Thakur delivers to R. Reifer, and he’s caught by Ishan Kishan! What a fantastic catch by Kishan behind the stumps! Thakur pitched the ball slightly fuller and wider, tempting Reifer to go for a powerful drive. However, the angle took it away from him, resulting in a faint edge.
The ball seemed to lose momentum as it made its way to Kishan, who reacted swiftly. Leaping to his left, Kishan stretched his arms forward and managed to get his gloves under the ball. The third umpire reviewed the catch and confirmed it quite promptly. India secures their third wicket with this exceptional play.
The first match of the Test series between India and West Indies is being played today at Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica. In this match, West Indies captain Craig Brathwaite won the toss and decided to bat first. It should be noted that West Indies last defeated India in 2002. Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal are making their debut for India in the first Test match of the series.
After winning the toss, West Indies captain Craig Brathwaite said, “We will bat first. The surface usually dries up, but there is some moisture in the first hour. We had a ten-day camp in Antigua to prepare for the series.
Lord Shardul Thakur doesn’t waste time.

Lara was there, which was good for our young batsmen. In the last two WTC cycles, we have seen ourselves in a good position (finished 8th). We need consistency and to keep it together. I want the guys to stay positive. Alzarri Joseph will make his debut.”
