Cricket Live Score | India vs West Indies 2025
Spinner Kuldeep Yadav (2/25) produced a brilliant delivery to dismiss Shai Hope and later trapped Jomel Warrican (8) caught behind, while Washington Sundar (1/9) struck Pierre LBW and created a chance off Greaves that was spilled at first slip.
West Indies’ top order collapsed under pressure, but the middle order showed some resistance. Justin Greaves top-scored with 32 off 48 balls, supported by debutant Khary Pierre (11), putting on a 39-run partnership for the seventh wicket. Roston Chase (24) and Shai Hope (26) also offered brief resistance.
Siraj’s post-lunch spell included the ball of the day, beating Roston Chase for an outside edge that kept keeper Dhruv Jurel guessing. He nearly completed a five-for when Greaves was given LBW, but a DRS review showed the delivery missing leg stump. Greaves later edged another delivery that didn’t carry, and both he and fellow debutant Johann Layne (1) were eventually undone by Bumrah’s lethal yorkers.
India’s pace attack, backed by disciplined spin, ensured West Indies never recovered, giving the hosts full control on a pitch that had eased slightly by the middle session. The first day firmly belongs to India as they dominate the opening Test.
