The first day of the one-off Test against England here turned memorable for Indian cricket, specially women’s cricket, as the team made its way into record books, becoming the second team to score over 400 runs in a single day.
They joined England who had made the record way back in 1935. India’s score of 410/7 at stumps came on the back of scintillating half-centuries by four players and three big partnerships.
India were 410/7 at the end of day’s play with Deepti Sharma (60) and Pooja Vastrakar (4) unbeaten at the crease.
With a stunning batting display, India also topped their previous highest total at home. The team moved past the earlier record of 400/9 against South Africa in 2014.
