WI vs IND: List of records broken on Day 1 of first test

Ravi Ashwin registered his 33rd Fifer and Ajinkya Rahane registers a unique feat during Day 1 of the 1st Test.

The first day of the first test between India and the West Indies in Dominica was dominated by the visitors. They dismissed the hosts for just 150 runs and ended the day with an unbeaten 80-run stand for the first wicket. It started with the West Indies winning the toss and electing to bat first. That decision didn't go well, as they couldn't tackle the spin of Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

Ravi Ashwin, who made his comeback into the playing XI, ended up picking his 33rd career fifer in test cricket. It was also his fifth against the Caribbean Team. The hosts had a 31-run opening stand, but Rohit Sharma introduced spin early and Ashwin dismissed both the openers. He ended up with a figure of 5/60 in 24.3 overs. The 36-year-old dismissed Kraigg Brathwaite, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, Alzarri Joseph, and Jomel Warrican.
