How do you feel about India’s performance in the opening Test against England at Headingley?
Jaiswal, Gill Shine as India Dominate Day 1 vs. England in Headingley Test
India started the first Test against England with a dominant performance at Headingley, Leeds. Young captain Shubman Gill led from the front, scoring a composed century in his debut as Test skipper, while Yashasvi Jaiswal battled through injury to notch an impressive hundred of his own. India ended Day 1 at 305/3, marking a strong statement with three debutants in the lineup—Sudharsan, Jurel, and Arshdeep Singh. Both teams wore black armbands to honor victims of the Ahmedabad air tragedy. This match also marks the opening fixture of the new World Test Championship cycle, and with rain threats looming, both sides are racing the weather and each other in a high-stakes clash.
