However, he initially navigated the threat of the able pace duo - Pankaj Singh and Kaul. But with Rest of India's pacers striking at regular intervals, Gandhi changed gears and improvised. He ended the day undefeated on an impressive 136. Manprit Juneja also composed a well-measured 47.
For Rest of India, Pankaj and Kaul bowled with perseverance and utilized the helpful conditions to good effect. In fact, the duo shared seven of the eight wickets to fall. However, they couldn't separate the ninth wicket pair of Gandhi and Hardik Patel. Gujarat's think-tank would hope that Gandhi can stitch useful stands with the tail-enders and extend the total to 350.
