India felt some pressure in the beginning where Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed early but KL Rahul & K Nair helped India to reach 74 runs from that pressure but it was thought that Shubman Gill might give India something special in this match but Shubman Gill could not do well in this innings. However, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are both trying to build a big partnership and if India can build a big partnership in this case, then it can be said that they will be able to give a run lead in the first innings. So far, India have lost three wickets but have scored 143 runs, while India are currently trailing by 242 runs.
India is still not out of the danger zone. When KL Rahul and Karun Nair built the second wicket partnership, I thought that they maybe able to get India to a secure position. But when it mattered the most, Nair got out and then within a short interval India again lost the wicket of Shubhman Gill. Now Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are there, trying to stabilize the Indian innings. As of now, India may not be too much worried. They do have depth down the order, with Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar yet to come.
