Following India’s strong performance on the first day of the first Test against England at Headingley, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly engaged in a nostalgic exchange on social media. Tendulkar celebrated the centuries of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, drawing a parallel to the 2002 Headingley Test where Tendulkar, Ganguly, and Rahul Dravid all scored centuries. India won that match convincingly.
Ganguly responded humorously, suggesting that the current pitch might be more conducive to batting, potentially resulting in four Indian centurions. He playfully named Pant and Karun Nair as possible additions.
India captain Shubman Gill scored a century as the visitors reached 359/3 on day one of the first Test against England at Leeds. Gill and Rishabh Pant were unbeaten on 127 and 65, respectively. Jaiswal was dismissed after scoring a century. At lunch, India was at 92/2, with Gill and Jaiswal’s partnership being significant. The opening stand between Jaiswal and KL Rahul was 91 runs. England took two wickets in five balls. Sai Sudharsan’s debut ended early.
