India, playing on Day 3 of the First Test at Ahmedabad, declared their innings earlier this morning. Since then, the bowlers have dominated the Windies batters, as they had already extended a huge lead over the Windies’ first innings total of 162.
With India leading by 286 runs in the first innings, the West Indies are now 4 wickets down with less than 50 runs on the board, as Indian spinners dominate on a semi-old track. Unlike the first innings, where Shubman Gill largely relied on his seamers, he quickly resorted to his spinners in the second innings.
India took a huge lead with three players hitting massive hundreds. KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Dhruv Jurel all scored centuries to hand India a massive lead. Jadeja remained not out for 104* and continued his excellent form from the England tour.

With Nitish Kumar Reddy’s Superman catch drawing the first blood for India, Ravindra Jadeja, the centurion from the first innings, has now backed the Baggy Blue with 2 more wickets in his opening spell. Brought in early, Jadeja picked the wickets of opener John Campbell and Brandon King.
Kuldeep Yadav, the spinner returning to the longest format of the game, has spun a web of deceit in front of West Indies skipper Roston Chase in the second innings of the first Test at Ahmedabad.
Kuldeep, who is at the peak of his prowess now, set Chase up with fuller deliveries and dragged his length slightly back to deceive the captain. The ball drifted down sharply and went on to knock his off-stump out.
Kuldeep, you beauty! 😍
