IND vs WI Day 1 Overview
West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first. The West Indies openers dulled the new ball, but Ashwin’s early arrival knocked both of them. Tagenarine Chanderpaul, the son of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, was one of the openers. When he got rid of T Chanderpaul, Ashwin achieved a unique milestone. He made cricket history by becoming the first Indian to dismiss “a father and his son.”
Wickets started to fall in a cluster and West Indies had no answers. Jadeja removed three and Ashwin got a fifer, as a result, India were able to bundle out the hosts at just 150 runs. Debutant Alick Athanaze was the team’s best batter, although he fell just short of a fifty. Most of the West Indian hitters went down via hurried shots that lacked any test-specific application or attrition.
