India in the driver’s seat at the end of the first day at Headingle. Before the start of the series, many were worried whether Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma’s absence would be able to catch the attention of the Indian team at all. Although the next generation of Indian cricket has shown, the future of Team India is in strong hands. From the very beginning of the first day, England bowlers were destroyed by Yashwi Jaswal. Then Test captain Shubhman Gill also got his first century outside Asia.
When India is shining on the ground in England, the British world has set fire to captain Stokes’s decision. England won the toss on the first day of the first Test, but captain Stokes decided to bowl first. And that decision was virtually boomerang, Yashwi, Rahul, Gill, Pantra used wickets and batted well. And after seeing that, former England captain Michael Von took the same.
On the first day of the first Test in England, there was no possibility of rain. That is, the wicket was dry due to the sun, it is wise to bat first in such situations. Because the remaining four days of the test, there is a possibility of rain 2 days, or cloudy sky. Then the pacers will benefit. But Stokes did not put that strategy before the bowling decision to bowl the team to the team, Michael Van.
“I am biased to obey the old rules of Leeds,” said Michael Von. When the sun is intense, there is dry weather, it should be batted. I was surprised when he said he wanted to bowl first. No decision should be made to see what has happened in the past. The decision should be made based on the current situation. If you decide on what I have done in this field before, what happened today will be the same situation. ‘
At the end of the first day, India’s score is 5 for 5. Shubhman Gill is unbeaten on 120 runs after the century of Jesswas Jaswal. Also on the century, the captain Rishabh Pant is also heading. Tim Saudi, their bowling consultant, is hopeful of turning around despite the bad performance in England. He says, ‘This day is hard for us, but we will also have the opportunity to bat. We will come back tomorrow and try to show something good. Today, Joswal and Gill played two good innings. Pant is also a good batter. ‘
A statistics from England bowlers are also the cause of everyone’s annoyance. Of the 4 balls he played, only 5 balls were in the wicket, that is, all the other balls were out of the off stump. Chris Oaks did not get 5 wickets for 5 runs by bowling 5 overs. In the last 5 Tests, however, the batting team later won the Leads, whether India could break the record in this test now.
