Nitish Kumar Reddy took a stunning diving catch to dismiss Tagenarine Chanderpaul as India dominated Day 3 of the first Test against West Indies. India declared at 448, putting West Indies under pressure at 66-5 by lunch.
Nitish Kumar Reddy: On Day 3 of the ongoing first Test between India and the West Indies, India took a significant step forward with a commanding performance, highlighted by a spectacular catch by all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. His diving catch at square leg dismissed West Indies batsman Tagenarine Chanderpaul early in their second innings, giving India the upper hand.
After India declared their first innings at a formidable 448 runs, the West Indies began their chase with optimism but quickly faced setbacks. Tagenarine Chanderpaul, who looked poised to build an innings, was caught brilliantly by Nitish Kumar Reddy off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj. Chanderpaul’s dismissal at just 12 runs set the tone for India’s dominance.
India’s decision to declare with a lead of 286 runs sparked discussions, especially as key players like Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were still at the crease, and Nitish Kumar Reddy had yet to bat. However, Reddy’s impact on the game was felt even before he got a chance to bat, thanks to his stunning catch that thrilled fans and cricket experts alike.
The Indian bowling attack continued to pressure the West Indies, with John Campbell, Brandon King, Roston Chase, and Shai Hope all falling cheaply. By the lunch break on Day 3, the West Indies were struggling at 66-5, with only Alick Athanaze and Greaves providing some resistance.
India’s clinical performance in the first session on Day 3 showcased their intent to press for a victory in this crucial Test match. As the second session begins, India will look to maintain their momentum, while the West Indies hope their remaining batsmen can mount a fightback.
