In a sensational display of cricketing skill, Ravichandran AshwinIndia’s exceptional bowling performance led India to join the West Indies for just 150 runs on the opening day of the first Test at Windsor Park.
Ashwin claimed his 33rd five-wicket haul in Test cricket, drawing support from Ravindra Jadeja who contributed three wickets to narrow down the opposition. The batting duo of Rohit Sharma and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal further solidified India’s dominance with an undefeated 80-run opening partnership.
Returning to the playing XI after being ruled out of the World Test Championship (WTC) final, Ashwin proved his mettle by Tagenarine Chanderpaul And Kraigg Brathwaite in the first session. In the second session he added the wickets of Alzarry Joseph and debutant Alick Athanaze to his tally before ending the West Indies innings by claiming Jomel Warrican’s wicket.
In the midst of the collapse, Athanaze showed his skill and resilience by scoring 47 points before being sacked by Ashwin. Known for his record-breaking half-century on ODI debut, the left-handed batsman showed his temper and adaptability to the longest format.
When it was India’s turn to bat, Rohit dominated the scoring in the early stages, while Jaiswal took some time to settle and took 16 balls to open his account. Jaiswal eventually found his rhythm and hit a four cutting Joseph over a back point and steadily increasing his scoring speed. By the end of the day, Jaiswal had surpassed his skipper, further highlighting his promising potential.
Twitter erupted with praise and admiration for Ashwin’s remarkable bowling performance, praising his ability to consistently harass the West Indies batters. Fans also praised Jaiswal for his composed debut innings, praising his adaptability and mature shot selection.

Ashwin played his last game against Indian in India for the WTC Final. In the final, he was hanging as India wanted to create depth in their batting line-up. They dropped a wicket taker. Then he plays his first match and won 5 wicket.#INDvsWI

As expected, India started very well on day 1 of the first test. #Aswin, the champion bowler again shows his class. Good bowling performance from India.
Rohit and Jaiswal also batted beautifully and scored 80 without losing.— QualityEngg (@father_of_2kids) July 12, 2023
