🏏 IND vs SL 1st Test : IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali🏏 - Page 19

Taran: "This has gone unnoticed, but Jadeja is continuing to be consistent and is on 45."

Muhammad: "I think that Rishabh Pant looks awesome in his defensive approach. We have seen that in every innings he has played in test cricket.The only matter is that it is overshadowed by his extravagent shot making ability and aggressive mindset." --- I think the approach that works best for him is to play like any other batter at the start and go for his shots only after he has his eye in.

Rishabh Pant unleashed all his might in the final session and despite India losing the wicket of Shreyas Iyer, Pant made sure that all the pressure was on the Lankans for the most part of the final session. He took Lasith Embuldeniya and Dhananjaya de Silva to the cleaners and that forced the Lankan skipper to bring his pacers back. However, the new ball brought some respite for the Lankans as Pant missed out on a well-deserved century. The pair of Jadeja and Ashwin made sure that there are no more setbacks and with Jayant Yadav to follow, India will be looking to cross 400 on Day 2. However, India would have been in a much better situation if one of their batters would have carried on after getting the desired starts as the pitch seems quite good to bat on

This is only the first day of the Test match but it is quite evident that Sri Lanka have made a mistake by going with just one frontline spinner. The injury to Kumara have made things worse for them, however, they have still managed to pick six wickets and have not let the game drift away completely for them. Lasith Embuldeniya was the pick of the bowlers as he bowled with great accuracy and clever change of pace but Pant was brutal towards him in the final session. It is still a decent day for Sri Lanka and if they can pick four Indian wickets quickly on Day 2, we have an interesting Day 2 ahead of us. The pitch though is perfect for Test cricket with help for both seamers and spinners and there is value for shots as well for the batters as Pant displayed with his fireworks in the final session.

what rishabh missed out his 100 😔

i feel bad when someone get out between 45-49 or nervous 90s

any of u happen to follow womens’ world cup?! today was the first match! couldnt watch it due to work but saw the score. first match was wi vs nz. nz needed just 6 off 6 with 3 wickets in hand but they ended up losing by just 3 runs 😲

With Jadeja and Aswin at the crease, the score will be certain to cross 450, which we can confidently say is a good score.

The batting abilities of our middle order and tailenders will be on display tomorrow. If they decide, we may reach 500 also. 😃

Hanuma Vihari is down for a chat. He says that he felt good going out in the middle, he enjoyed his time and he feels good to grab this opportunity of batting at number 3. Mentions that if the team requires him to bat at a different position he will be happy to do it, but his preferred position is to bat at number 3. States that initially, the ball was coming on nicely to the bat, but once the ball got older, it got tougher, but Rishabh is a different player altogether as he made it look easy. Informs that Pant's innings was special and helped them get to 350 on Day 1.
