KL Rahul and Shubman Gill remained unbeaten at stumps on Day 1 of the first Test between India and the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. India ended the day in a strong position at 121/2, trailing by just 41 runs.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, the West Indies endured a tough day as Indian bowlers dominated from the outset. Mohammed Siraj tore through the top order with an impressive four-wicket haul, while Jasprit Bumrah wrapped up the innings with three wickets, dismissing the visitors for just 162 in under 50 overs. With a solid foundation now in place, India will aim to build a commanding lead and take full control of the match.
