Jasprit Bumrah knocked over Justin Greaves and Johann Layne with two brilliant yorkers on Day 1 of the opening Test between India and the West Indies in Ahmedabad on Thursday, October 2. While Greaves perished for 32 (48), Layne followed him to the pavilion for just 1 (4).

The first such dismissal from Bumrah came off the last ball of the 39th over of the West Indies’ first innings. Bumrah bowled a pinpoint yorker, and the batter got low and cleared his back leg, but was surprised with the 140kmph-plus delivery from the World No.1 pacer. The ball went under the bat to hit the base of the off-stump, which came out of the ground.

In his next over (41st off the innings), Bumrah knocked over Layne with another Yorker that crashed into off and middle-stump. The tail-ender was beaten for pace as the ball snuck past his defense.

With two quick wickets, Bumrah became the joint-fastest Indian pacer alongside Javagal Srinath (24 innings) for the fastest 50 Test scalps at home.

Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah help India crush West Indies for 162 in their first innings on Day 1

A clinical bowling display from Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah helped India bowl out the West Indies for 162 in their first innings on Day 1. Siraj, in particular, bagged a four-wicket haul to continue his red-hot form after emerging as the leading wicket-taker in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav scalped two wickets on his Test comeback after nearly 12 months.

The Roston Chase-led West Indies will now be looking to produce a fighting display with the ball to give themselves a chance in the ongoing Test. The visitors have not won a Test match against India since 2002. They are coming on the back of a 0-3 loss to Australia at home.

On the other hand, Team India will be keen to get back to winning ways after losing to New Zealand by a 0-3 margin at home last year. They, however, drew their previous Test series in England by a 2-2 margin earlier this year.
