If India Gets To 550 Or 600, The Game Could Be Out Of Reach: Stuart Broad
Asked to bat first, openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave a strong start to the side and stitched a 91-run stand for the first wicket. KL Rahul departed after scoring 42 while Jaiswal went on to slam his maiden Test hundred in England. India captain Shubman Gill (127 not out) also slammed his first century and was involved in an ongoing 138-run fourth-wicket partnership with Rishabh Pant (67 not out) to take the side to 359/3 at stumps on Day 1.
"England would have been hoping to pick up five, maybe six wickets on the day - that would have made for a strong start. But the pitch played really well, and the way the Indian batters controlled the tempo was just outstanding. There was that wobble at lunch - two wickets just before the break - which would have given England a lot of hope, and maybe put some pressure on the Indian dressing room. But the way Jaiswal and captain Gill came out after lunch and settled things down in that middle session - when England were looking to strike - was just wonderful batting," JioHotstar expert Broad said.
