India Vs West Indies, 1st Test Day 1: IND Ride KL Rahul Fifty After Bowling WI Out For 162
Opener KL Rahul struck a fine half-century to help India reach 121 for 2 in reply to West Indies' first innings total of 162 on the opening day of the first Test in Ahmedabad on Thursday (October 2, 2025). At stumps, India were trailing West Indies by 41 runs with eight wickets in hand. After bowling out the visitors for a paltry total in just 44.1 overs, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (36) and Rahul (53 not out) stitched together a 68-run stand for the opening wicket before the former was dismissed. Earlier, opting to bat, the West Indies' fragile top order crumbled under pressure, losing half their side in the very first session. Pacers Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah shared seven wickets between them.
