Rahul unbeaten on 53, IND 121/2 at stumps

India vs West Indies 1st Test, Day 1 LIVE: As expected, the Indian team dominated the proceedings of the 1st Test in Ahmedabad on day 1. After Siraj took four wickets, and Bumrah took three, West Indies were reduced to 162, and then in reply India managed to score 121 at stumps. KL Rahul is still batting on 53 and would be looking for a big one on Friday.

After a dramatic Asia Cup, the focus now shifts to traditional red-ball cricket. India start their home season by hosting the West Indies for the two-match Test series, starting at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. All the talk regarding this Test has been around the pitch. Meanwhile, it also starts the era without legendary names as India play the first home Test without Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin after a gap of 15 years.

West Indies endured a forgettable first innings, bundled out for just 162 in under two sessions after opting to bat first. Siraj set the tone with three early wickets, including skipper Roston Chase, while Bumrah’s yorker cleaned up Justin Greaves. The pace duo combined for seven wickets, with Kuldeep Yadav adding two, including the final strike before tea. With no batter crossing 32 and five wickets tumbling in each session, it was a tame batting effort that handed India control of the match inside the opening day.
