India sit comfortably on top of a two‑match Test series against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
The host team’s openers, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, started the game strongly, carrying India to 94 for 1 after 28 overs. Jaiswal is unbeaten on 40, while Rahul has 38 runs.
Shubman Gill, who won the toss, chose to bat first. The decision paid off early: Jaiswal struck his first runs in the third over, followed by Rahul’s first boundary in the fourth. Their steady partnership built a solid platform before the West Indian captain, Jomel Warrican, removed Rahul from the crease for 38 runs through a stumping.
India’s score dipped to 58 when Rahul was dismissed, but the southern‑handed Cain Sai Sudarshan joined Jaiswal at the middle. The partnership helped India reach the 50‑run mark by the end of the 16th over.
Only one wicket fell in the opening session—Warrican’s stumping, his first of the innings. He bowled six overs, conceding just 21 runs, and took a single wicket. The West Indian lineup has been altered, with Tevim Imlach and Anderson Phillip taking the spots of Brandon King and Johann Layne.
India now leads the two‑match Test series 1‑0. The game looks to stay close, but a solid start has given the home side a good cushion as the match continues. Airtight play and sharper batting may be the key for West Indies if they want to turn the tide.
