India 94/1 against WI at lunch in Delhi

New Delhi, Oct 10 (UNI) India have won the toss, elected to bat first, and what a statement they’ve made in the first session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. At lunch on Day 1, India are 94 for 1 in 28 overs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been the picture of composure, scoring 40 off 78 balls, while KL Rahul has combined elegance and aggression to make 38 off 54, including a thunderous six over long-on. Sai Sudharsan has chipped in with a lively 16, showing glimpses of promise at the other end.
From the very first over, the Indian openers looked determined to dominate. Jaiswal’s timing has been exquisite — drives through the covers, flicks off the pads, and precise late cuts, all executed with the poise of a seasoned campaigner.
