At the end of the first day of the Test being played at Old Trafford with England, the Indian team scored 264 runs at the loss of 4 wickets. Both Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur are at the crease after scoring 19-19 runs.
England won the toss and decided to bowl first. Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul gave a strong start to the Indian team by sharing 94 runs for the first wicket, but both failed to play big innings. Rahul was dismissed for 46 and Jaiswal for 58 runs.
Sai Sudarshan, who was included in the playing XI in place of Karun Nair, also had a chance to play a big innings but was dismissed for 61 runs. Captain Shubman Gill was dismissed for 12 runs.
Before the Test match, there was a question about Rishabh Pant’s injury. Pant was included in the playing XI. He came to bat and was also playing well. However, Pant, who was playing 37 runs off 48 balls, had to go out of the field due to an injury to the right leg.
Both Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur are unbeaten on 19-19 runs at the crease. There has been a partnership of 29 runs between the two. When the game starts on the second day, both of them will be monitored.
Ravindra Jadeja has been fantastic as a batsman in this series. He had almost won India in Lord’s Test on his own. When the game of the second day starts, Team India Management will expect a big innings from them. Shardul can also bat. At the same time, Washington Sundar also has the ability to play big innings.
How much will India’s score be in the first innings, it will depend on the performance of these three players on the second day. For England, captain Ben Stokes took 2, Liam Dawson and Chris Woakes took 1-1 wickets.
