India took a firm grip on the fifth and final Test match after dominating England on Day 1 at the HPCA Stadiumin Dharamsala on Thursday.
The fragility of England batters against high-quality spin was exposed once again before India showed them how to bat on a flat track by cruising to 135 for one at stumps on day one of the fifth and final Test in Dharamshala on Thursday. Opting to bat, England were all at sea against the mastery of left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav whose fourth five-wicket haul in Tests allowed India to bowl out the visitors for 218 in their first innings shortly after tea. Playing his 100th Test, R Ashwin cleaned up the tail with four wickets while Ravindra Jadeja took one. Contrary to expectations, all 10 wickets went to the spinners at the scenic HPCA Stadium and the last seven batsmen fell while adding only 43 runs.
India captain Rohit Sharma was in no mood to duck bouncers as he attended the press conference on the eve of the 5th Test against England in Dharamsala. Rohit, on being asked about the comment from England batter Ben Duckett about the visiting team taking credit for Yashasvi Jaiswal's attacking heroics, sent a firm 'Rishabh Pant reminder' to everyone. Hitting sixers in the media conference on Wednesday, Rohit had no hesitation in suggesting to the England team, especially Ben Duckett, that they have probably not seen Rishabh Pant bat, hence such a comment was made.

A hilarious video went viral on social media, showing a showing a goof-up by a fielder which gifted a boundary to the batting team. The video is from an unknown cricket match, where a batter played a shot towards the long-on, in search of a boundary. A fielder ran towards the ball, in order to stop it from going across the boundary line. In the process, he stepped on the ball and stopped it just outside the boundary rope.
