WHAT DO U THINK WHO WILL WIN ?
Yes that's the ques of millions from India and England for the 1st test of the series, 1st innings of England scored 287 by the toil of Root and Bairstow and some handful runs from Jennings and Sam. India's 1st inning is full of drama as none of the batsmen scored more than 30 runs except the Indian captain Virat Kohli (149) who pushes the scoreline single handedly manages to make India's score to 274.
In the 2nd innings England was unable to stand at the pace of Ishant Sharma and turn of Ashwin ,and seven batsmen got out in 87 runs only but Sam(63) comes with a positive intent to score and manages to double the England's score and made them a lead of 193.
2nd inn of India is as same as the 1st one as none of the top 6 batsmen scored more than 13 except the one (Virat Kohli). India lost 5 wickets in just 78 runs but Karthik gave us some positive attitude as he was the highest run scorer for India way back in the 2007 series,hope he could get inspiration from himself. together they fought till the stumps at 3rd day and their partnership looks like 32 runs in 69 balls. though 3 innings are over but then also we cant say who will take the lead.
194 is no cakewalk in these conditions,surely not when you have an attack like England's. England need 5 more wickets, or may be even 1 wicket if that one happens to be Kohli's.
FACTS - Kohli in 2014: 288 balls across 10 innings
135 runs in 10 innings
Kohli in 2018: 289* balls within 1st test
149 in only 1 inning
Kohli became the 2nd Indian to score a hundred in his first test innings as captain.
Ashwin 7 wickets in 1st match is much more than his wickets in 2014 series.
