SESSION SUMMARY – 30 Overs, 129 Runs, 0 Wickets. As the umpires signal the conclusion of the First Session on Day 2, the scene is set for an enthralling day of Test cricket, with India firmly in control of proceedings. Riding high on a wave of dominance, India has asserted their authority without losing a wicket in the session, amassing a formidable total of 264 runs for the loss of just one wicket, seizing a commanding lead of 46 runs. Spearheading the Indian charge are the dynamic duo of Rohit Sharma, the indomitable Indian skipper, and the talented Shubman Gill. Sharma, continuing his imperious form, etched his name into the annals of cricketing history with yet another century, his blade a symphony of elegance and power as he remains unbeaten on 102. Gill, equally resplendent, showcased his prodigious talent with a scintillating century of his own, his strokeplay a testament to his burgeoning prowess at the crease, with the duo stitching together a formidable partnership of 160 runs.
