Summary
The first Test between India and West Indies got underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with the hosts quickly taking control.

Mohammed Siraj’s early onslaught put West Indies in deep trouble, but it was Jasprit Bumrah who delivered a knockout blow later in the innings. It was his magnificent bowling which helped India to get rid of Justin Greaves who looked well set in the middle.

Justin Greaves had been holding firm, looking settled on 32, when the ball of the day came his way. Bumrah’s delivery started on a good length but dipped lethally, gaining the late movement that unpicked the guard. The off-stump went flying, and Greaves was left incredulous.
In a low-key celebration, Bumrah wheeled off with quiet confidence, no theatrics, just acknowledgement of a job perfectly done. That’s the kind of delivery you can’t script.
