Team India: Unique record of 5 centuries from India
Team India: In the Leeds Test, India scored 3 centuries in the first innings and 2 centuries in the second innings. This is the first time in cricket history that the Indian team scored 5 centuries in a Test match. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant scored centuries in the first innings, while KL Rahul and Pant scored centuries in the second innings. Pant scoring centuries in both innings is a proof of his form and aggression.
This is the sixth occasion when a team has scored 5 centuries in a Test match. This is the second occasion on foreign soil (away Test). Earlier in 1955, Australia had scored 5 centuries in the Jamaica Test, which was the first time it happened on foreign soil. Now India has become the second team to achieve this feat abroad. This record shows the depth and talent of Indian batting.
KL Rahul’s brilliant performance
India’s opener KL Rahul showed his class by scoring a brilliant century in the second innings. This was his third century in England as an opener. Before him, Vijay Merchant, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid have scored 2-2 centuries as openers in England.
