India's KL Rahul is confident that the team can dismiss England on the final day's play of the first Test to take a 1-0 series lead. The match, which resumes on Tuesday, sees India setting a tricky target of 371 for victory.
England's openers, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, began the chase by erasing 21 runs by the end of day four. Rahul, in a press conference, expressed hope for picking up 10 wickets, stating, "Blockbuster finish waiting tomorrow."
Rahul and Rishabh Pant's 195-run partnership was pivotal. However, India later slumped from 333/5 to 364 all out. England pacer Josh Tongue noted that going for a chase was the team's strategy, eyeing a decisive result rather than a draw.
