Team India does well after a brief hiccup
Meanwhile, Team India has finished the first innings with 186 runs on the board. Although the first over went India’s way, Ishan Kishan fell soon and hence, India came under pressure. The likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma did get a few boundaries, but the spinners kept the run flow in check.
After Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli got out, India came back under pressure. However, Pant and Iyer bailed India out with scores of 52 (28) and 33 (18) respectively. Hence, India could get a decent total on the board. The focus now shifts to the bowlers to defend the total.
