In a thrilling display of cricketing prowess, India piled up a formidable first-innings total of 471 against England, thanks to sensational centuries from skipper Shubman Gill, vice-captain Rishabh Pant, and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, during their opening Test match.

The trio powered the innings, with Gill and Pant forging a significant 209-run partnership for the fourth wicket, bolstering the solid foundation laid by Jaiswal and KL Rahul's initial stand of 91 runs for the first wicket.
