<h2>Jadeja’s comeback</h2>

Jadeja also contributed with the bat significantly by pulling off a crucial knock of unbeaten 37.</p>

<h2>Brilliant batting</h2>

<p>Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Rohit Sharma were also in brilliant touch in the first Test. Both the batters contributed heavily by scoring a century each. Rohit got out after scoring 103. Jaiswal, however, continued his assault and before the end of the second day's play, he shared a vital 72-run partnership with Virat Kohli. Jaiswal departed having produced a spectacular knock of 171. Debutant Jaiswal was awarded the Player of the Match award. “He has the talent, he has shown us in the past that he is ready. Came and batted sensibly. The temperament was also tested, at no stage he was panicking. The chats we had were to remind him that ‘you belong here. You have done the hard yards, enjoy your time here',” Rohit said while talking about Jaiswal at the post-match presentation.</p>
