Cricket Story - Second Test @ Chennai
Day-1 Play :- IND Vs ENG
Hello Friends, Team India won an all important toss in this match & opted to bat.
Not a ideal start as team lost Shubhman Gill for a duck in the very second over of the day & first over of Englishman- "Olly Stone". Then it was the responsibility of Cheteshwar Pujara & Rohit Sharma to steady the ship. Out hitman was scoring at a brisk pace but, there was a twist in the tale when rock solid Pujara edges & Ben Stokes graciously grabs one. The drama didn't stopped here, as skipper Virat Kohli was foxed by Moeen Ali & got out for a duck - first time by a spinner.
It seems that the ship is sinking, then arrived the two star players of the day, Ajinkya Rahane(67) & Rohit Sharma(161) & puts the team in a commanding position - 300/6 by the end of day's play.
It was the exemplary show of "Rohit Sharma" who decimated the opposition with his attacking stroke-play & true application in the middle. Not to forget the contribution of "Rahane" who equally batted with poise & composure. Thanks to the partnership.
In the last session of the day England bounced back,by picking up the crucial wickets of set batsman. Furthermore, it was refreshing to witness the flamboyance & creative stroke-play of Rishabh Pant (33*) at the end of day.
