Team India has returned to the field only 3 days after winning the title in the Asia Cup 2025. But in the true sense, Team India has returned after 58 days because the Indian team has returned to this format for the first time after the end of the Test series in England.
The Test series between India-West Indies started in Ahmedabad from October 2 and on the very first day showed two players who played an important role in equalizing the series in England. First fast bowler Mohammad Siraj wreaked havoc with his balls and then opener KL Rahul scored a half -century while playing another simple innings.The 'Home season' of Team India was started from the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, whose first day was completely named after the Indian team.
In the new cycle of the World Test Championship, the guest West Indies was already difficult to play in front of the Indian team and the same happened in the first day's game. The West Indies decided to bat first but its entire innings was piled up for only 162 runs and Siraj became the biggest reason for this.On the tour of England, Siraj took the maximum 23 wickets from Team India. Despite the absence of Jaspreet Bumrah in 2 matches of that series of five Test matches, Siraj won Team India. About 2 months later, Siraj again showed the same style and destroyed the top order of the West Indies with the new ball.
Siraj took the first wicket, when Tejenren Chandrapaul, who returned to the Windies team after 21 months, was dismissed without opening the account.After this, Siraj returned the pavilion to Brandon King and Elik Etnaaz in 2 consecutive overs. Siraj took his fourth wicket by dismissing Windies captain Roston Chase seen in a strong rhythm. Siraj missed out on taking 5 wickets for the first time in the house but he played a big role in dismissing the Windies early. At the same time, Bumrah also showed his fire. Especially his 2 wonderful yorkers blew up stumps of Windies batsmen.
Kuldeep Yadav also took 2 wickets showing the magic of his spin.On the other hand, in the batting, KL Rahul also continued the England form. Rahul, who scored more than 500 runs including 3 centuries on the tour of England, started. He did not lose his patience in front of the tight line of Windies pace attack and kept batting in the same rhythm, which gave him success in England. His partnership with Jaiswal again was good and both added 68 runs. 2 wickets fell in front of him but Rahul remained frozen and also completed his 20th half -century.
In the end, he returned unbeaten by taking Team India up to 121 runs.At the same time, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who failed to make a place in the Asia Cup, started slow. At one time, this young opener could score only 4 runs in 37 balls. But due to rain, the game stopped for some time and when started, Jaiswal rained the boundary. However, he failed to capitalize on the good opportunity and was dismissed by 36 runs off Jayden Seals. At the same time, Sai Sudarshan, who came at number three, missed a good opportunity again and returned to the pavilion soon. Shubman Gill, who was playing at home for the first time as a Test captain, made her debut and returned unbeaten on the first day with Rahul.
