India National Cricket Team vs West Indies National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: West Indies captain Roston Chase won the toss and opted to bat first against India in their first Test of the two-match series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Shubman Gill remains unfazed about the toss outcome, backed by India's strong bowling arsenal featuring Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Nitish Reddy alongside a potent spin trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar.

The West Indies have given Johann Layne a Test debut, adding fresh talent to their lineup.

Speaking at the time of toss, WI captain 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."

India captain Shubman Gill said, "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."
