The Indian star Pacer Jasprit Bumrah placed the West Indies on the back foot again and sent Justin Greaves and Johann Layne back in a spectacular way to the pavilion on the opening day of the current two-match test series opener in the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The Indian fast bowler supplied a perfectly focused Yorker, directly at the foot of the off-stump, making Justin Greaves helpless. Greaves, however, tried hard to defend, but the ball slept under his bat and collapsed in the off-stumps, and ended his innings at 32 of 48 balls.

Well, Kuldeep Yadav declined the West -India inning by taking Jomel Warrican’s wicket. On the first ball he stood opposite Kuldeep, and Warrican tried a risky Reverse Sweep, the wrong estimation of the flight and the ball completely missed.
The edge brushed his glove and flew directly to the Indian Wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurget, who took a brilliant low catch. The innings of Warrican ended at 8 of 16 balls, because the West -India could only manage 162 runs against India.
The misery of West -India takes place in India with early collapse
They suffered from a dramatic collapse in Ahmedabad and were thrown out in just 44.1 Overs-the second fastest first innings resignation by a visiting team in India. Bangladesh was previously excluded in the day-night test 2019 in 30.3 overs in Eden Gardens.
West -India have struggled seriously in India. In their last ten innings in India they have succeeded in surviving the opening of the new ball only once. Almost every time the fast bowlers of India have taken early wickets, so that the visitors are under pressure from the start.
