With India playing under a new captain and without the assured presence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the batting line-up, the visitors rode on centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) and Shubman Gill (127 not out) and a fine unbeaten half-century by Rishabh Pant (65 not out) to make a strong start in the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Some fans reminded Tendulkar and Ganguly of India's superb batting at Headingley in 2002 when they shared a 249-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Tendulkar compiled a brilliant 303-ball 193 while Ganguly scored 128. With Rahul Dravid scoring 148, three Indian batters reached the three-figure mark while opener Sanjay Bangar contributed a fine 68.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In response to a post on X, formerly Twitter, about their superb partnership and the three centuries in Leeds, Tendulkar responded with a fingers-crossed emoji.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ganguly then took things further with his reply to Tendulkar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Hi, Champ...this time it could be 4..on this good surface...Pant and maybe Karun..the surface on day 1 in 2002..was a bit different than this..,said Ganguly in his post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His response left the fans in splits with some of them opining that this kind of bonding is needed in the current team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
