On the second day of the fifth Test in Dharamsala, Rohit Sharma (102*) and Shubman Gill (101*) displayed exceptional batting performances, securing their second tons of the series. In a fast-paced morning session, India galloped into the lead, scoring 129 runs at a healthy rate of 4.3 runs per over.

The duo's aggressive approach rattled England's bowlers, with Rohit starting the onslaught by hitting a six and a four off Shoaib Bashir. Gill joined in with trademark back foot strokes and impressive footwork against the spinners. Despite a brief period of caution before reaching their milestones, both batters showcased near-flawless batting.

Rohit, known for his hook and pull shots, capitalized on Mark Wood's bowling, while Gill took advantage of scoring opportunities. The session, marked by India's assertive intent, puts England in a challenging position, requiring an exceptional performance in the remaining sessions.

With India at 264/1, leading by 46 runs, Rohit and Gill aim to extend their partnership and ensure India bats just once in the game.
