**India in Command After Centuries by Rahul, Jurel, and Jadeja Against West Indies**

**Ahmedabad:** India has taken a firm grip on the first Test match against the West Indies, currently being played in Ahmedabad. After dismissing the West Indies for a paltry 162 in their first innings, the Indian team ended day two with a commanding score of 448/5, powered by centuries from KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravindra Jadeja.

West Indies captain Roston Chase’s pre-match statement about drawing inspiration from New Zealand’s past success against India seems a distant memory as his team struggled to contain the relentless Indian batting attack.

The West Indies’ first innings crumbled against a potent Indian bowling attack, led by Mohammed Siraj (4/40) and Jasprit Bumrah (3/42). Kuldeep Yadav took 2 wickets for 25 runs.

India’s response was equally dominant. KL Rahul, returning to the Test side after a ten month gap for a home test, anchored the innings with a well-constructed century (100 off 197 balls). Shubman Gill contributed a solid 50 before being dismissed. Then Dhruv Jurel (125 off 210 balls) and Ravindra Jadeja (104* off 176 balls) seized the momentum, scoring centuries. Jadeja and Washington Sundar (9*) were at the crease at the close of play.

The West Indies bowlers struggled to make any impact, with Roston Chase taking 2 wickets and Warrican and Khery Pierre taking 1 each. India already holds a lead of 286 runs.

Jurel, making the most of his opportunity in the absence of Rishabh Pant, completed his maiden Test century. The pitch has been prepared by the curator at the request of India’s coach and captain, who want a pitch that supports fast bowlers more than the spinning tracks India is known for. India are well on their way to winning.
