West Indies vs India 1st Test, Day 2, Live Updates: Debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal is currently standing unbeaten at 40 and will be eying his maiden international half-century. On the other hand, skipper Rohit Sharma is also standing unbeaten at 30.India will begin Day 2 of the ongoing first Test against West Indies from 80/0 on Thursday at the Windsor Park in Dominica.
Team India completely dominated West Indies on Day 1 of the first Test at Windsor Park in Dominica on Wednesday. Opting to bowl first, the hosts were bundled out for just 150 after Ravichandran Ashwin took a five-wicket haul. Later, India ended the day with 80 runs on the board without losing any wicket and trailing by only 70 runs. The match also turned out to be an interesting one as the Rohit Sharma-led side made some changes to their line-up and handed the debut caps to Yashasvi Jaiswal and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan.
Ahead of the first Test against West Indies in Dominica, India captain Rohit Sharma had confirmed that young batter Yashasvi Jaiswal will be making his debut for the team. Rohit had revealed that Yashasvi will open the innings alongside him, with Shubman Gill coming in at No.3. The Indian skipper had suggested that Gill has expressed his wish to play one down. Former India opening batter Aakash Chopra, however, believes it is unusual for a player to request for a change in the batting order in Indian cricket.
Another masterful performance from off-spinner Ravi Ashwin saw him pick up five wickets and put India in control after Day 1 of the first Test against the West Indies in Dominica on Wednesday. Ashwin, surprisingly left out of the World Test Championship that India lost to Australia, took 5-60 including the key wickets of captain Kraigg Brathwaite (20) and top scorer Alick Athanaze (47).
Ravichandran Ashwin's five-wicket haul highlighted a dominant day for India as the visitors reached 80 without loss at stumps after bundling out the West Indies for 150 on the first day of the opening Test in Dominica on Wednesday.
Ravichandran Ashwin led the way for Team India with a five-wicket haul as the visitors bundled out West Indies for 150, before reaching 80/0 at stumps on Day 1 in the first Test in Dominica. After being left out of the XI in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, Ashwin made a remarkable comeback, scalping 5-60 off 24.3 overs to leave Windies captain Kraigg Brathwaite regretting the decision to bat first on winning the toss. Ravindra Jadeja was India's second most successful bowler on Day 1 as he picked up three wickets to support Ashwin.
India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin continued his monstrous run against West Indies, becoming the bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in Test cricket among all active players. Ashwin accomplished this feat during India's first Test against West Indies in Dominica. After missing the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 final against Australia earlier in June, Ashwin made an impactful return in India's first match of the new 2023-25 WTC cycle.
The first day of the first Test between India and West Indies in Dominica completely belonged to the visitors. Ravichandran Ashwin weaved his magic on way to taking his 33rd five-wicket haul while Ravindra Jadeja took four wickets. The result was that West Indies' first innings ended on 150. Apart from the superb bowling effort, the Indians were agile on the field too. While there were several good catches, the one that stood out was that of Mohammed Siraj, who took a brilliant catch of Jermaine Blackwood.
