Rajneesh Gupta presents the numbers from Day 2 of the first Test.

49 Number of balls taken by Hardik Pandya to race to his fifty -- the second fewest by any Indian batsman on Test debut after Yuvraj of Patiala who took 42 balls against England at Madras in 1933-1934.

4 Number of Indian batsman to have scored a fifty at number eight or lower while batting for the first time in a debut Test.
Hardik Pandya joined Deepak Shodhan, Balwinder Singh Sandhu, Dattu Phadkar and C D Gopinath.
