India vs West Indies: India's 1st Test Debutant Shines as West Indies Stumble

India's Test Debutant Shines as West Indies Stumble
India's 1st Test debutant Shubman Gill led from the front as India's pace attack tore through the West Indies batting lineup. Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah shared seven wickets, with KL Rahul (53 not out) and Gill (18 not out) anchoring a solid reply.
The West Indies' decision to bat first backfired as their top order crumbled under pressure, losing five wickets before lunch. Contributions from Justin Greaves (32), Roston Chase (24), and Shai Hope (26) provided some resistance.
Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar said, "We have had a fair break, and Bumrah is ready to go." With Jasprit Bumrah leading the charge, India will be confident of pushing for a significant first-innings lead.
The series will continue with the second Test match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The West Indies will look to regroup, while India will aim to capitalize on the momentum and push for a series victory.
This series has significant implications for the West Indies' chances in the World Test Championship. If they fail to win, it will be a major blow to their chances.
