Ravichandran Ashwin’s exceptional delivery led to the dismissal of T Chanderpaul, providing India with their first wicket in the Test match.
Ashwin tossed the ball up outside off stump, luring Chanderpaul into a defensive stroke. The ball drifted in, evading the outside edge and hitting the stumps. Chanderpaul’s technique was faultless, but Ashwin’s skill and guile were too much for the left-handed batsman.
This timely breakthrough energized the Indian team, giving them the advantage just before the drinks break.
