Leaders Online Desk: The West Indies team, who were very proud of their past glory, had a poor first innings and had to settle for 150 runs at home against India. After the batsmen in the front and middle order started getting out at regular intervals, there was no option left for them. Therefore, the first day of the first Test remained in the name of India. In reply, India scored 80 runs without losing a single wicket. By the end of the day’s play, debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 40 not out while Rohit Sharma scored 30 runs. Experienced, spin all-rounder Ashwin scored four hits for the hosts.

Windies captain Craig Braithwaite elected to bat first after winning the toss. However, it became clear that this decision backfired on them as they had to face a big fall right from the start. Initially, Braithwaite (20) and T. Chanderpaul (12) was dismissed cheaply. T. Chanderpaul was bowled by Ashwin while Braithwaite took an easy catch to Rohit Sharma off Ashwin’s bowling. Ramon Raifer at number three was caught by Shardul off Ishan Kishankar for 2 runs. It was Ishan’s first wicket behind the wicket in Test cricket. Ashwin became the most successful bowler for India. He dismissed 5 batsmen for 60 runs. Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets for 26 runs.

At the same time, Rohit has scored 30 runs in 65 balls. He hit three fours and one six. India trailed West Indies by 70 runs in the first innings.
