls in different innings of a Test. Ishant’s nine and Umesh’s eight wickets is also the first time two Indian fast bowlers have picked eight or more wickets in the same Test.

December 14 is Energy Conservation Day. Find the different ways you can help conserve energy.
Since 1991, December 14 has been Energy Conservation Day. But what exactly is ‘energy conservation’.
Energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service. This can be done by reducing the amount of energy we use for a certain service or by using less of a service that needs a lot of energy (for example, walking instead of using a vehicle). Energy is often produced by coal, oil and natural gas, but these are being used up more than the Earth can produce and they can also leave behind more pollutants which are harmful for the planet. There are other ways to get energy through renewable energy such as wind, solar, water and so on.
Conserving energy is important because not only does it help the environment but it can also help with personal finances – in the long run, you could save money. You don’t even have to do anything grand and difficult to do your part in conserving energy. You could:
– Remember to turn the lights, fans or any electrical appliances off when they are not being used.
– Don’t leave the tap running when you are brushing your teeth, or be a bit more considerate when taking a bath and how much water you use.
– Try to use public transport as much as possible, and if it is a short distance, why not try to walk or ride a bicycle? Not only does that cut down on fuel,it also saves you money and it’ll be a good way to keep fit and healthy.
