India absolutely dominated day one of the Leeds Test against England, largely thanks to a stunning performance from Rishabh Pant. His unbeaten 65, peppered with record-breaking sixes, propelled India to a commanding position.
Pant’s explosive innings saw him surpass Rohit Sharma for the most sixes scored by an Indian player in the World Test Championship. This remarkable achievement adds another feather to his already impressive cap.
But Pant wasn’t the only one shining for India. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s masterful century and Shubman Gill’s impressive ton on his captaincy debut solidified India’s dominance. The combined efforts of these three batsmen set the stage for what could be a resounding Indian victory.
This incredible display of batting prowess leaves England facing a steep uphill battle to salvage the match. With such a strong foundation laid by India on day one, the upcoming days promise to be nothing short of thrilling.
