1st Test: Siraj Picks Three As India Reduce West Indies To 90/5 At Lunch
Narendra Modi Stadium: Mohammed Siraj’s incisive spell, along with Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav being among the wicket-takers led India dominant start by reducing West Indies to 90/5 in 23.2 overs at lunch on day one of the first Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday.
Electing to bat after winning the toss, West Indies were rocked early by Siraj, who exploited the pitch with swing, seam, and bounce to claim 3-19 in his overs, as the visitors’ were reduced to 42/4. He and Bumrah kept the stumps in play and forced frequent errors.
Skipper Roston Chase and Shai Hope tried reviving the innings with a 48-run stand, before Kuldeep castled the latter at the stroke of lunch. In the morning, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, returning to Test cricket after 21 months, departed for a duck in the opening over after tickling one down leg to keeper Dhruv Jurel off Siraj.
