India’s eyes will be on gaining big lead
After two shocks, KL Rahul took the innings with captain Shubman Gill. Rahul also completed his half -century during this period.

The eyes of the Indian team will now be on the second day to gain a big lead against the West Indies.
Bowlers were named first day
The first day, however, was completely the names of the bowlers who fiercely harassed the West Indies batsmen. The Indian fast bowlers took a total of seven wickets, while the spinners got three successes. The Indian team has landed in this match with three spinners, two fast bowlers and Nitish Reddy with a pace bowling all -rounder. The three spinners are Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav. This strategy has been proved correct in the first innings as the bowlers have done their job well.
West Indies could not stand even two sessions
The West Indies’ first innings was reduced to 162 runs. Justin Greaves scored the highest 32 runs for the West Indies to bat first after winning the toss. The team was all out within four and a half hours. Mohammad Siraj took four wickets and Jaspreet Bumrah took three wickets for India. Apart from this, Kuldeep Yadav got two and Washington Sundar got one wicket. With this, the umpire announced premature tea.
