IND vs WI Live Cricket Score 1st Test: Siraj's Triple Strike Put West Indies On Backfoot, Windies Stumble Early With 4 Wickets

Siraj strikes again! Mohammed Siraj claims his third wicket, leaving West Indies reeling at 42/4. Alick Athanaze departs after scoring 12 runs.

Bumrah strikes! Campbell departs after a close call, with Jurel taking a sharp catch off a thick edge. The on-field umpire's no-call is overturned after Gill reviews, and the third umpire gives it out. WI 20/2 in 6.1 ov.

Mohammed Siraj strikes early! Just four overs in, Siraj removes Tagenarine Chanderpaul, giving India their first wicket of the match in his second over.

"We have got four Tests (at home) before the end of the year and we would like to win all four. Preparation has been good. Everyone is in great touch, it is about getting into the red-ball mindset. It looks like a very good surface. Not disappointed with losing the toss, it has been under covers and there might be some help early on. We have two seamers - Bumrah and Siraj, three spinners - Jaddu Bhai, Washington and Kuldeep, and allrounder Nitish Reddy," Shubman Gill said.

"We are going to bat first. Looks a good one. There will be a bit of moisture, it is Test cricket and we will have to handle that first couple of hours. It is a young side, we want to come out and play some good cricket. We don't want to be batting last on this wicket as we know it will turn. We have gone with two seamers, two spinners and an allrounder," Roston Chase said.
