1st Test: Rahul, Sai Sudharsan Fall On Stroke Of Lunch As India Reach 92/2
Sai Sudharsan: India were well on their way to outrightly win the first session’s play, but KL Rahul and B. Sai Sudharsan falling in six balls at the stroke of lunch meant the visitors’ reached 92/2 in 25.4 overs on Day One of the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at Headingley here on Friday.
For an hour and 54 minutes, India were running away with this session, all thanks to Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal sticking to the basics of batting well in England – being patient, leaving the balls well, and cashing on real loose deliveries, resulting in some superbly-middled drives, to share a brilliant 91-run opening stand.
But with Rahul and debutant Sudharsan falling softly for 42 and zero respectively, India squandered their well-earned advantage, allowing England to go into the lunch break with some happiness despite the hosts being made to toil hard for 90% of the time in the session. Though Jaiswal is unbeaten on 42 not out, he and new skipper Shubman Gill have a good resurrecting job to do.
