Ahmedabad, Oct 2 (UNI) India ended Day 1 of the opening Test against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium trailing by 41 runs, posting 121 for 2 in 38 overs, with KL Rahul unbeaten on 53 and Shubman Gill on 18.

The day belonged to India’s bowlers, with Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav producing a spellbinding display to skittle the West Indies for just 162 at Tea.

Siraj opened the floodgates early. Tagenarine Chanderpaul was cleaned up for a duck, and the wickets kept tumbling – Brandon King misjudged a nip-backer and Alick Athanaze nicked to KL Rahul. Bumrah reminded everyone why he is a master of chaos, sending back John Campbell via an UltraEdge review after Campbell thought he was safe. Three wickets before lunch left West Indies wobbling at 42 for 4.
