The first day was very good for India. Shubman Gill won the toss and his batsmen took full advantage of the excellent conditions for batting. The big question ahead of the Test match was whether they would be able to adapt quickly to the demands of red-ball cricket after a long and grueling T20 season, and the answer was a resounding ‘yes’. Barring Yashasvi Jaiswal, every batsman made important contributions. KL Rahul (100) and Gill (103 not out) took the team forward by scoring brilliant centuries, while Sai Sudarshan (81) and Rishabh Pant (50) played good half-centuries.

There were also some century partnerships, which left India in a strong position at the end of the day with 368 runs. Afghanistan worked hard in difficult circumstances. The weather was very hot and their bowlers, especially the fast bowlers, put in a tremendous effort in the first two sessions. However, he looked tired in the last session, perhaps that is why he decided not to take another new ball. This option will also be available tomorrow morning, when the bowlers will be fresher and the conditions will probably be more favourable.
