IND vs WI Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 3: India beat West Indies by an innings and 140 runs; take 1-0 lead
IND vs WI Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 3: India’s Day 2 dominance over the West Indies set the stage for a commanding performance on Day 3 of the opening Test.
Resuming at 121/2, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill quickly erased the deficit, with Rahul finally ending his home century drought by scoring 100 off 197 balls, his 11th overall. Gill contributed a solid 98 before falling just after reaching his fifty.
The highlight, however, was the combination of Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja. Jurel notched his maiden Test century in only his sixth match, while Jadeja continued his purple patch, scoring 104. Together, they compiled a 206-run stand for the fifth wicket, narrowly missing the Indian record of 214 held by VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar.
Both batters showcased aggressive yet controlled play — Jurel with a six over midwicket and Jadeja hitting five towering sixes, surpassing MS Dhoni for the most maximums by an Indian in Tests.
KL Rahul celebrated his century for his infant daughter, Jurel saluted the Indian Army, and Jadeja’s familiar sword celebration delighted fans.
India batted with patience and authority, scoring 448/5 in 128 overs at 3.50 runs per over, with 45 boundaries and eight sixes. The West Indies bowling lacked energy, and their spinners could not extract a consistent threat despite appreciable turn and bounce from the rough.
With a 286-run lead and spinners ready to exploit the pitch, India will look to press for a result by the end of Day 3.
The hosts’ disciplined yet aggressive approach has left the West Indies struggling under mounting pressure, setting up a potential early finish and a dominant start in the World Test Championship. Follow all the live updates on TimesofIndia.com!

IND vs WI Live Score: Technical tweaks paying off
Behind Rahul’s resurgence are hours of work with Abhishek Nayar, Rahul Dravid and Vikram Rathour. A bottom-hand grip issue was fixed, reducing unwanted slices. Dravid always believed Rahul should average 50 in Tests; in the past year, he’s nearly there. His Test average in the last 12 months: 49.9. Across formats too, his consistency stands out — 48 in ODIs, 53 in IPL.

India vs West Indies Live Score: Roller-coaster to revival
It’s been a turbulent 12 months for Rahul. Dropped after one Test in last year’s New Zealand series, and then struggling in Australia, his spot looked shaky. But the Anderson-Tendulkar series in England reignited his career: 532 runs in five Tests. With Rohit retired, Rahul has seamlessly slotted back as India’s opener — and looks at ease.
