Sai Sudharsan misjudges length to be trapped lbw for 7 on Day 1 of IND vs WI 2025 1st Test [Watch]

India batter Sai Sudharsan endured a disappointing outing as he was dismissed cheaply by West Indies skipper Roston Chase on Day 1 (Thursday, October 2) of the first Test of the two-match series. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is the venue for the contest.

The dismissal came on the fifth ball of the 25th over of the hosts’ innings. Chase bowled a length delivery on middle stump, which Sudharsan misjudged as he went onto the back foot attempting a pull shot. The ball struck his back leg in front of the stumps, prompting the umpire to raise his finger and send the Indian batter back to the pavilion.
