On the first morning of the first Test against the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, India’s pace attack went all out, with Mohammed Siraj bowling a magnificent delivery to castle Brandon King. By the time drinks were called in the first session, the hosts were up 42 to 4.
West Indies captain Roston Chase chose to bat first on a greenish pitch, bolstering his batting lineup. Shubman Gill, India’s captain, was not too upset about losing the toss, conceding that the surface had been covered and would likely help seamers early on.
It did not take long for India’s fast bowling combo of Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj to demonstrate their excellence.
However, after drawing the first blood from Tagenarine Chanderpaul, he dispatched King with a peach. On the final ball of the tenth over, Siraj went full outside off, and A. King took a leave, anticipating the ball to keep its line. However, the delivery came back in, slamming into the middle stump. Following that, the pacer used his trademark Cristiano Ronaldo ‘Siuuu’. King departed for 13 off 15 balls, putting West Indies at 39 for 3.

India holds an advantage at Drinks
Siraj had already accounted for Chanderpaul, who nicked behind for a duck early in the innings, and later removed Alick Athanaze with another delivery outside off. His partner, Bumrah, got into the act by dismissing John Campbell, thanks to a sharp review that confirmed a thin edge.
At 42 for 4 in just 11.4 overs, West Indies’ decision to bat first was looking increasingly poor as the top order had no answers to India’s bowling, with Bumrah and Siraj keeping the stumps in play and forcing constant errors in judgment.
