1st Test: Siraj, Bumrah, And Rahul Ensure India Seize Control Over West Indies (ld)
Narendra Modi Stadium: Standout performances from Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, and K.L. Rahul ensured India seized control on the opening day of the first Test against the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Thursday.
On a green pitch, incisive spells from Siraj (4-40) and Bumrah (3-42) meant India bowled out West Indies for a modest 162 in 44.1 overs. While Siraj wreaked havoc at the start, Bumrah took one initially and then came to wrap up the tail at the fag end.
In reply, Rahul’s unbeaten 53 off 114 balls - his 20th Test half-century - guided India to 121/2 in 38 overs at stumps and narrowed the deficit to just 41 runs with eight wickets in hand. In his usual calm and composed avatar, Rahul anchored the innings with precision and trademark elegance.
