KL Rahul, after India's wicketkeeper's Daredevil Act, Rishabh bends down to the pants with bribe pants after playing close to the Daredevil Act

With sunset casting shadow in Headingley, Rishabh pant Could only Rishabh Pant dare to do it. It was the last of day 1 in the first Test in Headingley, at one time when most batsmen used to play bunkers down and day. But not pants. Sitting very beautiful with India at 351/3, pants danced the track from a length to delivery Chris Woakes And it was sent cleanly on the feet of the deep square for six.

Vox was standing there in stunned entertainment. So was the captain of England Ben stokesWho could only smile in mistrust. But the best response occurred later, and not from the field. As Pant climbed the headingley steps to return unbeaten on 65, KL satisfiedStanding near the entrance of the dressing room, turned his hands and bowed to the left hand in a fake gesture of reverence. This was the praise and banquet of equal parts as the pants refused to curb their aggressive tendency, yet returned unbeaten at the end of the day.

Watch:

Six were not born of negligence, however. In his specific style, he picked up the moment and hit it clean. It capted a nearby day for India, which ended at 359/3 after being asked to bat first on a green top.

Earlier in the day, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill laid the foundation for India's dominance. Jaiswal became the first visiting batter to hit their young women tests in Australia and England for centuries, their fluent 101 showcasting strokeplays and before maturity she was eventually rejected. Gill, in his first test as captain, remained unbeaten on 127, a silver, composed the knock that doubled as a statement of leadership.

Pant's arrival in the final session shifted the tempo. From release, he exploded an energy when England expected control. His 91-ball 65, which had two sixes and seven fours, came with minimum disturbance and maximum intentions.

Rahul himself played an important knock on the top of the order; While he could not reach his half -century, he played a strong hand, scored 42 runs in 78 delivery, helping to sew the 91 -run partnership for the first wicket.

For India, the lonely blot on the major day came as a mistakeable beginning of Sai Reformson. KL was thrown at a deep end after Rahul's dismissal, the left -handed batsman looked temporary and dismissed for a duck, more undo more by the veins than skills. It was a rigorous initiation to test cricket, but with another upcoming innings, Sudarshan would aim to shake and prove that he is on a big stage.
