England bowling coach Tim Southee praised the depth and quality of the Indian Test side after a commanding performance by the visitors on Day 1 of the first Test against England at Headingley.
India ended the day at a formidable 359/3, thanks to standout performances from captain Shubman Gill, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, and vice-captain Rishabh Pant.
"I think the class of Indian side, no matter how many games they have played, is always going to be pretty good. They're certainly talented cricketers," Southee said.
