In this match, the Indian batsmen performed brilliantly and scored 310 runs at the loss of 5 wickets till the end of the first day’s play. On the first day, the bowlers of England tried to make a comeback, but the partnerships of Yashasvi Jaiswal and then captain Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja brought Team India to a strong position.
Shubman Gill scored a brilliant century, while Yashasvi scored a valuable 87 runs. However, there were some Indian batsmen whose performance was not as expected. Let’s know about the 3 Indian players who flopped on the first day.
KL Rahul, one of the most experienced batsmen of the Indian team, had high expectations in this match. However, he could not live up to these expectations. He was seen battling from the beginning, and after facing 26 balls, he returned to the pavilion after scoring just 2 runs.
Karun Nair has got a chance to return to this Test series after a long gap. In the first Test, he went to bat at number six, but was sent to number three in this match. Despite a good start, he could not pull his innings long and was dismissed by 31 runs.
The third name in this list is Nitish Kumar Reddy. He got a chance in this match but could not take advantage of it. Nitish, who came to bat at number six, fell victim to the ball coming inside Chris Woakes and was dismissed by 1 run in just 6 balls.
