Jaiswal ton, Sudharsan shine as India reach 220/1 at tea

New Delhi, Oct 10 (UNI) At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where the afternoon sun often casts a golden hue on ambition, Yashasvi Jaiswal (111*) painted another masterpiece. His seventh Test century was not just a number on a scorecard — it was a reaffirmation of a young man’s poise, patience, and purpose. And beside him, B Sai Sudharsan (71*), elegant and unflustered, played the perfect second note in this symphony of serenity as India reached 220 for 1 at tea on Day 1.
From the very first session, Jaiswal batted like a craftsman who knew exactly where every brushstroke belonged. He began quietly, almost meditative in defence, before unfurling a flurry of boundaries that spoke of timing, not violence. When he brought up his fifty — three crisp fours in four balls off Jayden Seales — it was the sound of a man finding his rhythm.
Then came the crescendo. On 98, Khary Pierre drifted one on middle and leg, and Jaiswal, as if guided by instinct, rolled his wrists, gliding the ball to backward square leg. Two runs later, the helmet came off, the bat rose high, and the spectators responded with the roar of admiration reserved for the chosen few. His seventh century — and yet, it felt as fresh as his first.
