KL Rahul's remarkable 11th Test century anchored India as they dominated West Indies in the opening Test match, with Dhruv Jurel's maiden and Ravindra Jadeja's stylish centuries following suit. India's strategic gameplay resulted in a formidable 286-run lead by the end of day two.

India's batsmen, Rahul, Jurel, and Jadeja, each showcased distinct styles and celebrations, energizing the crowd with the familiar sword swing from Jadeja and Jurel's military salute for the Indian Army. Their partnership showcased the differing approaches yet effective synergy in building pressure against an insipid West Indies bowling attack.

The team took aggressive yet methodical strides, with India scoring at a vintage Test cricket pace but with calculated aggression, including 45 boundaries and eight maximums amidst determined contributions. With a solid performance, India sets sights on a swift victory, further solidifying their standing in the World Test Championship.
