On Day 1 of the ongoing first Test in Dominica, India comprehensively overpowered the West Indies. When the West Indies decided to bat, they only scored 150 runs in their first innings because Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin destroyed the opposition’s hitters and claimed a wicket. In response, India’s openers Rohit Sharma (30*) and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal (40*) made sure the visitors had a trouble-free first day, bringing India to safety at 80 for 0, 70 runs behind the Windies.
Shubman Gill, who is often extremely fun, burst into a dance during the West Indies innings as India was having a great time on the pitch.
In the 64th over, Gill, who was batting at short-leg, started dancing as former captain Virat Kohli, wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan, and West Indies batter Rahkeem Cornwall looked on.
Shubman appeared to be in a good mood as the Windies innings came to an end after his wish had been granted as India had a great day in the field on Day 1. Shubman, standing in the forward short-leg position, broke into a dance with teammate Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan nearby as India only needed one wicket to end the West Indies batting order.
Shubman, who is widely considered one of the most gifted batters of the current age, is only 23 years old but has already secured a spot in the Indian squads for all forms. The right-handed batter, though, will have a new obstacle in the first Test when he pads up at the same location in international cricket, despite having batted at no. 3 in local cricket.
The Windies had previously won the toss in Dominica and chosen to bat after being guided by Kraigg Brathwaite. The team lost players early as off-spinner Ashwin ran roughshod over the middle, leaving the hosts in trouble at 68/4 before lunch. Only Alick Athanaze (47), who was batting at number five, managed to hold one end against the Indian bowlers. Additionally, Ashwin, who finished with figures of 5/60 in 24.3 overs, eliminated the batter.
