Jaiswal's Century and Gill's Grace Power India Against England

Yashasvi Jaiswal's century and Shubman Gill's half-century steered India to a commanding 215 for two against a lackluster England on the first day of the Test series. Jaiswal's calculated innings contrasted with Gill's fluid style as the pair established a formidable partnership.

Displaying admirable restraint and technique, Jaiswal reached his 5th Test century with precise strokes, while Gill remained unbeaten with 58, executing shots with elegance. Their composed batting capitalized on England's wayward bowling, providing ample scoring chances.

Openers KL Rahul and Jaiswal set the tone early, countering England's initial attack with precision. Despite KL Rahul's dismissal, the day's positive trajectory remained unshaken, leaving India in a strong position as the series progresses.
