Yashasvi Jaiswal and Captain Shubman Gill are both centuries for India the first day of their test tour in England.
Centuries of the opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Captain Shubman Gill, his first skipper, dismissed India in a dominant position in their first series of series against England, the closing of the first test on an imposing 359-3.
Despite the clear and wet Headingley conditions in favor of the strikers, England chose to bowl on Friday, knowing that each of the six previous leeds tests had been won by the lateral bowling in first.
Ben Stokes’ decision seemed poorly informed, the openers of India Kl Rahul and Jaiswal looking at the two of them, but Rahul fell for 42 years, the captain of England quickly removing the beginner Sai Sudharsan for a duck of the final ball before lunch.
However, Jaiswal and Gill ruled the ship during the afternoon session. The opener stormed his fifth century of testing, with Gill’s Classy Ton, an undefeated 127, putting England on the back since the five game series.
“It was very special, it meant a lot for me,” Jaiswal told the official radio broadcaster of the series, the BBC. “I really enjoyed it because I worked so much before the series, after the IPL.
“I just wanted to enter and do something for my team, for my country and for me after work, I said it. I loved it. There is no secret. I just try to work very hard and to have the will and the desire to do well every time I have the opportunity. I will continue to try to put my team first. ”
The pressure was on Gill on his test arc as a captain, a nation expecting a smooth transition after pillars of the Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma pillars.
The most captain of India at 25 was found in the shooting line in the blink of an eye, after England initially worked during a day of unusually wet leeds.
Many of the front -line rhythm quisors through an injury, he was left in Brydon Carse, doing his first test test on the floor at home, to do the crucial breakthrough just when Rahul settled before the Sudharsan beginner quickly followed him to the pavilion.
Supported by Jaiswal, who sailed to his sixth half-century in 10 rounds against England, Gill showed his class with his fastest test 50.
Jaiswal, despite the treatment for an injury in hand throughout the afternoon session, quickly resumed the skipper projectors heading towards its fifth century from only 20 games, and its third against England, to stack the misery on the besieged quisters of the hosts.
After Stokes struck the cleaning of Bowl Jaiswal, which left for 101, ending the third counter stand of 129, Gill and Rishabh Pant continued to keep the dashboard on the move, with a journey through the covers taking the skipper to his first century of testing outside Asia.
Pant ended a memorable day for India by reaching his half-century with a bizarre shot, leaving England with a mountain to climb to avoid spending his summer.
“It was a difficult day, but we will have the opportunity to beat soon,” said England coach Tim Southee. “We will come back tomorrow and try to make breakthroughs.
“The guys are good. The strength on this side is that things can sometimes be difficult, but they try not to be too taken in the emotions of the bad days.”
