India dominate West Indies after 162 all-out in first Test Ahmedabad

India asserted dominance over the West Indies in the first Test match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, largely due to exceptional performances by bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah and batsman KL Rahul. The West Indies were dismissed for a low total of 162 runs, with Siraj taking four wickets and Bumrah three, utilizing swing, seam, and precise yorkers to dismantle the visitors' batting lineup early on. In response, KL Rahul anchored India's innings with a composed unbeaten half-century, supported by Shubman Gill and later Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja, who forged significant partnerships to build a commanding lead. Despite some resistance from West Indies players like Shai Hope and Roston Chase, India maintained pressure throughout, with effective bowling and steady batting showcasing their control. Rahul’s milestone was complemented by Jadeja’s aggressive hitting, including two sixes, contributing to India's strong position at 326-4 on day two. This performance signals India's readiness to dominate the 2025/26 home cricket season against the struggling West Indies side.
