1st Test: KL Rahul hits century as India grab upper hand on Day 1

It was Virat Kohli’s brave call to bat first that saw India dominate Day 1, putting up 272/3 at stumps to set the platform for a big first-innings score. Not always pretty or completely flawless, Rahul’s innings was, instead, quietly assertive and wisely restrained. It carried the resolute approach, decisive footwork, patience and intelligence at the crease of another Rahul, the new coach Dravid. It was just the sort of fighting knock India needed to make an early statement in the series.
