The eagerly awaited first Test match between India and West Indies is set to take place at Windsor Park Stadium in Dominica from July 12 to July 16. Team India is ready for a comprehensive tour of West Indies in July, encompassing all formats of the game. The official schedule released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) includes two Tests, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and a five-match T20 International series, commencing on July 12. The IND vs WI Test series will mark the beginning of India’s campaign in the World Test Championship Cycle (2023-25).
On the day 1 of the 1st Test at Windsor Park, veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin showcased his brilliance by securing his 33rd five-wicket haul, leading to a batting collapse for West Indies. Ashwin achieved a notable feat by dismissing opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul, becoming the first Indian bowler to dismiss both father and son in Test cricket. He also claimed the wicket of West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite, who had chosen to bat first after winning the toss.
The Indian bowling attack continued to excel as seamer Shardul Thakur dismissed Raymon Reifer early on, while Mohammed Siraj took a stunning one-handed catch to give all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja his first wicket just before the Lunch break. Inspired by Ashwin’s performance, India successfully bowled out West Indies for 150 runs.
In their response, openers Rohit Sharma (30) and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal (40) showed composure and guided India to a solid start, reaching 80/0 in 23 overs. As a result, India trails the West Indies by only 70 runs in the first innings.
