Day 1 Match Summary

Siraj and Bumrah Shine, West Indies all out just 162 at 44.1 overs

The West Indies chose to bat first after winning the toss. Their innings got off to a poor start; before lunchtime, they were at 90/5, owing to Mohammed Siraj's aggressive opening spell, which claimed three early wickets (Chanderpaul, King, and Athanaze).

In the morning, Jasprit Bumrah also made an impact, taking John Campbell out for eight.

After lunch, the collapse persisted. With Bumrah in the tail and Kuldeep Yadav taking two wickets, the West Indies were all out for 162 in just. 

India's bowling finals were outstanding: Bumrah: 3 for 42; Kuldeep: 2 for 25; Siraj: 4 for 40

As a result, India had established firm control after the first innings of Day 1, after reducing the West Indies to a manageable total.

With KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease, India's response got underway. 68 runs were scored in the first stand. Jaiswal made 36 contributions before his dismissal.

The following wicket fell quickly: Roston Chase trapped Sai Sudharsan LBW as he fell cheaply for 7.

With KL Rahul undefeated at 53 and Shubman Gill not out at 18, India was at 121/2 in 38 overs and 41 runs behind.

Given the early success of India's bowlers, Rahul's fifty was crucial because it stabilized the innings and kept India in the hunt.
 

Overview Day 1: India Ahead In The First Day, India Trails By 41 Runs

On the first day, India was in a dominant position. With discipline and variation, the bowlers destroyed the West Indies batting order, preventing the visitors from ever gaining traction. In response, KL Rahul's half-century brought steadiness, averting early panic and providing India with a strong foundation for Day 2.

India would probably try to surpass the West Indies and establish a formidable advantage in the upcoming innings with eight wickets left and only 41 runs behind.

Other hand, Day 1 was disastrous for the West Indies. None of the middle or lower hitters were able to keep the innings together, and their top order collapsed.
