1st Test: Tendulkar, Ganguly's Light Banter On Social Media Leaves Fans In Splits
With Rahul Dravid: Cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly engaged in light banter on social media as they were reminded of their dominant batting display in 2002 after India reached a commanding 359/3 on the opening day of the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Leeds on Friday.
With India playing under a new captain and without the assured presence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the batting line-up, the visitors rode on centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) and Shubman Gill (127 not out) and a fine unbeaten half-century by Rishabh Pant (65 not out) to make a strong start in the series.
Some fans reminded Tendulkar and Ganguly of India's superb batting at Headingley in 2002 when they shared a 249-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Tendulkar compiled a brilliant 303-ball 193 while Ganguly scored 128. With Rahul Dravid scoring 148, three Indian batters reached the three-figure mark while opener Sanjay Bangar contributed a fine 68.
