West Indies Struggle Despite Spin-Friendly Pitch
The visitors found themselves outclassed in the India vs West Indies Test 2025 despite favorable conditions for spinners. Roston Chase, Jomel Warrican, and Khary Pierre combined for figures of 4 for 283 in 82 overs. Early defensive field placements, including a missing first slip when Rahul edged Seales, further allowed India to dictate terms. Only Sinalo Jafta and Khary Pierre found individual positives, but the West Indies overall struggled to apply pressure.
India Firmly in Control of the First Test
By stumps on Day 3, the India vs West Indies 1st Test 2025 had tilted heavily in India’s favor. Centuries from Rahul, Jurel, and Jadeja placed the hosts in a commanding position. Unless West Indies produce a remarkable turnaround, India appear poised to seal victory well before the final day.
