1st Test: Jadeja, Siraj Help India Take 1-0 Lead After Thrashing West Indies By An Innings And 140 Runs
Narendra Modi Stadium: Vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja starred with figures of 4-54 as India wrapped up a dominant victory over West Indies by an innings and 140 runs in the first Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday. The win coming before tea break on day three gives India a 1-0 lead in the two-match series and also marks a successful home Test captaincy debut for Shubman Gill.
India began the day by declaring with a lead of 286 runs, which was enough to secure a comprehensive victory over the West Indies, who were quickly reduced to 46/5. Although Alick Athanaze (38) and Justin Greaves (25) offered brief resistance with a 46-run stand, it was clearly not enough as they were bowled out in 45.1 overs during their second innings.
West Indies’ batting, lasting just 89.2 overs across both innings, starkly reflects their long-term struggles in the longest format. With their bowlers struggling to challenge India’s top order, West Indies face a tough challenge to regroup and improve their performance in the second and final Test in New Delhi, starting on October 10.
