India vs West Indies 1st Test in Ahmedabad has turned completely in India’s favour, with the hosts tightening their grip on Day 3. After posting a massive 448/5 declared, India’s bowlers dismantled the West Indies top order, leaving them struggling at 46/5 by the morning session. The match now looks firmly set for an Indian victory.
The dominance of India vs West Indies Test was built on three brilliant centuries. KL Rahul ended his home century drought with a classy 100, while Dhruv Jurel impressed once again with his maiden Test ton. Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten on 104, guiding India to a commanding 286-run lead before the declaration. Together, Rahul, Jurel, and Jadeja ensured India’s batting display was both patient and punishing.
For the West Indies, the bowlers found little success as India’s batters scored freely. The visitors’ spinners couldn’t capitalise on the rough patches, while their pacers lacked consistency. In contrast, India’s bowlers — Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj — immediately found rhythm and movement with the new ball, making run-scoring look impossible.
