The West Indies batting order found no match against the Team India bowling department on Day 1 of the IND vs WI 1st Test. Before lunch, the visiting side lost half of their batters, including Shai Hope. As of now, Mohammed Siraj has turned into the wrecker-in-chief. During the writing of the article, he had already claimed 4 wickets. The bowled out of Brandon King can be the best display of the morning.
Among the batters of the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad, Brandon King was looking confident. Before losing the stumps, he smashed three eye-catching boundaries as well. The right-handed batter scored 13 off 15 with three 4s. The West Indies, grasping for some space to breathe, had high hopes for the batter. King started well, about to set on the crease, but Siraj had different plans.
The proven pacer knows very well how to put a confident batter in disarray. For the last ball of the 10th over, the India star released an inswinger from his right arm. The ball pitched on the outside of the off stump and then went towards the uncovered off stump. King did not expect that amount of swing. He did not show any intention to play the ball, which was a massive mistake. The red cherry struck the wicket; Brandon King was gone, and the West Indies lost their third batter of the day.

Mohammed Siraj outclassed Brandon King
After winning the Asia Cup 2025 without losing a single match, Team India is now playing against the West Indies. India, the host team, is the clear favorite to win the 2-match Test series. The visitors have recently experienced multiple unpredictable bumps in their recent international matches. Ahead of the test series against India, multiple injuries made them more vulnerable; still, cricket fans expected some resilience from their batting side.
The combination of Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, and Kuldeep Yadav did not allow the opposition batters to spend too much time on the crease. Before lunch, the top batters of the Caribbean team went back to the pavilion; Team India is comfortably in the driving seat.
