Although the match finished in just three days but crowd of eden garden's must be satisfied with sachin presence and India's win . They had cheer and applauded his every actions.

Match Report 1 : Test India beat West Indies

India beat West Indies by 51 runs on third day of the test match at Eden garden, Kolkata. This turnout to be a rather easier game for Indian as one expected before game. After losing the toss and bowling first on a pitch which would be nightmare for the team batting in fourth innings, also raised some eyebrows in India camp.

But playing in subcontinent conditions and that too against team like India is always difficult if you don’t have a strong batting line up. Although almost all West Indies players have the experience to play in these conditions, thanks to IPL. But test cricket is all different game and result of this game proves that too. 

India had won all the sessions expect first sessions of Day 1 where they only managed to pick up two wickets and Day 2 where they lost five wickets in one session. Sessions are the important in test cricket and as said by experts, time and again that “those who win more sessions, wins the game”.  

Two centuries are all for India to put them ahead in the game where any runs lead was good for team which had to bat last. Rohit Sharma, who was playing his test match after a long wait of more than 100 ODI’s, had again played the match winning knock for India.

But it was another Debutant who impressed everyone with his bowling. Mohammed Shami had picked 9 wickets (four in first innings and five in second) in his first match and made his presence in count in his very outing.

India vs West Indies, Test 1, Day 3

India started the day from 354/6 with Rohit Sharma on 127* and R Ashwin on 92*. Both started the day well for India. They added 82 runs to India’s corpus and to their partnership of 198* before Rohit was judged LBW by umpire Kettleborough on Permaul’s bowling. Their partnership of 280 runs was the record partnership for India for seventh wicket.

Mohammed Shami

Rohit added 50 more runs to his overnight score and finished on 177 runs with 23 fours and one six. With that Rohit become the second highest runs getter on debut for India. Ashwin wasn’t too behind and completed his second ton of the career. He made 124 runs with 11 boundaries. 

After that, Indian tail Enders only managed to put nine runs to the scoreboard and India finished on 453 runs. India got the lead of 219 runs which was a huge one on that pitch. West Indian Bowlers or you can say spinners picked up all four wickets remaining wickets on Day 3. 

Permaul, who was wicket less on Day 2, scalped two wickets and their strike bowler, Shane Shillingford, also added two more to his last night four wickets. With that Shillingford finished at 6/167.

West Indies must be expected a great start from his openers, Chris Gayle and Kieran Powell. Gayle started in his very own style and smashed few boundaries which led him to 33 runs. West Indies score was parallel to him that is 33 runs for no loss. 

But that’s ended when he tried to pull the B Kumar’s short delivery and was caught by Virat Kohli. Darren Bravo (37), who came to the crease after Gayle’s wicket, had tried to consolidate the innings with Powell They made 68 runs for second wicket before Powell was plumbed in front of wickets and given out on Ashwin’s Delivery.  

West Indies was at 101 for 2 and they need 118 runs more to shunned the innings defeat. But after that there wasn’t much for West Indies who lost next eight wickets in the span of 67 runs. Samuels (4), Ramdin (1) and Sammy (8), all collapsed before Shami’s storm. Shivnarine Chanderpaul was the last man stand for West Indies and he made unbeaten 31.

Once again, Indian bowling revolves around Mohammed Shami. He was fast and accurate and to prove that true, he has stats with him. He got three wickets bowled and one LBW that shows bowling on wickets is always a good idea. Mohammed Shami finished this innings with five wicket haul. If he was good in first innings then he was deadly in second.

Ashwin couldn’t stop after scoring a ton and done what was expected from him that is picking up some wickets and he did exactly that by scalping three wickets. Indian Bowling figures (See at the end of post)

India had won the game by 51 runs and Rohit Sharma was awarded with Man of the Match in his debut match.

After that too there was no cheer for India as they lost wickets that left them 83 for 5. Cheteshwar Pujara was on 17 runs when he tried to guide the ball over slip region but he couldn’t guide the ball beyond wicketkeeper gloves. Sachin Tendulkar, when came to the crease there was a huge cheer for him from the crowd. He had only managed to score 10 runs which included two boundaries. 

After the wicket of Virat Kohli, India were in deep trouble and it seemed at one point that they might lost the advantage they got after finishing West Indies innings on Day 1. “First hour or so was crucial for batting side and if they passed that period without any trouble they would be upper hand in the rest of the day” everyone saying that before second day because there was something for bowler at start. But team India might chosen to not hear all that and they had lost the wickets during that period and they were 83/5.

Shane Shillingford was brilliant for West Indies on Day 2 in fact he was the only bowler who created some trouble for Indian batsman. He picked up four wickets which also include the wicket of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar which created some hullabaloo. Debutant Cottrell and Best were the others who picked up wickets.

Rohit Sharma and skipper MS Dhoni provided them some resistance by adding 73 runs for sixth wicket. Their partnership was broken when Dhoni edged the ball to keeper when he was on 42 runs. But the entertainment for crowd couldn’t end there. Rohit Sharma scored a century on his debut and salvages the team under the dark cloud. He along with R Ashwin, who scored unbeaten 92, putted 198 runs for seventh wicket. With the help of their knocks India finished the day at 354/6 and taken a 129 runs lead.
