Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin shared three wickets apiece as India dismissed the West Indies Cricket Board President’s XI for a mere 180 on the first day of the second warm-up match at Warner Park, Basseterre, on Thursday.
On the other hand, India were 93 for three at stumps with KL Rahul unbeaten on 30 at the crease following the dismissal of Cheteshwar Pujara (28). Murali Vijay (23) and Shikhar Dhawan (9) were other two batsmen who got out early. Chemar Holder, Jason Dawes and Rahkeem Cornwall clicked wicket apiece.
Earlier in the day, WICB President’s XI skipper Leon Johnson won the toss and chose to bat.
After a brisk start, the hosts lost the way as wickets continued to tumble at regular intervals. Rahkeem Cornwall (41), John Campbell (34) and Jermaine Blackwood (36) were the stand-out performers for the WICB President’s XI.
Apart from Jadeja and Ashwin, leg-spinner Amit Mishra also picked up two wickets while Shardul Thakur and Stuart Binny also scalped one each.
