Genuinely one of the most irrelevant series. This West Indies side has nothing to offer. May sound harsh but playing test matches against them doesn't make sense. The series should have been limited to a couple of T20's or ODI's. More like a vacation for team India #WIvsIND https://t.co/UZAWLv6MrM

Before the steady batting performance, it was Indian bowling that had initially grabbed the spotlight. Ravichandran Ashwin, who returned to the Indian team after missing out on the WTC final, took center stage with his exceptional bowling performance on Wednesday. He captured five wickets for a mere 60 runs in 24.3 overs, leading the hosts to a meager 150 in 64.3 overs. This stellar performance marked Ashwin’s 33rd five-wicket haul, reasserting his dominance as one of the premier spinners in international cricket.
Alongside Ashwin’s wizardry, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also made significant contributions with the ball. Jadeja bagged three wickets, contributing to the devastating collapse of the West Indies batting line-up. His economical bowling paired with his wicket-taking ability has continued to prove invaluable to the Indian team.
In sum, the first day of the opening Test against the West Indies unfolded with some memorable moments. Ashwin’s return to form, Jaiswal’s impressive debut, Sharma’s unyielding prowess, and Kohli’s eager anticipation have set the stage for an enthralling contest in the remaining days. As the teams resume post-lunch, Indian cricket fans will eagerly anticipate more captivating performances from their team.
