Rahul and Jaiswal's Solid Start in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy
In a cricket match, the opening batsmen for India, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, played very well.
They carefully built a strong start for their team, much like building the base of a building.
Jaiswal learned from a past mistake and played cautiously, scoring a good number of runs.
Together, they stayed in the game until lunch without losing a wicket, a rare feat for visiting teams in England recently.
This allowed the next batsmen to come in on a good footing, and score more runs.
Rahul also played well, before getting out, contributing to a good start for India in the match.
KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal provided a solid foundation for India's innings.
Their 94-run partnership provided a launch pad for the later-order batters in the Old Trafford Test.
They are the first overseas opening pair to go unbeaten to Lunch on Day 1 in a Test in England in the last 10 years.
Jaiswal played a watchful innings, scoring 58 off 107 balls.
Rahul was dismissed for 46 after Lunch.
