1st Test: Rahul Hits Unbeaten 53 As India Reach 121/1, Trail West Indies By 41 Runs
Narendra Modi Stadium: An unbeaten 53 off 114 balls by senior opener KL Rahul guided India to 121/2 in 38 overs, just 41 runs behind West Indies at stumps on Day One of the first Test against the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Thursday.
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.
