1st Test: Jaiswal’s Hundred, Gill’s Fifty Propel India To A Commanding 215/2 At Tea
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal: Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed his first Test century on English soil, while Shubman Gill hit his first fifty as the Test captain and number four batter as the duo’s unbroken 123-run partnership for the third wicket propelled India to a commanding 215/2 in 51 overs at tea on Day One of the first Test of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at Headingley on Friday.
On the other hand, Gill showed his best-attacking version to bring up his half-century off just 56 balls, his fastest in Tests, and be unbeaten on 58 off 74 balls, as India didn’t lose a single wicket in what was a session totally going in their favour.
Jaiswal’s unbeaten knock has been a masterclass in dominating off-side strokeplay – cutting and driving off England’s fast bowlers with absolute ease. Right from the first ball of the session when Gill confidently left an outswinger from England captain Ben Stokes, one got a feeling that India would totally be a dominant force in the session.
