“Great start for Team India to this year's red-ball season! Absolutely loved watching @ashwinravi99's calculated knock in the first innings and his match-winning spell in the second. @ShubmanGill and @imjadeja were brilliant with the bat and special thanks to @RishabhPant17 for making a great comeback to Test cricket and our pacer @Jaspritbumrah93 for crossing 400 international wickets! On to the second Test, where we look to seal the series,” Shah posted on X. The Test marked Rishabh Pant's return to Test cricket for the first time since December 2022.
The wicketkeeper-batsman hit his sixth Test hundred and equalled the record for most hundreds by an Indian wicketkeeper in Test history. “Clinical and professional performance by India. Exactly what you would expect from them. Lots of positives to take from this Test. Runs and wickets were there but what stood out for me was the fielding, especially the catching. Well played,” wrote a post by former India opener Wasim Jaffer on X. The second Test will be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27.
