Former Australia captain Brad Haddin hailed Indian skipper Rohit Sharma for pulling a win out of the almost unwinnable match against Bangladesh in Kanpur. He also backed Team India to deliver similar performances during the "Border-Gavaskar Trophy."

In the Kanpur Test, Team India missed two days of action due to rain and a wet outfield after Bangladesh ended the first day at 107/3 in the first innings. When Bangladesh started day four with the same score, the match looked heading towards a draw with two days left and only the first innings being played. But Bangladesh was first skittled out for 233 and then India got some quickfire runs, posting 285/9 and taking two Bangladesh wickets at the end of day four. On the next day, India bundled out Bangladesh for 146 and were leading by 94 runs. They got a target of 95 runs and chased it down easily.
