In reply to IND’s first innings total of 438, WI were 229/5 at the close of play on Day 3. However, Mohammed Siraj claimed four wickets in no time to bundle out the hosts for 255 on the penultimate day.

WI lost their first wicket on Day 4 courtesy of Mukesh Kumar, who dismissed Alick Athanaze before Siraj wreaked havoc to get rid of Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, and Shannon Gabriel within his four overs on day 4.

Earlier in the Caribbean innings, Siraj had dismissed wicketkeeper-batter Joshua Da Silva. As a result, the right-arm quick returned with his second five-wicket haul (5/60) in his short career in Test cricket.

Mohammed Siraj’s relentless pace, impeccable line and length, and unwavering determination proved to be a nightmare for the West Indian batsmen, as they struggled to counter his lethal bowling.

After a hard-fought contest, India had managed to gain a substantial lead in the first innings. As the match entered its fourth day, the pressure was on the West Indies to mount a strong comeback and set a challenging target for India to chase.
