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.
The incident involving Jonny Bairstow and Alex Carey in the second Ashes Test at Lord's has left the cricket fraternity divided. Carey controversially stumped Bairstow as he wandered out of left his crease after ducking a short ball from Cameron Green. The incident sparked a debate about the balance between the 'laws of cricket' and the 'spirit of the game'. India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had also shared his views on Bairstow's dismissal, praising Carey for showing great presence of mind.
India are on course for a significant first-innings lead after off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin claimed 5-60 to bundle out West Indies for only 150 runs on the opening day of the first test at Windsor Park in Roseau on Wednesday.
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.
The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the custodians of the laws of the game, has pushed for extra funding to protect Test cricket and the women's game, and suggested a significant reduction in ODIs after the 2027 World Cup. In a recent meeting at the Lord's, the MCC's 13-member World Cricket Committee (WCC) proposed "removing bilateral ODIs, other than in the one year preceding each World Cup".
Nursing a bruised ego after WTC final snub last month, Ravichandran Ashwin made the best possible comeback as his 33rd five-wicket haul put India in the driver's seat against a below-par West Indies on the first day of the opening Test, in Dominica on Wednesday. Ashwin justified his top billing in ICC Test bowlers' ranking with figures of 5 for 60 in 24.3 overs to decimate West Indies for a lowly 150 in 64.3 overs with Ravindra Jadeja (3/26 in 14 overs) beautifully complementing him to make life miserable for the home team batters.
