Split between thinking this is a great breakthrough by two emerging Indian bats inexperienced in the conditions/ too little too late by a pair of players who offered little until they got a flat track in a dead game.
Haven't watched even a single ball of this test. Would like to know if this is actually a batting friendly test as you mentioned. No movement off the pitch or in air ?
Thinking more after your comment (flat track in dead game), there could be fact because Cook and Joe were struggling for runs, both scored tons. Similarly Rahul had a horrible time since SA and now he scored a ton. Rishabh too was struggling going by scorecards ( 43 runs in 4 innings), and now he scores a ton.
Wondering if this is the test where the maximum number of runs have been scored in this series.
Anyways the runs will be important as it saves them from being dropped, so they will take it even if it has been a batsman's wicket. A ton at 21 for Indian player batting in England is an achievement. Wondering when was the last time an Indian wicket keeper scored a ton in England ? Must be in 19th century.
