India and England meet in Rajkot in the series deciding Test. At the end of the first day, the hosts are in the driver’s seat of this Test. Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja scored 5 wickets at the end of the day to score 326 runs.
In the Rajkot Test, the two debutant cricketers, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Chand Jurel, were all in the spotlight. Jurel has yet to get a chance to prove himself, but Sarfraz has repaid the trust. Sarfraz Khan is the son of former Indian cricketer Naushad Khan. After scoring a flood of runs in domestic cricket, he finally made his debut in the elite version of cricket. On the day of his son’s achievement, Naushad was present on the field. When Anil Kumble put him in the Test cap, father Naushad’s eyes were filled with tears of joy. All the lights in Rajkot were around Sarfraz Khan. Unfortunately, after a great start, he had to be cut down in a run-out. He played an innings of 62 runs in 66 balls with 9 fours and 1 six.
On this day, India fell on the back foot at the beginning of English pacer Mark Wood’s ball. After losing 3 wickets for 33 runs, Rohit and Ravindra led the team. The hosts overcame the disaster by standing on their pair of 204 runs. Skipper Rohit notched up his 11th career century. He became Wood’s third victim. After that, Jadeja made a partnership of 77 runs with the anointed Sarfraz. Sarfraz was run out for 62 runs, but India passed the day without interruption for the rest of the time. Ravindra 110 and Kuldeep Yadav remain unbeaten on 1 run.
English pacer Mark Wood hunted three wickets for 69 runs. Tom Hartley took a wicket.
