IND vs WI Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 3: India beat West Indies by an innings and 140 runs; take 1-0 lead
IND vs WI Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 3: India’s Day 2 dominance over the West Indies set the stage for a commanding performance on Day 3 of the opening Test.
Resuming at 121/2, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill quickly erased the deficit, with Rahul finally ending his home century drought by scoring 100 off 197 balls, his 11th overall. Gill contributed a solid 98 before falling just after reaching his fifty.
The highlight, however, was the combination of Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja. Jurel notched his maiden Test century in only his sixth match, while Jadeja continued his purple patch, scoring 104. Together, they compiled a 206-run stand for the fifth wicket, narrowly missing the Indian record of 214 held by VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar.
Both batters showcased aggressive yet controlled play — Jurel with a six over midwicket and Jadeja hitting five towering sixes, surpassing MS Dhoni for the most maximums by an Indian in Tests.
KL Rahul celebrated his century for his infant daughter, Jurel saluted the Indian Army, and Jadeja’s familiar sword celebration delighted fans.
India batted with patience and authority, scoring 448/5 in 128 overs at 3.50 runs per over, with 45 boundaries and eight sixes. The West Indies bowling lacked energy, and their spinners could not extract a consistent threat despite appreciable turn and bounce from the rough.
With a 286-run lead and spinners ready to exploit the pitch, India will look to press for a result by the end of Day 3.
The hosts’ disciplined yet aggressive approach has left the West Indies struggling under mounting pressure, setting up a potential early finish and a dominant start in the World Test Championship. Follow all the live updates on TimesofIndia.com!

IND vs WI Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 3: Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja: I have been working hard on my batting. We had two months off, no Test cricket or ODIs, I was working on my fitness and skills during that time. I have been batting at no. 8 or 9, but now I have a number, number 6, I need no hurry or rush, I can take my time and play my game. Playing on red soil is fun, you get more turn and bounce, you enjoy that as a spinner. I would like to thank the coach and management, being the vice captain you are always there and I am happy to do it. I am not the captain yet, Kuldeep has bowled so much for India and Washi is also there, no need to give suggestions as they have all played for a long time.

IND vs WI Live Score: Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill: Six losses in a row. But as long as we keep winning the matches it does not matter. This was a perfect game for us, three centurions in the game and we fielded really well, no complaints. Whenever you get a start, both of us got starts and could not convert, plenty of others did and happy for them. When you have quality spinners like them it is difficult to rotate, that is the challenge and fun of playing in India, there will be someone out there to get the job done. So many things, it is hard to pin down to one thing, we have played as team and got out of tough situations. If we keep learning and using the experience then I will be happy.

IND vs WI Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 3: Here's West Indies captain
Roston Chase: "When you win the toss and get bowled out for 160-odd it is tough to come back from that. Not the performance we were looking for. We have to bat better especially in India you have to put up a big first innings total and that is something we need to look at. No problem with the decision, everyone wanted to bat first, there was a bit of moisture and this is Test cricket, you expect moisture and we had to batted better. The timing was off, when we took the second new ball we had to make the batters play more. The batting is the main problem, getting those partnerships and we didn't get any fifty partnerships, in cricket it is about getting partnerships."

The national selection committee is likely to take a call on India’s ODI captaincy in the selection meeting scheduled for later on Saturday.

IND vs WI Live Score: Here's Siraj
Feeling very happy, we did well with both bat and ball. The wicket was slow in the 2nd innings, it just wasn't coming onto the bat, felt like taking 5 wickets here (despite grabbing 3). I didn't know that (on being told it's the first time he took wickets in a 2nd innings in India), it's a special feeling. The batting was good, everyone took responsibility, KL has been making runs since the England tour, Shubman has been good and so have the others.

Both set batters dismissed in back-to-back overs! Smart planning and sharp execution from India. With the field set for the short ball, Siraj goes against the script and fires in a yorker. He nails it perfectly, catching Greaves on the pad. This length has troubled Greaves before — he was bowled by a yorker from Bumrah in the first innings. This time, Siraj gets the ball to swing back in sharply, Greaves plants his front foot across, plays around it, misses, and is struck low on the pads

India vs West Indies Live Score: Wicket!
Washington Sundar to Athanaze, out Caught & Bowled!! The partnership is finally broken and Athanaze’s defiance ends. A very full ball on off stump straightens as Athanaze tries to close the face and work it to the leg side. Instead, it takes the leading edge and pops up to the bowler’s right. Sundar moves across, stretches out his right hand and safely completes the catch with both hands. Athanaze, who looked assured for most of his stay, eventually plays against the turn and pays the price.

Bumrah to Athanaze, no run — and the ball smacks into the helmet! Athanaze anticipated it to angle down the leg side, but it came straight at him. He tried to duck under the bouncer but couldn’t get out of the way in time. Thankfully, it struck the side of the helmet.

I try to understand what's happening in different situations which has helped me understand myself a lot more. But yeah, I think I am the same guy who looks to give his 100% everyday whether it's a gameday or a training day. I just try to give myself a bit of extra time.

"It's such a blessing that we did really well as a team in England. It gave all of us a lot of confidence going forward. Yes, I think with this team and the kind of characters that we have got, I think we can definitely do a lot of special things in this format in particular and definitely make India a lot proud.
"I would like to stay in the present and do my job. I will be very happy seeing the purchase on the wicket especially it being Day 3. Obviously, all of us need to bowl in the right areas. Hopefully, we will have a great day.

IND vs WI Live Score: Pitch Report
Pitch Report by Deep Dasgupta: "It is Day 3 of this Test match and generally, Day 3 is known as the moving day and this day is a very very important day. The sun is out. It is nice and pleasant and I have got the radiant Daren Ganga alongside. Daren, Day 1, we said this is a good Test match pitch. Initially, for the fast bowlers, 12 wickets. Day 2, we said it is going to be good for batting and 327 odd runs were scored. And now, Day 3, what do you expect?"
Daren Ganga: "Well, we saw 3 hundreds on Day 2. And I think those 3 centurions, they negotiated the wear and tear very well. Let's look at those wear and tear, these marks will interest bowlers like Jadeja and like Washington Sundar. For the right-hander, these areas will interest someone like a Kuldeep. Remember, the West Indies will be batting today at some point. There are many learnings they can take from those 3 centurions.
KL Rahul was very good, very assured about himself, coming forward, smothering the spin. And he used the opportunity to score square of the wicket. Jurel as well, using the depth of the crease. Gave himself time and picked the length early. Jadeja changed the length by advancing down the track.
For me, it is a hybrid model needed for batting against spin. The West Indies need to apply themselves and back themselves. They need to think that they can draw this Test match."
Dasgupta: "Day 3, lot more for the spinners. No two ways about it. Lot more footmarks to work with on both sides, whether you are a right-hander or a left-hander. It is going to be really interesting to see how the batters manage this. Batting is still quite possible, provided you apply yourself like Daren said."

Campbell followed soon after, driving straight to Sai Sudharsan at forward short leg off Ravindra Jadeja. Brandon King and Alick Athanaze added 10 runs for the third wicket before King nicked one to KL Rahul off Jadeja.
Kuldeep Yadav produced a magical delivery to uproot Roston Chase’s off stump, and Jadeja struck again to dismiss Shai Hope, who couldn’t keep his cut shot down.
Athanaze survived a close call against Jadeja before the break and remains unbeaten on 27 off 50 balls, while Justin Greaves is 10 not out, helping stitch together a 20-run stand for the sixth wicket.
Jadeja leads the bowling with three wickets, while Kuldeep and Siraj have one each. Play resumes in 40 minutes with what could be the final session of this Test.
