India produced a commanding performance on Day 1, bundling out West Indies before the tea break. After being asked to bowl first, the Indian pace attack made an immediate impact. Mohammed Siraj led the charge with three early breakthroughs, removing Tagenarine Chanderpaul for a duck and quickly following up with the dismissals of Brandon King and Alick Athanaze.
Jasprit Bumrah backed him up by trapping Kraigg Brathwaite with a sharp inswinger, while Kuldeep Yadav chipped in by bowling Shai Hope with a beauty just before lunch. By the first break, West Indies were already five down for under 100.
In the second session, things didn’t improve for the hosts. Siraj struck again to remove captain Roston Chase, while Justin Greaves showed some resistance but couldn’t convert it into a meaningful innings. Bumrah returned with a blistering yorker to dismiss Greaves, showcasing his class.
The rest of the lower order folded quickly, with Kuldeep claiming another wicket to end the innings. West Indies never managed to settle, and India’s bowlers—relentless in accuracy and intensity—shared all ten wickets. With both sessions going India’s way, they ended Day 1 firmly in control and set the tone for the rest of the match.
