India won the toss and opted to bat first at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh. Manav Suthar made his debut for the side in the whites. However, it has been a day of the leaders for the Men in Blue side at the Mullanpur Stadium. KL Rahul started off scoring his 12th hundred in the format.
KL Rahul, who scored his 3rd century on home soil, was unfortunate to be dismissed on the very next ball. He has been one of the finest batters for India across formats. The Karnataka batter explained his happiness after scoring the century and also emphasised on the switch from the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) to Test cricket in span of few days.
Really happy- KL Rahul happy after scoring hundred
"I had to make that switch of letting the ball go and getting used to the conditions. Training did help a lot. I did feel the urge to play few shots and I don't think it is a bad thing. It's something I have been telling myself as well. Sometimes you sit and over analyze. I try and not restrict my shots."
I think it will assist- KL Rahul on whether it will assist spinners
"No, I think it will assist a bit of good bowling. I think even the fast bowlers will be in the game because the cracks are opening up and the soil is not really hard. It's a loose kind of soil on top. So I think there will be a lot of uneven bounce going ahead in the game."
"So Washi (Washington Sundar) and Manav (Suthar), if they are bowling to right-handers and left-handers respectively, I think the rough will be in play and hopefully we can build that pressure and put the balls in the right areas and get some wickets early on and put pressure on them."
