What a win this is for India! They dominated right from the first day and did not let go of control at any point in the match. Ravichandran Ashwin's fifer on Day 1 set the tone with West Indies managing just 150. The home side always were playing the catch-up game since then and then came a magnificent knock from Yashasvi Jaiswal, who impressed all with his 171. India, expectedly declared their effort on Day 3 with 421/5 on the board and then Ashwin again starred, taking seven wickets to blow away the West Indies within three days of the Test match. An emphatic way to begin the new WTC cycle for India.

The Indian spinners have made their presence felt once again in this Test match with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja taking one wicket apiece as we head to Tea on Day 3. India have had complete control of the match so far and at no point did it look like West Indies had any sort of an upper hand. The home side have lost both openers and still trail by 244 runs. India would on the other hand, look to take as many wickets as possible today to put West Indies under more pressure/
Yashasvi Jaiswal (143*) dazzled under the bright Dominica sun as his century on debut put India in a commanding position in the 1st Test against West Indies. The youngster has had to battle a lot of adversity to get to the Indian team and now that he has made it, he surely did grab the opportunity with both hands. He and involved in a record opening partnership for India against West Indies with skipper Rohit Sharma, who too scored a hundred, his 10th in Test cricket. And even after two wickets fell in quick succession, he continued batting with the same flair and composure as he has been doing in First Class cricket for a long, long time. He and Virat Kohli (36*) were undefeated at the crease when play came to an end on Day 2 and the two batters would hope to pile more misery on West Indies. India had a lead of 162 runs at the close of play on Day 2.

West Indies did find some bit of inspiration from debutant Alick Athanaze, who provided the breakthrough when he dismissed Rohit Sharma right after the latter’s hundred. Jomel Warrican also got one to spin sharply and had Shubman Gill dismissed. But a composed 72*-run partnership between Kohli and Jaiswal saw India end with a commanding 312/2 on the board with the promise of adding much more to this tally. Ideally, India would want to bat just once in this Test match and hence, a lead of around 350-400 would be on their minds. But should the West Indies bowlers put up a good show, things might become a bit interesting. The home side would also expect main spinner Rahkeen Cornwall to be back on the field on Day 3 after he had left the field on Day 2, reportedly due to a chest infection.
