India asserted their supremacy over a struggling West Indies side, wrapping up the first Test in emphatic fashion. The visitors folded meekly in both innings, lasting a mere 89.2 overs combined, as India clinched a comprehensive victory, highlighted by clinical bowling, sharp fielding, and tactical precision.
 
Resuming Day 3 with a significant lead, India declared their second innings unexpectedly early, choosing not to give Nitish Kumar Reddy further time in the middle on his comeback from injury. Instead, they set the West Indies a steep target of 286, banking on deteriorating pitch conditions and fading light to push for a win. The decision proved spot on. 
 
Mohammed Siraj struck early, removing Tagenarine Chanderpaul with the help of a sensational low catch by Nitish. India’s fielders were electric — KL Rahul’s sharp reflexes at slip saw the back of Brandon King, while Yashasvi Jaiswal's diving effort sent Shai Hope packing. From there, it was a procession.
 
West Indies were soon reeling at 46/5. Though Alick Athanaze and Justin Greaves briefly steadied the innings with a positive partnership, it was undone by Washington Sundar, who trapped Athanaze after a review overturned an on-field call. Siraj then returned with a fiery double-strike, removing Greaves and Warrican in the same over. Ravindra Jadeja continued to dominate, eventually finishing with four wickets, including the dismissal of Johann Layne, caught by Siraj, as the Windies collapsed for 152.
 
The numbers paint a grim picture for West Indies: in their last 15 Test innings, they’ve crossed 200 just twice, with a highest total of 253, and haven’t once survived beyond the first new ball. This loss only deepens concerns about their Test cricket future, while India walk away with a 1-0 series lead and complete dominance.

In the last five overs (36–40), India tightened their grip on the Test match, reducing West Indies to 104/8. Mohammed Siraj struck twice in the 37th over—first trapping Justin Greaves lbw with a sharp yorker and then dismissing Jomel Warrican with a mistimed shot that landed safely in Shubman Gill’s hands. Siraj ended a brilliant spell with figures of 10-2-21-3.
 
Washington Sundar kept the pressure on from the other end, bowling three economical overs and conceding just six runs. He varied his pace and angles effectively, troubling Khary Pierre, who survived but could only add a couple of runs with Johann Layne. Layne managed his first Test runs with a stylish boundary off Siraj but was otherwise cautious.

India vs West Indies LIVE SCORE UPDATES 1st Test Day 3: WI trying to put runs on the board!

West Indies reached 91/5 after 35 overs in their second innings, with Alick Athanaze on 38* and Justin Greaves on 24*. India’s bowlers maintained tight lines and applied relentless pressure.

Jasprit Bumrah delivered a fiery over, striking Athanaze’s helmet with a sharp bouncer, prompting a brief concussion check. Mohammed Siraj returned to bowl a maiden over before conceding a single in the next. He kept things disciplined, using bouncers and good-length deliveries to test Greaves. Washington Sundar was tidy, getting some turn and bounce, even drawing a false LBW decision that was overturned due to a clear inside edge.

Despite a few risky moments, including Athanaze’s miscued pull for two and a misjudged sweep, the pair showed resilience. India, however, continue to dominate.
