1st Test: Rahul Hits Unbeaten 53 As India Reach 121/1, Trail West Indies By 41 Runs
Earlier in the day, Mohammed Siraj’s incisive spell of 4-40 helped India bowl out West Indies for a modest 162 in 44.1 overs. In reply, Rahul, in his usual calm and composed avatar, anchored the innings with precision to bring up his 20th Test half-century with trademark elegance.
Amongst the six boundaries he hit, his late drives and cuts were timed to perfection, showcasing his control and clarity in strokeplay. Partnering with Shubman Gill, who looked assured at the crease after a prolific England tour and remained 18 not out, Rahul ensured India ended the day in a position of strength.
