After waiting for several days, when the Test series between India and England started in the leads, it was probably the opposite of everyone’s expectation. The new captain Shubman Gill, under the leadership, pushed the host England on the backfoot on the first day and his strong batting became the reason for it. On the very first day, captain Gill and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a brilliant century. But in this too, Jaiswal’s century has approved the victory of Team India. At least this is what history says.
The Test series between India and England started in Handingley from 20 June. On the first day of the match, Team India had to land for batting. But the freshness of the new and less experienced team also got the weather and good sunlight prepared the batting -friendly conditions. But if England is there, then despite the circumstances there has to prove themselves and the Indian batsmen did the same. Apart from the centuries of Gill and Jaiswal, Team India scored 359 runs for 3 wickets on the first day on the basis of Rishabh Pant’s half -century.
Jayaswal’s century wins!
Youth opener Jaiswal took the first front from Team India. He first shared a 91 -run partnership with his fellow opener KL Rahul and then added 129 runs with captain Gill. During this, Jaiswal scored the fifth of his Test career and the third century against England. This century is not special simply because in his first Test in England, Jaiswal scored this, but also because in a way, it raised hopes of Team India’s victory on the first day. If it is said, it was stamped.
Actually, Jaiswal has won all the centuries in his Test career so far, Team India has won. Jaiswal scored a century in the debut test against the West Indies and Team India won that match. After this, Gill scored 2 double centuries in the Test series played against England in India last year and both of these matches also won Team India. Then in the second innings of the Perth Test on the tour of Australia last year, Gill also scored a century and there was also Team India there.
Shubman’s century is also guaranteed success
Now Jaiswal has scored a century in this test and it is expected that the process of success will continue. By the way, not only Jaiswal, but the centuries of captain Gill also bring success for Team India. Before this Test, Shubman Gill had scored 5 centuries in Test cricket, out of which Team India won, while there was a Test draw. That is, the old history is indicating that the defeat of Team India has been postponed on the first day due to the centuries of Jaiswal and Gill.
