Having been put in to bat by Rohit Sharma, the West Indies were bowled out for 176 runs. As the top Indian bowler, Chahal finishes with 4/49, followed by Sundar (3/30) and Krishna (2/29). Washington Sundar and Yuzvendra Chahal claimed seven wickets between them on the turn-friendly Motera pitch. Harbhajan Singh even quoted on BYJU’s cricket live that Chahal played the part of a Kulcha (bread) by bagging 4 wickets and Sundar just did the work of the butter on the bread while bagging 3 wickets.
In the final over of the century on seven wickets, West Indies were on the brink of presenting a poor game when Holder entered the scene and scored 57 runs out of 71 balls. His wicket was taken by Prasidh Krishna.
Siraj set the tone for the innings when Hope chipped in with a nip-backer. Krishna’s hit-the-deck bustle was also impressive. Holder’s half-century was probably the only bright spot for WI.
In the second innings Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma will be the opening batsmen.
