India delivered a commanding bowling performance on Day 1 of the 1st Test at the Eden Gardens, dismissing South Africa for just 159 runs and seizing complete control of the match. After winning a crucial toss, the visitors got off to a strong start, racing to 57 for 0 on a pitch showing signs of variable bounce. However, the momentum shifted dramatically as India’s bowlers tore through the batting lineup, claiming all ten wickets for the addition of just 102 more runs.
Jasprit Bumrah was the star of the innings, producing a sensational spell to claim a brilliant five-wicket haul, combining accuracy, seam movement, and relentless pressure to dismantle the top order. Kuldeep Yadav complemented him superbly, striking immediately after lunch by trapping Wiaan Mulder LBW and troubling the batters with drift, dip, and sharp turn.
From the other end, Bumrah continued to dominate, removing Tony de Zorzi to pick up his third wicket. Mohammed Siraj then joined the party, delivering a crucial double-blow by trapping Kyle Verreynne LBW and later uprooting Marco Jansen with a superb delivery. India conceded just 49 runs in 25 overs during the post-lunch session, showcasing exceptional discipline.
Axar Patel struck just before tea, dismissing Corbin Bosch and sealing a thoroughly dominant bowling display by India.

South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first on the day Both skippers after the toss: Temba Bavuma: We will have a bat. The boys just came back from Pakistan. I was with the A team. From a preparation point of view, we've done as best as we can. It's not every day you get to play against 50,000-60,000 people in the stands. So, I'm looking forward to the challenge. Being back in India, it's always an eye-opener. Looking forward to everything. It's been sitting well at the moment (on being the World Test Champions). Hopefully, nothing really changes. For the performance point of view, work around with a lot more pride. But to keep doing what we've been doing. (On the pitch) It's on the dry side. Not much grass. It's a typical Indian wicket. First innings runs is the key. Rabada misses out, Corbin Bosch comes in his place. Shubman Gill: Looks like a good surface. There's a bit in it for the fast bowlers. Dressing room is good. This bunch is very hungry. This Test series is very important. There'll be some turn as the game goes on. Rishabh comes in for Reddy and Axar is also back.
