  • Shubman Gill has joined Rahul at the crease, providing stability after an early setback.
  • Sai Sudharsan, on Test debut at his home ground, fell cheaply — a disappointing start despite his familiarity with conditions.
  • The opening stand between Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal yielded 68 runs, giving India early momentum.
  • India’s batting approach has been cautious, prioritizing wickets over quick runs against a disciplined pace attack spearheaded by Jayden Seales.
