Stumps, Day 2: 172/0 (2nd Innings)

What an innings by kl Rahul in both innings He moled himself like rahane best in overseas compared to home test he should not drop from 2nd test no matter Rohit comes or not.

Jaiswal just awesome zero pressure felt inspite of 1st innings duck currently in 90's

Loved the way jaiswal batted.. His intent reminded me of Hayden, at his prime.

Though KL is not at his very best. He realised the fact that he needs to spend some time at the crease and nicely complimented Jaiswal at the other end. If he can manage to stay calm and look over session 1, tomorrow. He will be a beast for the rest of the series for sure.

Now Rohit should increase his paternity leave and Bumrah should be made the captain

I feel the same. Watching this series for same along with to see Harshit Rana, Nitish Reddy, Washington Sunder and Prasidh Krishna.


Don't have much hopes from Gill and Kohli. Pant will score one or two century.
