India’s young guns are firing on all cylinders in Leeds, with Shubman Gill leading the charge in his debut as captain. Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a century in his very first Test innings in England, while Gill notched his first overseas Test hundred—both milestones adding to the team’s dominant start. By stumps on Day 1, India had piled up 359/3, putting them in prime position to challenge their own record for the highest Test total in England. Fans are buzzing with nostalgia, drawing parallels to India’s famous 2002 Leeds victory.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another strong start—it’s a statement. India’s young stars stepping up in tough overseas conditions signals a bright future for the team, especially with Gill taking the reins. If they break records here, it could set the tone for the rest of the series and cement this squad’s reputation as one of India’s most exciting Test lineups in years. For cricket lovers, it’s a thrilling glimpse of the next generation taking center stage.
